I appreciate Dr Vargo making a scary diagnosis I had never heard of seem not so scary. He’s an amazing person and is greatly appreciated.

I like Dr Vargo and appreciate his care. I feel well taken care of by his staff. At this appt he seemed rushed I think mostly because his assistant didn’t show up. I wanted to talk more about long term follow up visits since I’m doing well, but due to the constraints I felt on our time, I decided to wait and contact him via message or at the next appointment. I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr Vargo. I believe the stress of this condition has been lessened because I know have a great doctor.

I’m so glad that I went to Dr Vargo. After seeing many other doctors with no results Dr Vargo identified my problem and formulated a plan to address it. After 20 years of searching I am finally getting the results I was hoping for.

I was referred to Dr. Vargo by my dentist for an evaluation of a couple specific issues. Upon examination, Dr. Vargo identified the issues and recommended appropriate action. I felt very confident in Dr. Vargo's diagnoses and his recommended treatments. At all times I felt as though I was in good hands. I recommend Dr. Vargo highly to others.

Dr Vargo is thoughtful in his demeanor (isn’t pushy, explains things well, takes time with me), and is holistic in his approach (understands there are multiple factors influencing the disease and allows me to decide if/when medication is appropriate, cares about the counsel I’m receiving from other partners in managing the disease (dentist, periodontist, ophthalmologist))
