David M Vesco, MD

This is the best doctor ever. Very caring and always thinking about his patients. Office is always clean and wait time is reasonable. Would highly recommend him.

Awesome, intuitive, kind, super smart doctor.

Dr Vesco is an old school pro. I went in there to have my heart checked cause I was having palpitations. He heard my mitral Valve prolapse when no other doctor has been able to hear it for quite some time now. He used some techniques that I have never seen before and all I can say is that he knows his stuff. I was impressed and he didn’t waste my time or my money in doing unnecessary tests like they do over at Kaiser. He told me exactly what I needed. Even though he is a doctor, he did not prescribe a bunch of unnecessary drugs. He recommended some selenium and magnesium and the palpitations went away! No drugs and no side effects. He is a one stop doctor like the old days, very informed and skilled, not like Kaiser which has become a human mill that made me run around the hospital from one doctor to the next to run up the bill to keep Kaiser in business.
I RECOMMEND HIM HIGHLY!

Stay away. This «doctor» does not know anything. He couldn’t even properly measure my mother’s blood pressure. I don’t even think he is a real doctor, and if he is, I cannot believe someone would license him.

With years of seeing patients, Dr. Vesco has seen it all. If he is quick to make a diagnosis without additional tests, it is because of his experience. He has never mis-​diagnosed me.

Dr. Vesco is an excellent doctor!
He has successfully treated me a couple of times after other doctors have failed.
Once I had a bladder infection and went to see a specialist in the area I live in– Los Angeles. He prescribed an antibiotic. Two days later my condition was worsening. I was in extreme pain. I decided to go to Dr. Vesco (who had treated me before for different diagnosis) even though his office is in Calabasas which is far from where I live. When I told him what type of antibiotic I’ve been prescribed, he immediately changed it for a stronger one explaining that the one I’ve been taking was not strong enough for me (it was a very low dose). And that’s the reason why the infection went up to my kidneys! He gave me his cell phone number and told me to go home, rest and watch out for developing high fever. He told me to call him anytime if my symptoms got worse. I went home and started taking the new antibiotic. I felt much better the very next day and soon after that my infection was cured.
This doctor really cares about his patients. I agree with previous comments about him offering samples to lower the cost of a medicine.
Now, I have Kaiser insurance from my work. However, if I have a major health concern, I still go to him, as he is the only doctor I completely trust.
I also like the fact that I can go anytime, no appointment necessary and the wait time is never too long.
Thank you Dr. Vesco and I hope there are more doctors like you!

I just discovered Dr. Vesco after being in the area for over 20 years. My doctor referred me when I couldn’t get in to see them for a week… I couldnt’ wait that long. Since that time, my family has seen him on 3 occasions. We love the short wait, quick appointments, no nonense atmosphere. So easy… hey…you just want the right diagnoses, the medication, and get on the way to being better. Old school, yes… thank goodness!

Dr. Vesco is one of those rare doctors that actually cares about your health when you go to him. He’ll do everything on his part to get you what you need and have you feel better. It’s my second visit there and both times he’s been helpful and right about his diagnosis. Usually other doctors will have me running around, making co-​pay after co-​pay and buying medication that doesn’t do anything. With him, one visit is all it takes. I wish everyone in healthcare was as honest and dedicated as him — we’d have way less sick people.

Wow I’m pretty surprised about some of the negative reviews here on Dr. Vesco. Personally, Dr. Vesco has been the only doctor that actually gives a sh** about health and has been there each time I or my family has needed him. He was the only doctor that saved my father’s life when he had a heart attack. I had to make a house call and in minutes he was at the hospital telling the hospital doctors exactly what to do, taking charge! The comment below about the old school doctor is dead on. He may not be incredibly talkative, but he is concise and does not mess around. When a family friend’s son had a high fever, every other doctor said he’ll be ok it’ll just take some time to lower the temperature. That proved to be almost fatal advice, until our friend went to Dr. Vesco and he immediately put the kid on medication under a close watch. Maybe it’s because he’s foreign, i don’t know… but there really isn’t any doctor like him that i’ve seen.

I think Dr. Vesco is terrific. I have gone to him several times for various issues ranging from a bad cold to get a z-​pack and major back problems. He is always kind, gets me right in and is very helpful. I haven’t experienced any of the other issues other reviewers mentioned.

I have to completely agree with R.K. I went to see Dr. Vesco and he spent very little time with me. He took absolutely ZERO vital signs or height/​weight. When the test results came back about what was up, the secretary called me and informed me of the results, but neither her or the doctor said a single word on how to go about treating it!
I will never return to this practice and would advise anyone else to look elsewhere, as well.
Regarding the secretary and speaker phone; I noticed this as well and thought it was very odd and probably a violation of patient’s privacy for the entire waiting room to be hearing about their situation.

I’ll start my reviews with the positives:
Parking is plentiful and the location is easy to find as it’s right next to taco bell off las virgenes.
I didn’t need to make an appointment for a walk in and the wait was very short on both visits.
The negatives:
The secretary likes to use the speaker phone when talking to patients who call in. I found this a bit disturbing when a patient called in about her diarrhea and other bodily fluid discharge problems and the speaker echo’d her voice through the entire lobby area for those of us waiting to hear. Not sure if this violates HIPAA but I’d advise anyone calling in to keep your personal information off the phone.
Dr Vesco is a below average doctor. I’ve visited the office twice for Urgent Care and on both visits he spent just a minute with me and didn’t communicate anything about treatment of my illness. I had to ask about dosing information. My condition was highly contagious and the doctor did not advise me of this. He also does not answer simple questions clearly and so I had append my questions with «yes or no?» at the end to get a clear answer.
The doctor strikes me as very socially retarded with no communication and people skills. I went early in the morning and the office was empty or I’d attribute to his workload causing some sort of burnout from the profession.
Unfortunately I will not be able to trust Dr Vesco my future health care needs and will be looking for another Urgent Care location.

Dr. Vesco’s a great old school, no frills, genuine doctor. He provides excellent care to his patience without all the bull you usually have to put up with at most medical offices. He cares for his patients, both medically and financially. If there is a pricey medication he recommends for you that you cannot afford, he will hook you up with samples, if possible.
Also, I love that you do not always have to wait long to see the doc. The longest I’ve ever had to wait to see Vesco was maybe an hour or two, when there were other patients in line before me. Most times, I can see Dr. Vesco within the hour, which is useful when certain symptoms make waiting for an office visit (and/​or prescription) difficult. It’s like urgent care, but much, MUCH better!
