    Dr Vargas and his nurse Stacy are amazing. I am always at ease with both of them and I so appreciate how they take care of me. I'm so very blessed to have Dr. Vargas taking care of me. I will and do recommend him to others. He is a great asset to the UNMC team.

    Dr. Vargas and Dr. Singh both stepped in the room to discuss the procedure that was done for me in March. They are excellent! My appointment was with Dr. Vargus and he did an excellent job of discussing the outcome. He is so very good to work with! He always explains things very well and listens when we ask questions. The entire staff at UNMC is just great.

    It was a referral visit, but I felt like he was not prepared and did not know my situation.

    I would recommend this clinic to everyone. I walked in distressed and depressed. I walked out and had my Faith Hope and Beliefs back in place. I am much stronger now than I have been in months. Thank you so much.

    Dr. Vargas has been so good to me. He is such a kind, gentle natured man that I trust completely with my health treatment. I also appreciate Kim and Stacy so much. It is so nice to have their numbers to call when I have concerns and they are always so quick to get answers or take my concerns to Dr. Vargas. I am so thankful I was led to UNMC for my cancer treatment.
