STAY AWAY PEOPLE, STAY FAR AWAY…read more I've written a detailed description of my encounter below but if you don't feel like reading, know that this Doctor has another yelp location that has been reported closed in which the reviews speak for themselves. When your appointment is at 11:45 and it's 12:30 and no one has said anything or come to check on you....... I came in for iv hydration to help nip this cold I have in the bud. This place had good reviews, was open and able to fit me in on short notice. Service from the front office staff was subpar. If the treatment is going to start late or the doctor is delayed, you need to communicate that with the patient, not just keep them waiting while you whisper outside to try and figure things out. Seriously biggest pet peeve ever! But that's not all. Tech inserts iv, all is well until she tapes it down and turns to accidentally yank out my iv!! Oh not to mention she blames ME for moving when she was the one who turned and pulled it out. Are you f'in kidding?! 2nd try, no good. 3rd try, Dr. FINALLY comes in, wiggles the needle around - OUCH!!! Dr. Yanks it out. They talk about my veins and how small they are bc I'm dehydrated. Try's another vein, nope. Moves to other arm, and tries another vein. nope. All the while the tech keeps saying how she had the first vein and I moved and it came out. NO, you turned and pulled it out. B*TCH. Dr. Moves back to other arm, obviously flustered she doesn't take note of the anxiety attack I'm having from being poked (couldn't breathe, pale, lips loosing color), and sticks me and says it's good to go. I tell them it hurts a bit and she says it's fine, so they leave me. 10 minutes in, I look down at my arm to find a SWOLLEN arm, that hurts to touch. I call them in and they frantically turn the nob to stop. They tell me my vein probably ripped and the fluid got in my bloodstream. Didn't take blame that I told them it was hurting and that maybe it was their fault in the first place for sticking it in the wrong place. They refunded my money, and I left still sick and with a swollen hurting arm. Stay far away!!!

This positive review is long overdue and well deserved! Dr. Lisa A. Hudson, is a wonderful and…read morecaring doctor and has handled my medical care for well over 25 years! I can not imagine having a more personable experience with such a kind hearted, knowledgeable and patient physician! Dr. Hudson was able to diagnose and prevent some serious issues with me over the years of which I am in her debt of gratitude! Dr. Hudson is always consistent to discuss good healthy eating habits and exercise on most visits. She always inquired on how things were going personally in my life and would offer useful advice. My office visits never felt rushed and I actually felt like she spent more time with me, if she felt it necessary. I think Dr. Hudson really cares about people and wants only the best for her patients. Please indulge me and allow me to expand on just a few of my experiences with Dr. Hudson over the last 25 plus years of her being MY doctor! For example, the year my mother passed away in 2001, she was extremely kind and very patient with me by allowing me to express my grief, without rushing me, in my appointments, during that difficult year. I am sure some of my appointment times went over the allotted time frame, but she always seemed to know what was important and needed. Dr. Hudson was a VERY busy woman, in her Walnut Creek office at that time, with a full waiting room of patients, yet she made the time to help me cope with my loss. Another example is when I lost my medical insurance for a period of time, Dr. Hudson was so gracious and worked with me and gave me discounted visits to enable me to continue seeing her and still receive excellent services. Also, she did NOT skimp on those visits, either, as she still provided the same high quality level of care! During that time, I would request basic short office visits, to help minimize my cost, but I feel she did extra services because she knew it was important, at no additional charge. She always tried to give me advice on places to get labs and tests at a lower cost, when possible, too. I can't thank her enough for her kindness and generosity as she really helped me financially. It was a bit disheartening to read some of the negative comments regarding Dr. Hudson, as that has absolutely NOT been my experience with her at all! She is a good, decent human being and an expert in her field and I think she only wants the best for her patients! Dr. Hudson is also a Fellow of the American College Of Physicians, which Fellows are considered a distinguished group of doctors dedicated to teaching, research as well as medical practice! She is always well versed on current medical matters and procedures and I feel that I am in VERY capable hands and have full confidence in her abilities to keep me healthy as she has done all these years! I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Dr. Hudson is great for being able to make same-day appointments during regular M-F business hours…read more If you don't typically require care after normal business hours, don't travel frequently and don't need a specialist, you might be happy with Dr. Hudson. Unfortunately, I've had two occasions when I've needed to see a doctor and I didn't time my sickness during a M-F business hour. Dr. Hudson has no after-hours call service, so if you need attention after hours, you will be directed to an urgent care center or the emergency room if it's after-hours for urgent care (which is even more upsetting that a patient's only option is to head to the emergency room - since emergency rooms are already overfilled and the staff has much more important things to attend to than someone who just requires an antibiotic!). Dr. Hudson also won't call in a prescription for anything without seeing you in person first. So, if you have a recurring medical issue which she's previously seen you in the past and all you need is an antibiotic called in for you - she won't do it. I might otherwise be fine with this policy, however, on the most recent occasion I was traveling and unable to get to her office until later in the week. The receptionist indicated no exceptions can be made to this policy. Once again: my only choice was to head to a local urgent care office or emergency room. My other frustration with Dr. Hudson as my primary (which she is no longer - because I need a primary doctor that I can actually reach after hours and who will be able to prescribe an antibiotic for a recurring medical issue when I am traveling) is that she comes across as knowing most everything. She purports to be a sports doctor (in addition to everything else), so on a recent visit I had her take a look at a lump on the back of my leg. She diagnosed it as some sort of cyst or other "common" mass that she could take care of in her office. Luckily, I already had an appointment scheduled with a knee specialist - and it turned out I had a tumor on the nerve that required surgery (with the assistance from a spinal doctor due to the location on the nerve!). I've had relationships with many doctors in my 1/2 century - and other than Dr. Hudson, I have always been able to reach my primary doctor after hours and have never had an issue with obtaining an antibiotic for a recurring medical issue. Although I haven't found another primary doctor yet - I will happily visit my local urgent care before giving any more of my business to Dr. Hudson!

Karin D's review in 2020 was what I based my selection of Liana Vesga, MD on and Doctor Vesga did not disappoint but rather went far beyond what was written in the prior reviews. Doctor Vesga was amazing. She was beaming positivity, assurance, compassion, concerned you are feeling at ease and assured all will be well. I was scheduled to see a male doctor, but I wanted a female doctor. Doctor Vesga gave me that maternal covering I was looking for. (No one takes care of you like a Mother) The Oakland Building is a Beautiful Location! ** So here is my experience ** * The Lemon Lime Drink wasn't bad. There must have been some changes with the pre-drink because most comments said it was horrible. I found that playing a game of " How Fast Can You Drink It" got the drink down. I chased it with Sparkling Mineral Water. The bubbly helped. ** Stay close to the bathroom and tell your family members to use the bathroom and get out quickly please. It really processes quickly through your system in a hour. No Joke!! * I have fasted before and took on that mind set when it came to no eating. I did drink chicken broth. I did chew on a piece of steak and savored the flavor and spit out the meat. It worked for me.. Jedi Mind Trick ** After getting into my gown, I began to breath deeply to relax myself. (one lady next to me was so nervous, she gave up her breakfast) * There was a lot of activity at this location. No waiting. The nurse was very nice and with ease put in the IV port. ** The needle is small and fine, a very light poke is all I felt. I was then rolled into the room for the procedure. The nurse who monitored my vital was rubbing my arm to calm me because of my pressure number (176). I told her it was the moment for the elevated number. It worked.. my last look at it was 146. All the staff was very pleasant. Very focused on what is to be done. Not a lot of talking. That was impressive to me. * Doctor Vesga walked in the room saying ... "There she is" " We are doing a Colonoscope and a Endoscopy" "I am going to have you bite on this bite guard put this around you ears" ..... and the next thing I was hearing my name and I was awake and feeling great. Not dizzy, Not sick, Not sleepy. Very much alert and speaking clearly. ** I asked if I could go to the bathroom and while walking I side stepped a little bit but the nurse had me be the arm. * I got dressed and wanted to use the bathroom once more for the ride home. I waited in the lobby for my daughter to pick me up and that was it. The End Very please to have had a great experience to share for this year of May 2022 The next morning, I had a little sore throat. So I gurgled with baking soda and ate soup for a few days. I did have some mild stomach irritation. I felt nothing when sitting down and resumed back to business as usual by Tuesday. My procedure was during the Fourth of July Holiday. Dr. L. Vesga is a gem!

She called me directly to report normal lab results at 6pm a few weeks later. She created a plan of action in case pain comes back.
