Veiseh Shawn, MD

Dr Veiseh is the finest medical internist I have ever had, and I heartily recommend him.
It is a comfort to know that his office is within the Ronald Regan-​UCLA medical Center on Westwood Bd.
Dr Veiseh is the most professional and thoughtful and attentive physician. He always has time for me which gives me enormous comfort as I reach ‘elderly’ status.
His computer generated reports of my total annual physical exam is something to behold. This report shows every test he takes and their results. The results are also compared to whatever is normal for my age.
Once again, if you are looking for a totally professional and a really nice doctor, please call him for an appointment.

Nice doctor but very expensive. I got a routine physical through my PPO and it cost me $ 900 out of pocket.

Health is such a personal and important matter that I feel it necessary to write a review.
Both my mom and sister go to him, and I don’t know why. He is seriously a thief. My appointment was at 9am I didn’t get out of there until 11 because he wanted to do a «thorough exam». By thorough exam he wanted to get as much money as he could from my insurance on tests that I didn’t even need for my age. I know this because I asked him if these tests are necessary and he said «no I just scanned your insurance card to see what tests your insurance covers.»
Well just because my insurance covers the cost of these tests it doesn’t mean that I was okay with having them done. What’s more is that he didn’t even ask me questions about my medical state to figure out if it would behoove me to take these tests!
There are so many details I can go into about why is has no manners and how he’s rude, which I didn’t hesitate to tell him to his face. But what was most jarring to me was that he goes «call me in about a week to get your results».
Um… Excuse me you unprofessional Doctor, every doctor I’ve ever been to including my dogs vet calls ME with the results!!! I am so upset I went to him and gave this guy puppet money.
He is so dry, bland, and non personable above all else unprofessional. He is a figure head of a dr who just wears the doctors costume. Never going back

Dr Veiseh is the best thing that could have happened in our life. NO Joke. My dad was seeing this doctor for almost 30 years until we convinced him to go see Dr Veiseh. We were referred to him by a family friend. My dad was reluctant to go but finally agreed. My dad is 73 and he has symptoms from vertigo, shortness of breath, fatigue and lower back ache and swelling basically living in pain. His primary doctor would give him nothing but pills after pills. He would tell him to just relax and it may be stress causing these symptoms.
Our first visit to Dr Veiseh –the office small, intimate and calming. The lady that works the front desk Aileen was very nice and helpful. My dad speaks only japanese so she translated for him. The nurses all made my dad feel comfortably when they he did the complete physical exam. Now we know exactly what was causing my dads symptoms and is now working with specialist take care of his health. I know this sounds cheezy but My dad has a new lease on life and is now working to live a healthier lifestyle. We originally took our dad to get a second opinion but he is now our primary family physical. Thank you Dr Veiseh and you staff for everything!

This guy is a total fraud. If I could give him no stars I would. He has probably paid for these good reviews. The way to judge a good doctor is by what he does at time of crisis. After my mother had a severe stroke in a foreign country his course of action was to fly her back to the US and have her observed at home so he could continue to charge for his «in home visits» thankfully we got smart switched doctors and she was admitted to Cedars stroke unit. I would urge everyone to read all negative reviews on this guy and heed. He is a total crook and a greedy doctor.

I was referred to this place by my doctor after I told him I need someone to oversee my whole well being. I have five different doctors and no one to really connect the dots. Dr. Viseh is the person who did this for me. He made sense of all the other doctors and labs and «diagnosis» that I had received. I can go to any doctor and I have the best isnurance. I choose to go to Dr. Viseh because he is smart and on top of his game.

All the negative reviews didn’t reflect my experience at all. We moved to LA from NY and Dr. Veiseh was referred to us by a colleague of my wife’s. I had a VERY thorough physical — way more in-​depth than the ten minute one I got in NY. I then came back and he reviewed the results with me in his office. My wife has been going to him as well. Last week she had an issue, called and was seen that day. While he’s not super friendly, why should he be? He’s a doctor and evaluating you as a patient. He was civil and business-​like. His office people were very nice — from the receptionist to the Ultra Sound lady. Only one time have I had a significant wait when going and it’s perfectly understandable — there were also long waits in New York as well — as the system gets more crowded due to O care, breezing in and being seen right away will be a thing of the past.

Dr Veiseh is wonderful!- He has been my internist since 99′. Sometimes I really dislike Unilocal as it seems only the bad experiences get listed. So, here we go with the facts — Dr. V’s office is for people who want complete preventative care. Who believe in screenings and blood work to find problems early. Yes, there are upfront costs to this strategy of care. Dr. V is also an internist so his knowledge is deeper than a general practitioner and he has relationships with the best specialists in the country. Over the years, when I have had an emergency in the middle of the night or on the weekend — his service connects me to his cell phone!!! Amazing care in this world of ever changing health services out there — 5 star. Love his office staff too. Thank you very much Dr. Veiseh!!!

I love this man. He was recommended to me by the VP of our studio five years ago and now takes care of all of our family members and many of my close friends.
Shawn has practically become a member of our family and takes great care of us. He has great clinical acumen along with a warmth and humanity that is rare to find. His office staff is prompt an courteous and obtaining an appointment is super easy.

This Dr. is so unprofessional to me Dr. Veiseh is my husband primary Dr, for over 12 Years, My husband recently had an issue and went to UCLA ER Dept, after Dr, V asked him to go there, the Dr, never came to visit him and told the ER Dr, that my husband should consult with a GI DR that he referred him to that Dr was not available for over two weeks, then he was told by the office staff to come and see Dr V, for what I don’t know, this Dr charges out rages fees, My husband has PPO medical plan and still ends of paying outrages prices, last year my husband convince me to go there for my physical we received two bills one for my physical 1300.00 and his was 800.00 for blood work my husband has never paid for a physical, so he called and the front office told him they had a new billing person and they coded everything wrong. I am in the process of finding my husband a new primary Dr, I will never go to this Dr. again, including my husband.

This is in regards to my overall experience at this office. I came in to get a diagnosis on a swelling on my finger. I showed up on time to my appt but had to wait for like nearly 30 minute until I could get seen. As an aspiring medical professional, I had sort if pre-​diagnosed myself prior to going into the office so I could compare with what the MD could say. When I was finally called in, my vitals were taken and Dr Veiseh took a look at my finger. Before it was even 5 minutes, I got a diagnosis, which turned out to be the same as what I found on WebMD. He then referred me to a hand specialist, since the incision and drainage could apparently not be performed at his office.
It turned out that the hand specialist could not see me until another 4 more days, which I could not wait for since the swelling had gotten to be really painful the past 3 days already. Long story short, I ended up going to the ER the same day to get it drained. I was told to go back to my primary care doctor Dr Veiseh afterwards for a follow up appointment.
A few weeks later, I get a bill from Dr Veiseh’s office. I was charged $ 350 for the initial visit and another $ 350 for the followup visit. Now I haven’t been to the doctor very many times in my life, but this just seemed a little outrageous for what was actually performed. I do have insurance, but I was still left with still a substantial out-​of-​pocket responsibility of about $ 130. $ 700 is just a ludicrous charge for what was actually said and done. There was pretty much nothing done to my finger except for visual examinations and removal of the post-​IND bandage. Dr Veiseh’s diagnosis was exactly what I diagnosed myself on
and I don’t know what the point of the follow-​up visit was for except to feed them money since it clearly was not swollen anymore after the drainage procedure. Literally, I probably only received a grand total of 15 minutes of «professional» attention during the 2 visits I was there and was charged a grand total of $ 700.
What sort of bothered me was the fact that when I called the office staff to complain about the bill, the biller did not seem to comprehend nor have any sympathy for the outrageous charge I received for the small care that I actually received.

I am really surprised by the review below bc my experience couldn’t have been better. Dr. V was recommended to me by another doctor friend when I asked her who I should go to for a complete head to toe physical after recently turning 40. I wanted the works. The offices are very personal and intimate. I didnt feel like a number on a conveyor belt. I was promptly greeted by the front office and taken in to begin my check-​up right away. I had various technicians run me through tests (bloodwork, treadmill, bone density, sonogram of all organs etc…) and it was all done so professionally and in a friendly manner. I really enjoyed chatting with the staff as we went through the procedures and they were very knowledgeable in answering questions I had along the way. Dr. V sat down to chat with me and carefully and considerately listened to all of my concerns and addressed my questions with great care. We then came up with a plan to achieve my health goals, which included to stop smoking, to drink less, and to lose some weight. Needless to say, the next day I stopped smoking (and drinking) and have not done so for more than 2 months. I implemented an effective workout plan where I have lost 7 pounds. I FEEL GREAT! The follow up care has been impeccable, as well. I just feel really grateful to have such a wonderful doctor by my side on my path to wellness.

The most awful group of human beings works in this office. Stay away if you value your time, money and mental health. They are all just rotten and treat people like garbage. Just a real bad experience here people… Don’t do it. Find someone who cares. If the front office staff are rude it is a real bad sign. Remember, when going out to eat if it smells bad out front, who knows what is going on in the kitchen? Right?

Wow, I don’t like to write a neg review but this doctor really ticked me off. He was so cold, impersonal, unfriendly and totally not interested in seeing me as a patient. I should say that I have a clean bill of health a PPO Blue Shield Insurance plan and was going in for a routine annual checkup. He was a referral from someone I know. Went into his office and after 40 min of waiting while he chatted with other people outside, I was asked very brief general questions (intake form I guess). He didn’t ask about any specific conditions or illnesses I may have, any meds I may be taking etc… I asked for a blood test so he sent me into another room where I waited another 15 min for someone to come in. I had to ASK for them to take my vitals and do a checkup. Thankfully the front desk guy was super nice and came in to tell me that a simple blood test was $ 500.00. Now I have PPO Blue Shield insurance and to be told I have to pay $ 500 for a simple blood test is ridiculous!!! I said no thanks and then ASKED the doctor to at least do the general examination. Another 10 min of waiting, the doc comes in and listens to my heart, looks in my ear, does a quick NON-​thorough breast exam and walks out. I was asked to pay my $ 40 co-​pay and was sent home. I stood there and ASKED him to write me a prescription for blood work so I can take it to a less expensive lab ($ 120 maximum for blood work) and clearly he didn’t seem too happy about that!
I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR TO ANYONE! NEGATIVE ALL THE WAY!
