Dr. Michael M Vesali

I've been to Dr Vesali a few times (I'm not going to get into specifics). The first time I felt heard and like I was finally going to get help, only to be completely dismissed when a set of symptoms became worrying. I'm currently looking to see if I can find a different neurologist.

I have seen Dr Vesalia twice, the second time with an APRN. They were both very personable, respectful, helpful and concerned. Dr. took adequate time to examine me thoroughly, and was able to refer to his previous notes. I would definitely recommend him!

He doesn’t have an attitude and bedside manner of a Dr, solely passed the medical school without any knowledge as how to deal with people.

This morning I had an appointment with Dr. Michael M Vesali (sleep neurologist). He was the worst Dr. I have ever been to. Inattentive, dismissive, kept asking the same questions after he had just asked them as if he hadn't been listening. He kept rambling on about aging and the benefits of meditation. He was very much checked out. (All of Dr. Vesali's online reviews are AWFUL. I don't understand why some people become Dr.s)

This doctor and his nurse have zero bedside manner. Cold, rude. Make the patient and family feel like intrusions in their busy day!! Instead of answering questions or providing information he directed us to websites!!

After reading reviews about Dr. Vesali, we purposed to go into my husbands Dr. appointment open minded. We were pleasantly surprised with our time with him. He was very pleasant, informative, and encouraged us with different options. Also, he used analogies to help better understand my husbands situation. We appreciated his way of communication!

Dr. Michael M. Vesali has poor communication skills. He had trouble finding words to communicate with during a follow up appointment. After stuttering around what he did say was not clear. When asked if he could provide an example his reaction was similar to someone who was unprepared and lacked confidence. He appeared to be rattled. His response was delivered in an unprofessional and extremely rude manner. Working in a laboratory would be a better fit than seeing patients.

I was transferred by my good neurolgist to Dr Vesali. I was in SEVERE pain and all he would say is if you get more sleep you won't hurt. I would reply that if I wasn't in such severe pain I would love to sleep. After about 2 months I decided I needed another neurologist that I waited 4 months for. He immediately gave me relief and I am sleeping. On a scale of 1-10 I was way past 10. I was suicidal so Vesali sent the police to make sure I was alive....but he wouldn't give me pain relief. He said I was anxious and needed a social worker. I replied that I was already seeing a therapist. She also thought he was nuts too. I am now on special form of gabapentin and the wonderful new Dr is going to try an experimental non medication form of treatment that I am anxious to use. My pain level never gets above 5 now. Dr Vesali is the one that needs a therapist, Saint Lukes and Neurology practice need to realize how he is treating patients. I've read other reviews saying the same things.

I have been seeing Dr. Vesali for almost 2 years. He has a subtle sense of humor, and is very direct and to the point. His goal is to help you with your diagnosis, but because sleep science is so complex, he has to ask 8 million questions to get to the root of the issue. My first visit I tried to rationalize my behaviors and problems. He bluntly told me, "No excuses. I can't help you if you don't listen and only make excuses. You have to promise to follow my recommendations for 3 months, and see what difference it makes. This won't go away overnight." He was right. He also referred me to another provider who could assist with my stress and anxiety. If you want someone to vent to, Dr. Vesali is not for you. If you want someone who can diagnose you and then guide you down the right path, he is wonderful. Be prepared to listen, and keep an open mind, and answer all the questions honestly without making excuses.

I read the reviews above but I found him to be kind, with a sly sense of humor and listening to my issues. I would recommend him, though I sure don't want to go through that test again!

Dr. Vesali is thoughtful, thorough and compassionate.

I don't think he actually listened to any of our issues. No bedside manner, very little eye contact and abrupt. Sadly, this visit was pretty much a waste of our time.

Dr Vesali had very little bedside manner. He didn’t seem to have a good grasp of my issue nor did I feel confident in his ability to treat and diagnose me. Despite that I went ahead to complete a sleep study just to get it over with. It’s been over a month and after almost $400 with insurance, I still have not gotten results of my sleep study. Tried calling the office and his voicemail is disconnected. Would not recommend.

Dr Vesali is the WORST Neurologist I have ever seen! I waited a month for my appointment with him and my entire appointment didn’t feel like I was being seen by a provider…It was more like I was being interrogated. This doctor would agree to this comment as well because he kept mentioning how I probably felt like I was being interrogated because I am and that is his job. His job is to be a good, caring, patient doctor that was suppose to be performing a new patient medical evaluation that I was referred to (not to Dr. Vesali, but to St Luke’s-I was just scheduled with him unfortunately) by my Neuro Surgeon. My Neuro Surgeon referred me to a Neurologist because he believes there is more going on with me than what I’ve already been diagnosed with, so he ordered me a Brain MRI. When I went to see Dr. Vesali he had me so upset and crying it was so hard to answer the questions because he wouldn’t take my answers I would give, he wanted to twist them around. I asked him if he had read all my medical records from ALL my other doctors and he said he looked over them, but I was there for a 2nd opinion. I said no I’m not I’m hear for you to read my Brain MRI report that I had done a month ago and his response to me was…I DON’T KNOW HOW TO READ RADIOLODY. I was floored! At the end of my appointment he said,”Nice to meet you, I hope you find out what is going on, you’re 100% normal to me. IF YOU HAVE CHRONIC PAIN LIKE ME AND ARE NEEDING ANSWERS TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR HEALTH…DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING TO DR. VESALI BECAUSE YOU WONT GET ANY ANSWERS! If you do see him and get your answers and diagnose, you are lucky because I have yet found a doctor to help me. Dr Vesali is the WORST Neurologist I have ever seen! I waited a month for my appointment with him and my entire appointment didn’t feel like I was being seen by a provider…It was more like I was being interrogated. This doctor would agree … More

I have been trying to get my return visit scheduled for months and they have cancelled two and I had to cancel one...not sure what is going on.

Dr. Vesali didn't really address other potential options for my ailment. He was very abrupt, not personable, didn't feel like he understood how i felt. Focused on things that didn't pertain to the reason I had the appt. My internist recommended. I won't go back and will look for another neurologist.

Very abrupt and doesn't make eye contact often. If anyone looks for personality and a good bedside manner, I wouldn't recommend Dr. Vesali. Felt interrogated and it was challenging to communicate my feelings, unfortunately I won't be back.
