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.

Friendliness isn't competence
Dr. Argo is extremely likeable, but has been uniformly unhelpful and difficult to reach even in the direst of emergency situations. (If you have an emergency, forget about contacting him, even if he caused it. He will send you to an emergency room so they can clean up his mistakes).

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Argo?
Doc Argo corrected my intestines after they wrapped around mesh from my hernia. Life seemed to have been up for me but he believed as well as me getting up and moving around. I was able to have a bm after being placed on NOLAND hall @ DCH. The last Doc Argo saw me, he was in shock of my improvement. I would recommend DOC ARGO to anyone who needs treatment in the areas he specializes in and with.
