He is very kind and patient as well. From the first meeting he was positive he could help even though there were some issues in the way. Thank you sooo very much!!

Dr Vargo was so kind and caring. Any surgery is scary, but having a complex case is terrifying. Dr Vargo made me feel that I was safe, and that the surgery would go well.

Doctor is excellent! I am happy to refer others to him!

As our daughter accompanied me to make sure I had a good understanding of what to expect from said my evaluation & expected surgery; and she has been in the healthcare industry said, Dr. Vargo was so nice and kind, friendly in a gentle manner, far above that of most surgeons; and I agree, his bedside manner was so good; and he answered our questions & concerns to our understanding & satisfaction. We were early for my appointment and once his nurse took my vitals he came in and spoke with us, examined me and evaluated my condition, explained the situation & why; explained what had happened, what the next steps were, the length of the surgery, the working with his Nurse/Scheduler of his availability, the timeline for recovery, & answering what my expectations might be.

I loved his personality; he's very professional and kind. I feel safe with him. [TRANSLATED]

Dr Vargo is kind and was able to explain my questions in great detail

I was seen by a physician assistant and Dr Leonard. The visit was very professional and informative.

Excellent rapport unlike other doctors I've sought help from also in the U of U Health system.

I have full convinced in Dr Vargo's complex hernia expertise. My hernia repair and treatment was successful..

I was so uplifted by my visit & can't wait till we meet again for my surgery planning & visit. Very kind Dr & answered me & talked with me like I was important which meant a lot to me. Thank u Dr. Vargo

I was barely introduced to Dr. Vargo. He never examined me only his trainee. So I cannot tell you anything about him.

A very caring Dr. He took the time we needed to understand the course of treatment.

I felt Dr Vargas was very knowledgeable and kind. He answered all my questions and did not seem rushed or hurried. I would highly recommend him.

Very impressed with Dr. Vargo's professionalism and friendliness.

Dr. Vargo was very thorough in his explanation of the problem and his recommendations for treatment. all of my questions were answered in a complete, patient manner.

Dr was very clear on how procedure would occur

Dr Vargo was fantastic! It was the nurse practitioner that I didn't care for her attitude!!!!

Very knowledgeable. Able to discuss problem and provide concise but clear recommendations.

Dr. Vargo is the top surgeon and has made my case top priority in finding high quality surgeons for me ASAP as he is unavailable for several weeks. He said he would not recommend them if they could not give the same quality of care that he would give.

Very thoughtful and thorough in finding the best way to perform the surgery

Dr. Vargo was amazing, kind, explained things well and answered questions. Left feeling comfortable about the surgery. Tammy

Thank you for your patience in my questions and concerns. Thank you for getting on top of proper technique and applications to repair my injuries!

Dr Vargo was very professional but very kind and reassuring.

All good.

Not sure- seemed like I was encouraged to choose surgery but I was there to find out if I really have a hernia that needs surgery. I only met Dr. Varga briefly & he never examined me. Only the resident with a nurse looked at me. Now I worry that I'm going into surgery on a young resident's recommendation. I hope he doesn't plan on doing the surgery. I only want Dr. Vargo To make the decisions & do the surger

Dr Vargo came highly recommended. He explained everything in great detail, and answered all my questions, even the dumb ones. I feel like he didn't judge me or my situation.

The only glitch was a little gal who is learning to be a doctor told us to keep doing what we doing. That was the last thing we wanted to hear. It wasn't working! After 45 minutes she came back with Dr. Vargo and "we have decided the mesh needs to be removed." That's what we came to hear.

I would have liked to have had the doctor go through the information and exam. The PA spent sufficient time with me and was good, but I would have preferred to have had the doctor.

Both fellow and faculty were professional, pleasant and listed multiple options when appropriate

I was not told to stop taking Oxycodone. I have been taking Tramadol and hope that is okay?Also, the clinic notes state that he discussed the possibility of incarceration/strangulation. He did not tell me what I need to watch for and do if that happens.

I do not feel like I was heard. I left feeling like it was a complete waste of time and money for all.

Dr Vargo was patient, understanding, thorough, highly skilled, and easy to talk to. I left with a very high degree of confidence in his care.

Very personable. Was straightforward discussing the rarity of my problem.

I feel confident being under Dr. Vargo's care. He listens and explains well.

Dr Vargo really knows how to care for me in all ways. He has been very kind and knowledgeable from the very first time I met him Thank you so much Dr Vargo.

Surgeon seemed a bit brusque, as if I had annoyed him or was wasting his time. In just about 3 minutes just said he couldn't help me and to be satisfied to live with the problem. He's certainly an authority, but he had no advice for what to do or not do to keep the problem from getting worse. This was a major concern for me but I simply felt "dismissed."

Excellent

Dr. Vargo was terrific!

Dr. Vargo was patient and thorough in his explanation of my problems and answers to my questions.

listened to me, explained my options and treatment. I felt like they were taking time to hear me and not rush back out the door.

Dr. Vargo is kind, gentle, and personable. He explained things about my condition in a way that made it easy to understand. He drew pictures on a white board to illustrate what is going on and to explained his thought process on how he came to the diagnosis. He was very patiently answered my many questions in a kind and reassuring manner. I appreciated that even though he is a surgeon, he recommended I try a non surgical option for treatment first. By doing this I felt that he truly cared about my well being and made sure I had access to the best care possible for my diagnosis.

Clarified my concerns and answered my questions.

Dr. Vargo is great I am looking forward to having him do my surgery. I feel he listened and explained everything about my surgery.

Caring and straight forward. Assured me my surgery could be done safely and explained where I need to be physically for this to happen.

Dr Vargo addressed my issues with care and made available all options for my care

After my visit & consultation I'm feeling Confident being under his care along with the staff

Very personable and knowledgeable.

DR. Vargo is a true knowledgeable expert in his field of expertise, and I should never have taken my medical needs to a place that was closer to my home and the U of U hospital, and its clinics are a lot further and out of my way to travel to but very well worth the time and effort to go there given their advanced medical practices. sincerely [NAME REMOVED].

I feel like Dr Vargo is a great surgeon; however I felt somewhat uncomfortable during the follow up appointment. I am happy my care with him has concluded. If I needed him as a doctor for additional care I would seek another physician.

Dr. Vargo is the pillar of his field. Very compassionate. He explains your health issues and his plan to mitigate them so you can understand. He involves you in the plan. He's the best of the best!

"Professor" DR. D.J. Vargo is without any doubt the very best in his field of surgery, and I thank you for all that you have ever done for me, AD.

He made me feel comfortable.

This is my 2nd trip to consult with Dr.Vargo regarding possible surgery. After being turned away by my two local surgical teams that told me they could not help me, my PCP sent a referral to Dr Vargo for help. I was able to get to Utah and after my consult, Dr Vargo will be doing surgery for me. He was very willing to hear me out and said he would do his best to take care of my.problem.

Although I was an hour late having traveled three hours to the appointment, Dr. Vargo and his staff were understanding and kind. He listened attentively and was sure to go over my cat scan slowly explaining in terminology we could understand. Dr. Vargo was courteous letting me think about my options and was thoughtful to explain pros and cons of a much needed surgery.
