Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very satisfied.

Don’t waste your time
After two visits I can’t say if Wargo cares about helping patients at all. I know is bedside manner is non-existent. He was rude, short and dismissive and the office staff is incompetent. Can’t say whether Wargo is or not as he was unable to provide me any medical, mostly due to his staff but also due to fact that he just didn’t seem to want to bother

Dr. Wargo was very kind from the start. He was also on time, which is rare with most physicians today. When I provided him an overview of my situation, including my pain and the history of the pain escalation, he actually listened and then offered his own medical opinions, supported by knowledge and experience. He was empathetic and sensitive and began a plan to help me get to the source of my pain. In other words, he didn't just offer medication to mask the symptoms -- but a plan to hopefully alleviate and possibly eradicate my problem altogether. This gave me hope I hadn't had in a very long time.

There has been no other doctor who has treated my pain like Dr. Wargo. He listened as I shared my story, and was attentive to my opinions on what worked for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Wargo!
