I was very fortunate to have found Dr. Paul Vesco. He is an extremely skilled and compassionate surgeon. He was very thorough in explaining the surgery process to me, alleviating my fears. I highly recommend him and his team. Thanks to his PA, Spencer, also for his knowledge, care and compassion.

I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis in March of 2020 CT Scan showed a mass on my thymus gland. Dr Vesco performed a Thymectomy on me in April. OMG , this guy is a Rock Star - he robotically removed my gland along with the mass using only 3 small holes Absolutely no pain , in and out of the hospital in 3 days and walking the beach on the fourth. Don’t bother looking elsewhere ( outside Sarasota ) for a better surgeon , this guy is the real deal. Thank you Dr Vesco , your entire staff and Sarasota Memorial Hospital ????

Dr.Vesco is the total professional, from my first office visit, where he thoroughly explained all of the aspects of the procedure he would perform, to his "bedside manner" after, he couldn't have made me feel more secure.I trusted Dr. Vesco with my life, and reccomend
him without reservation.

After several unsuccessful procedures to correct atrial fibrillation, I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Vesco. Last June, Dr. Vesco put my heart back in rhythm. After 81/2 months I've still got rhythm, I've still got rhythm! I wish there was an adequate way to thank this great doctor for giving me the gift of a longer life!

In February 2019 Dr Vesco removed a large portion of my left lung in order to remove a cancer tumour which was very close to my Aorta. I have no cancer in my body, one year later. I do not need a inhaler and I do Zumba twice a week. My breathing is almost normal. I am delighted with the outcome. Dr Vesco is very informative from day 1. You know exactly what to expect. What high class surgeon.

On this Thanksgiving I have to thank this man for a second chance at life. 5 years ago when all felt like things were not going to work out, Dr Vesco ensured that he could fix the problem and he did. It's people like him who care so deeply about their respective fields that truly make progress in this world. Thanks for everything.

My experience with Dr. Vesco was the best anyone could have. He is compassionate, kind, caring and demands his patients be treated the best they can while in the hospital. He always has time to stop and talk, reassure and share any news he has concerning your health. He has an awesome side of him that can make you laugh, yet take time to listen when you cry. He gave me hope for the future. He is a gentle giant whom I love and admire very much. I would recommend him to anyone.

He will spend as much time with you as needed to understand your disease or surgery and he saw me EVERY day without fail in the hospital! He is so well respected and I feel that he saved my life. Just an awesome human being.
