Patient Reviews
Nov 20, 2024
I was in a cycling accident and taken to SMH by rescue in February of 2024. I had broken many ribs, collapsed both lungs and broke my clavicle. Dr Vesco plated my broken ribs (which I had never heard of) in a 4.5 hour surgery. I also had three tubes entering my lungs through my side. Dr Vesco also performed three procedures to empty my lungs of fluid. Dr Vesco was very professional answering all questions asked. He also had great bedside manner and didn’t rush off if I had questions for him. His PA Justin was also fantastic in keeping us informed of everything the procedure entailed. I thank him for recommending the plating of the ribs and saving my life! I am now cycling again. Thank you!
