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.

Beware
This guy is an absolute clown. Dealt with pain after surgery for weeks until I finally decided to go to another local orthopedic. Took him about 15 minutes to figure out what was going on. If you enjoy pain and suffering, this is your guy.

Missed a big issue
Dr Argo did not notice that I had a hairline fracture of my tibia. He consistently recommended treatment that would not have addressed it. Glad I got a second opinion after 2 years of pain.

I liked Dr. Argo until after my surgery. I was having pain after I had my labrum repaired by him and he discharged me even with the severe pain. He hadn’t even read my PT note stating that my physical therapist was concerned about it. I should also add that it is crap shoot to whether or not they will be on time. My last appointment they were 55 minutes behind schedule.

Suffered an injury in my leg due to running. After multiple appointments Dr. Argo simply said "I don't know what's wrong" and told me I could continue running. I went to see a new doctor at a different hospital and found out that if I had continued running, my leg would have permanent nerve damage and would have had to be amputated. Would not recommend.

Genuinely friendly, down to earth M.D., who is very easy to talk to. After the MRI on my knee, he could have been mercenary and told me I needed surgery, but he offered me the most conservative, less expensive treatment options, saving surgery as a last resort. Would highly recommend!

Dr. Argo is terrible at dealing with the patient after his staff burns into a boys arm while removing a cast. Beacon claims they put the patient first. Just check out their Website CEO Adam Blankenmeyer even says so. But when they burn into your child's arm with the cast saw you will need to force an apology and demand that you don't get charged for the abuse. Dr Argo's level of concern for the patient amounted to you better put some ointment on that so it won't scar.

The office is run like a well oiled machine, but still seems to provide personal care. My experience was excellent.

Great bedside manner and top quality staff. He provided me with some treatment options the other doctors I saw hadn't heard of. Dr. Argo and his team are amazing and I am so grateful to have full functionality of my knees back again!

My PCP recommended that I see Dr. Argo. I made the appointment; had all paperwork requested plus medical CD with me; arrived on time; & waited; & waited; & waited! After an hour, I asked the office clerk how soon it would be before I would be seen. She replied that there were only 2 other patients ahead of me. I had seen several patients taken in to exam rooms who had arrived AFTER I had. I waited another 15 min.; asked for my records and left. I will NOT return.
