I originally left a one-star review out of frustration, but after my experience today, I wanted to update it to be more accurate. For nearly three weeks, I repeatedly called the office, left multiple voicemails, and never received a callback. As a returning patient, that was incredibly frustrating. At this point, I genuinely believe there may be an issue with the office phone system rather than a lack of concern from the staff. When I previously visited the office, the woman at the front desk was constantly working--answering phones, helping patients, dealing with insurance, and keeping everything moving. She was clearly working hard and doing everything she could. Out of frustration, I eventually called Dr. Vesco's direct line, which said I would receive a callback within 30 minutes. Instead, I got a call back in about 30 seconds--even though it was during the office's lunch break. Both the front desk and Dr. Vesco took the time to help me, resolved my issue quickly, and treated me with kindness. I genuinely appreciated that they interrupted their lunch to make sure I was taken care of. I'm updating my review to three stars because my only real complaint is the difficulty reaching the office by phone. If that communication issue can be fixed, I think it would make a significant difference for patients. read more

I brought my mom, who has dementia, to Dr. Vesco's office for her first visit, and it was extremely disappointing. After only a few minutes with us, the doctor stepped out to take a personal call that lasted 10-15 minutes. He never returned, and we eventually left. When I later spoke with Sherri at the front desk, she was dismissive and gaslit my concerns instead of taking responsibility or showing care about why we left. No one from the office ever followed up. The lack of professionalism and compassion at this office is unacceptable. I would not recommend it to anyone seeking quality care. Does not even deserve a 1 star. read more

I recently had my first appointment with Dr. David Vesco and I can't express how grateful I am to have found him. I'm in my late 20s and have been dealing with some skin issues, but honestly, I hadn't been to a primary care doctor in years. I was nervous and didn't know what to expect--especially as someone on Medi-Cal, since past experiences haven't always been great. From the moment I walked in, the office felt welcoming and not overly clinical or cold. The staff were kind and professional, which helped ease my anxiety right away. The space itself has a cozy, comforting vibe that makes a big difference when you're already feeling vulnerable. Dr. Vesco is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly has years of experience, but what stood out the most was how genuinely kind and easy to talk to he was. He took my concerns seriously and made me feel respected and heard--something I sadly haven't always felt in the healthcare system. I left the appointment feeling hopeful, which is not something I expected going in. I'm actually looking forward to getting regular care now, which is a first for me. If you're looking for a doctor who truly cares and treats you like a person--not just a chart--I highly recommend Dr. Vesco. read more

AVOID. Terrible Doctor's office. First off, no one answers phone or returns messages. After calling dozens of times, leaving messages and even calling Doctor directly, there was no response, I decided to change to another provider. The one time I took my wife to see him, he wrote a prescription that never went through because he didn't bother to call it in. Messages and reminders did not do the trick. This office is a JOKE! You are a JOKE Dr. Vesco! read more

Terrible approach to patients. The receptionist asks incompetent questions that have nothing to do with the issue I came in for. The earliest appointment is in two weeks. Considering I haven't been sleeping properly for almost a month because of this problem, it feels like an eternity. They refused to help me sooner and told me to call my insurance to request a different doctor. Horrible service! read more

Absolutely the best medical care and a wonderful human being!! More professionals should be like dr Vesco , the world would be a better place. Keep up your great efforts!! Warren read more

Excellent and extremely knowledgeable. My family has been seeing Dr. Vesco for years and every experience has been great.

24 years with real doctor! The best diagnostic in town! I am so grateful for your expertise and the positive impact you've made on my life. Thank you for being an amazing doctor! read more

Dr. Vesco is wonderful , direct , honest and actually cares about his patients. A wonderful professional!

Things went from strange to downright fraudulent and potentially criminal. When I first found the inaccurate charge for an office visit that did not happen, I contacted the office. 'Sheri' was not only unhelpful, she lied at every given turn and refused to let me talk to the Dr. She also sent to collections, which I was thankfully able to clear up. However, she did not reconcile the trumped up charge for the office visit that never happened. I contacted the department of consumer affairs for an investigation, in which she told lie after lie after lie. I started checking my health care account and discovered that Dr. Vesco's office also started calling in prescriptions to a pharmacy in another city under my name for a condition I don't have. If you do some research on Dr. David (Tchalakov) Vesco, you will see lawsuits, licenses suspensions, classes he was ordered to take that he may not have actually taken, and a license from Russia from a place that is unverifiable. Is it worth your family's health? Or months of trying to get fraudulent charges off of your account? You may save yourself time, money and energy looking elsewhere for a doctor. Attaching a couple of photos from one lawsuit here but there is a lot of unethical practices out there by Vesco for those who dig in. By the way, he also modified his name from his original Russian name quite some time ago, read more

Terrible experience. From the front office to the face to faces with Dr vesco, you can feel the lack of care and follow through instantaneously. I'm assuming most other reviews here are fake because there's just no way you can leave this place and be satisfied. read more

I love Dr. Vesco. He is the epitome of an excellent doctor excelling in kindness, patience and details. Exactly what one requires in an Internist. You are in good hands under his. Lately, I presented Dr. Vesco with a bloody mess on my right leg and ankle. After his clean-up and dressings, he made it look like a priceless piece-of-art. He is a perfectionist. I am grateful to Dr. Vesco and his nurse, Sherry. For several years, Dr, Vesco treated my husband until his recent death. He, too believed in Dr. Vesco. read more

If I could do this review without giving it a star I would. Dr. Vesco use to be a doctor who cared about his patients but now he has become a doctor who only cares about how much Monet he can squeeze out of your pockets. My daughter who us clearly disabled needed him to fill out the paperwork for her disability and after paying him for the letter to be filled out he then wanted an additional $125 for each document the attorney needed him to fill out. For her disability knowing her doctor he saw the results of her severely damaged brain but refused to fill out the medical documents unless we paid him $250 on top of the $125 we had already paid. Somewhere he forgot the reason he became a doctor unless this is who he always was. I will never recommend him to anyone anymore! read more

I should have written this review a long time ago since I've been a patient on multiple occasions. Dr. Vesko is so knowledgeable in just about anything medical he fixed my stomach. I came in with serious acid reflux, and within one day I was on the road to recovery. I then brought in my daughter. She had a very sore throat, and he knew right away what it was and how to treat it. Most important thing about Dr. Vesko. is probably his way of looking at nutrition and lifestyle. He's not the kind of doctor that puts a Band-Aid on a big problem. He helps you onto the road of recovery. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Thank you Dr. Vesko ! read more

I highly recommend Dr. David Vesco to anyone who's looking for an exceptional, knowledgeable and compassionate doctor. I've been his patient for almost three years. Dr. Vesco and his staff always makes sure that I feel welcome and taken care of. I've been impressed by his philosophy on life, and listening and communication skills. Thank you, Dr. Vesco, for your amazing work, kindness, and professionalism. You're a godsend. I really appreciate such a high level of care! Anjela read more

Very unprofessional pace. It was very dirty and the service was awful. The doctor seemed unsure about what was wrong with my throat. He misdiagnosed me as I went to another doctor and he figured it out. Worst doctors office I've ever gone to. Don't waste your time. It's also sandwiched between liquor stores... gross read more

I'm getting Stem Cell injections in my right shoulder, lots of tears in the rotator cuff. It's helping

I love this Doctor! Been coming for so many years and he has always been so easy to get in or a phone call away. He knows exactly what I need and has helped me when things seemed scary, like when I needed blood pressure medicine. He put me on the best one and I didn't skip a beat. I am so grateful, so so very grateful. Sherry is the best too! She is always kind and responsive, I just love her. Thank you Dr Vesco for always being there for me. I just wanted to say this...... xoxox read more

The worst doctor's office experience ever. They NEVER pick up their phones. They NEVER return calls. They DO NOT reply to emails. The receptionist is rude and argumentative. Dr. Vesco's office looks like a storage room with a child's desk. He has no bedside manners. Does not make eye contact with you and is not interested in your medical history. Just sends you to get labs done and then never returns your calls. Stay away from this doctor. He is more concerned with his weight loss center than regular patients. He also has issues with his medical license - check the boards website. read more

Dr. Vesco is my new doctor and I am very pleased with him. I feel I am in safe hands now concerning my health. I'd been taking 5 blood pressure medications for years and my blood pressure still remained around 140. Dr. Vesco prescribed 1 small pill and my blood pressure is in the 120 range. I told him of my concern of the inflammation around my ankles and knees and my frequent trips to the restroom at night. He assured me that what he now was prescribing would help and I am delighted to say that the inflammation is gone and I am now sleeping thru the night. No more trips to the restroom. Hats off to Dr. Vesco. And his assistant Sheri is a jewel. read more

My mom had a little accident in the kitchen and it cut her wrist open, after we took her to emergency room they gave her 9 stitches and about 2 weeks later her wrist wasn't getting any better, so I took her to this urgent care which was recommended by my sister, and they were very nice and sweet to take her in even though it was very close to their lunch break. The place is very clean and well put together. The patient rooms are a little dim for some reason but who cares as long as Dr.V can take care of her. Once he came into the room he spent ample time with my mom and answered questions and just by looking at it he was able to tell her what's going on and what she needs to do. Pretty good experience! read more

David Vesco, MD - Internal Medicine Near Me - Calabasas, California

Dr. Vesco has been my family's doctor for over twenty years. He guided me thru severe illness, listening to me, running the necessary tests and for sure saving my life becauseof his dilligence. When my parents came to live with me, he became their doctor as well. Taking care of both myparents till the end, offering me support and guidance thru hospice care. Dr. Vesco took care of my daughter throughout her childhood and teen years with the greatest patience and care. If you are looking for a knowledgeable dr. Who will take the time to listen to you, to examine, research and refer you if needed this is the dr. for you. read more

I visit him for a checkup. Usually, for Preventive Care Services, there is 0$ Co-Payment. But they charged me an Office Vist for 15$. That's fine but they didn't even do blood pressure and check the heartbeat. NOTHING. After Several days they didn't follow up with me about my blood test results. I had to call them 100 times and ask them. Finally, they called me and told me I have to see the doctor. again they charged me for 15$ office visit, I paid to the receptionist and when I was done with him. The doctor came outside and told me 15$ looool. He gave me a prescription and I went to CVS and they told me they can't give me that because they need a pre-authorization from my insurance. they sent a fax to him. but STILL no response from him. I told him I need an authorization letter for a specialist because I have a kidney pain, But he didn't care at all. I just changed my primary doctor. read more

Worst experience I've ever had. Planning on filing a complaint with the medical board. The place is like a circus, albeit one with virtually no patrons. Trying to get a call back is impossible. The doctor has never given me a complete physical exam and sat with his feet up on the desk eating donuts. He has had is license to practice suspended twice now and just completed a five year probation which clearly hasn't helped. Don't take my word for it though. Do a google search for "check a doctors license in California." That will take you to the medical board website. Do a search by practitioner name and click the tab to read the decisions documents. Over fifty pages worth of them, including multiple charges describing the quality of medical care he provides. One of them was sadly involving a patient that died. You've been warned. read more

When i first time came to this doctor's office with a severe headaches that been going on for more than a week the doctor absolutely did not pay any attention to me. He did not do any check ups, any blood pressure check. I should insist on that myself! He was just sitting far away from me and put his legs on his desk. Absolutely ridiculous! Second time u came back to that office (to get and discuss my MRI results) the doctor's assistant on the front desk was extremely rude and looked like she did not want to do her job. I explained that i want to see the doctor because MRI results supposed to come to the doctor already. She did not even bother to check the results and told me that they did not received any and I should call the MRI office myself. I called the office and they told me they sent the results a few days ago already. I came back to that doctor's office and asked to check and find my results. The lady just answered that she got "thoudands of results" on the desks. Why should I know about that? That is her hob to go through the papers! She asked me to come back in 3 hours. She mention that she needs that time to check everything, although the mri office resend them my results again, so they should be on the top. They absolutely doesn't care about their patients health and patients time as well. I will be definitely changing my provider and i am not recommending that office at all! read more

Have been lucky to have Dr Vesco as our family doctor since 1991. Unlike other doctors who have forgotten why they decided to make this a career, Dr Vesco puts his patients first. He truly cares about us! We believe he was born to do this. When others miss the diagnosis, Dr Vesco seems to have not only skill but an intuition. (This can not be taught)... Because of this he saved my sisters life. A friend was down and out, if that wasn't bad enough she got sick with no insurance. Dr Vesco helped her at no charge. That's because he is also a wonderful human being .... Thank you Dr Vesco for making this your life's work. You have made such a difference and we so appreciate you! read more

Wonderful doctor and staff. I changed 2 PCPs before I would actually find a nice one who cares and who's staff is lovely and understanding.

Dr. Vesco is great! He asks the right questions to understand the problem and recommends the most effective treatment to resolve the issue. He is a good listener too, a rare quality these days for doctors. Bottom line, if you're tired of lackluster doctor service and quality, then give Dr, Vesco a try, you will be glad you did. He is tops in my book. read more

My dtr had multiple very serious back issues. She was being treated @ Cedars for a few years she had a few epidurals & lots of pain pills. She was in constant pain, dependent on pain med's & poor quality of life. Dr Vesco suggested stem cell treatment. She went in he took her blood and he said return in a few days. He numbed the area 1st then injected her with her stem cells. Two days later she felt a difference, she ended up having 3 treatments. Today she is pain free and weened off all drugs. read more

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! read more

I totally agree with R. K. & Kristen W. From my experience Dr. Vesco doesn't even deserve 1 star. He is NOT a caring & knowledgeable doctor at all. I took my mom to him as a new patient & he saw her less than 5 minutes! Did not listen to my Mom's complaint. Worst of all he did NOT even examined my mom or anything. Just ordered blood test and if you do not keep calling them you won't get the results. We never went back. I will NEVER recommend this doctor to anyone, ever. read more

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. read more

I came here because I had a painful ear infection. This doctor's office is what I imagine medical practices were probably like back in the 60s, before the advent of HIPAA and proper sanitary procedures. I don't want to leave a bad review because I do believe in supporting private practices, and I feel that this medical center is a convenient local service for those trapped within a 1-mile radius. I'll just report my experience as objectively as possible. I arrived first thing in the morning (they are open 9am-6pm) and there were 2 others who signed in just ahead of me. Dr. Vesco was the only staff in the office, and served as the attending doctor as well as the receptionist. He seemed to be running back and forth a lot. I waited approximately 1 hour to be seen. The lady ahead of me needed some medical report faxed to the office, and I think that held up the doctor a bit. He spent some time calling about it at the reception counter. The waiting room is very small, and the doctor's discussions regarding personal details could be heard by all. By the time I got called in, 4 other people had shown up behind me in the waiting room. It was my first visit to this medical center, but I didn't have to sign any waivers or fill out my medical history or any of that stuff. The exam room is a small room adjacent to the reception area. The doctor asked what was ailing me, and I told him I had an ear infection. He took a quick look in my ears and throat, gave me some ear drops, and that was it. The whole exam took a total of 6 minutes (I checked), and I was charged $92 for the visit. The doctor doesn't bother with fussy things like wearing gloves or taking vitals. I was an adult with an ear infection, so maybe none of that was necessary. I probably would not recommend this medical center for truly urgent care due to the limited staff and unpredictable wait time. Maybe if you've already looked up your ailment on WebMD and just need a prescription written or something. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

I had a stem cell face lift at the clinic about 3 months. I had not read these reviews until today. I could not disagree with some of these reviews more. I found Dr. Vesco to be extremely competent, and his staff incredibly caring. My experience was very professional...and not only that, I am extremely happy with the results from the stem cell face lift. I have recommended him to many of my friends that are interested in anti-aging. read more

I have had knee pain for about a year. Two visits to two doctors that specialize in bones and joints, and I still did not have a solution. When I visited Dr. Vesco he was surprised that no one had ordered an MRI, and gave me a prescription for one immediately (how can anyone know what is going on without one?). He then prescribed an ointment for me that would help with the immediate pain. I am happy to report that cream has worked for me, and I look forward to my next appointment to see what he believes the course of action should be. read more

Just saw Dr Vesco! So easy to get in and out. The gal at the front Galina, was so helpful and friendly to us. Clean spa like office for an urgent care. Dr. Vesco saw my daughter and was very kind and gentle with my shy four year old. Her appt went without a hiccup. He listened to our concerns and we were in and out smoothly. We will def. be back. read more

Dr. Vesco is phenomenal doctor, thorough kind, patient, extremely knowledgable and really caring about his patients. I have been his patient for over 15 years and I will never look for another doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Vesco. He is absolutely AMAZING!!! read more
