Dr. VESCO, literally saved my life! I arrived at SMH in pretty critical condition, with a collapsed lung and empiemia (Lung infection), and in cardiac trouble. Dr. VESCO took me into the OR and did a difficult Robotic lung surgery and saved my life. After surgery, DR VESCO followed my recovery very carefully. He is an amazing surgeon, intelligent, skilled and compassionate. I would recomend Dr. Vesco to family and/or any one who needs cardiovascular care. I am grateful to, and absolutely love this Doctor!!!

Dr. Vesco preformed a procedure on my wife Marilyn on an emergency sternal wires removal. Dr. Vesco is an incredible surgeon. He is kind, understanding and of an amazing intellect. His compassion for his patients is second to none. We can't think of a better surgeon anywhere. We cannot begin to thank Dr. Vesco for his personal attention in the care of Marilyn and his constant attention to her family. Dr. Vesco saved her life and will always be remembered never to be forgotten. Thank You so much Dr. Vesco.

Dr. Vesco is very knowledgeable and a great surgeon. I would highly recommend him. He takes time to talk and explain things to you and is more than happy to answer all questions. He would definitely be my choice if I needed more surgery.

I trust Dr. Vesco very much. He is very honest when it comes to what he thinks and doesn't beat around the bush. He is an amazing doctor and is very education in his practice. If he wasn't for him my husband would not be alive today.
