April 01, 2013

initial visit was a good experience with all questions answered and noted by Dr. Vargo. Followup was also a very good experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Vargo to anyone with a surgical procedure.

I believe Dr. Vargo to be a great doctor who is very accommodating to my surgery and FMLA needs.

March 08, 2013

This was a bad experience from the Saturday night visit to the ER to the Monday morning surgery follow-up visit. The only good experiences was with a nurse in the ER (can't remember her name) and another ER individual by name of Todd Ashby (he was great).

Dr. Vargo is the finest surgeon I could have ever chosen. I have full confidence in his abilities, and I recommend him to others constantly. This past visit was the best one I have ever had with him as he took the time to explain everything to me in a comprehensive way.

There was no medications involved nor any more follow-up appointments. The doctors were very nice and thorough.

The sx f/u visit was comprehensive: Dr. Vargo was clear, kind, thorough, and a good teacher of the medical student who was present. Exceptional.

October 08, 2012

The care providers were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, concern, and caring

July 25, 2012

I felt the Dr. felt some of my questions were ridiculous. He did not give me any instructions about follow up care, i.e. recuperation time, lifting restrictions, etc.

July 23, 2012

I was very impressed with Dr. Vargo, and he had an excellent bedside manner. I am 100% comfortable with him doing my surgical procedure.

July 09, 2012

Dr. is amazing. I've referred many of my friends to him because of what a wonderful doctor he is.

July 05, 2012

I would recommend Dr. Vargo and his staff to anyone needing this kind of surgery.

January 13, 2012

This visit marked the end of a difficult and complicated surgical procedure that was successfully completed by Dr. Vargo and his staff. No other surgeon in the Salt Lake City area was willing to attempt this surgical task.
