About Vet

My experience with Vetster featured on the Vetster blog: https://vetster.com/en/blog/for-vets/vet-spotlight-dr-levisman-is-a-true-vetster-star-with-1500-vetster-reviews-and-counting

I have 20+ years of experience in veterinary medicine (general practice, emergencies and specialties), working at veterinary hospitals, centers and clinics all over the Los Angeles area (and other countries too).
My specialties are general medicine and nephrology (kidneys and urinary tract) and I am currently pursuing my board certification in Internal Medicine.

My professional career has been quite a journey. I got my Veterinary degree in 2004 from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. I then decided I wanted to move to the States, but applying (and getting) a working visa back in those days was not an easy task. After finally finding a sponsorship and three attempts later, I was able to relocate to Los Angeles, CA. In order to live and study for my USA/CA license, I worked as a technician while passing my exams. Finally, in 2012, I officially became a DVM in the USA! But..(there's always a but) my working visa only allowed me to work as a tech. At the same time, I met my future wife (Argie too). We decided to move back temporarily to Argentina in order to obtain our Green Cards. We spent three years down there, obtained our Green Cards and once again (this time for good) we settled in Los Angeles. Since then, I've been practicing Veterinary Medicine in small animals as an associate doctor, along with one of the most well-known veterinarians in Los Angeles (also on the side, working as a relief Vet).

Current regulations regarding the VCPR (Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship), only allow me to prescribe medications to patients residing in CA. Therefore, only Telehealth advice and suggestions for OTC medication are possible for non-CA patients.

From beginning to end, the doctor spoke to me with kindness patient compassion. Unfortunately, this severity of my dogs situation is life altering, and the news wasn’t good, but the doctor provided different scenarios options and gave me a good understanding of what exactly is going on. I’m so thankful.

Dr. Levisman saw beyond the surface of what is going on with my cat. He explained the situation with clarity and understanding, and helped me to see the underlying possibilities of what was causing her current conditions. For this I am so grateful because now I have the information to move forward to getting my cat well and back on track. I highly recommend Dr. Levisman for cat care and for complete knowledge and compassionate care. I am truly grateful for his help.
