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.

I have been seeing Dr. Vargas for over 10 years now and back in 2009, he helped save my life by helping to discover a 7.5cm aortic aneurysm in the top of my heart. I would not be alive if it were not for Dr. Vargas.

I am not a big believer in medicine by prescription pad and I had experiences in the past with Internists who were all about those prescriptions. I needed a new internist and chose Dr. Vargas by his excellent recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised how easy he was to talk to about my lifestyle and how observant, non judgmental and incredibly thorough he was. I have already recommended him to my husband and I would highly recommend him to others.
