5.0 star star star star starThe man is the best doctor I’ve ever seen in my 60 years of life he’s so thorough he does not rush you. He asked more than enough questions about all aspects of your health and thoroughly explains them so you can understand them. I would not think of going to any other doctor . He was recommended to me by a friend from work would been her family doctor, his whole life, and he was just how he described him to be.

5.0 star star star star starDr Vargas is the most knowledgeable and most caring doctor I have ever had! He is thorough in everything he does, how he explains things, what his thought process is, what steps need to be done, etc to keep me healthy and active! All of my family sees him, and he is loved and respected by all! He goes above and beyond if anything is urgent and even hops on a telehealth call when he is not feeling well himself! He is dedicated and he is kind; he has a positive demeanor, and cares about each patient as if we are the only ones he has! I am so thankful

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
