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 agree with patient bullying. Doesn't listen. Has her own agenda. Asked her to consult with my other Dr's as I have liver disease. Never will takes me off medication prescribed by specialist. Doesn't address true issues. Now I'm under care of new Dr's. Been in hospital several times due to inappropriate care from her.

I have to completely agree with the review about bullying and belittling. I had the same experience and left hoping she doesn't do that to her family.

Horrific! Dr. Argo does not care about her patients. She only belittles and bullies you with repeatedly asking you how something makes you feel. She constantly changes your normal response into something negative. You will go into the office visit feeling decent about yourself and leave feeling depressed and in tears. My gynecologist gives a much more thorough physical and actually cares about my overall health, but not Dr. Argo! Dr. Argo’s advice for weight loss was a menopausal pod cast and to avoid alcohol and tobacco. I’m 43. I’ve never smoked and haven’t had a drink of alcoholic beverages in over 10 years. Clearly, not the best medical advice by Dr. Argo or any usable advice that pertained to my lifestyle.

After 4 wellness visits over 18 months in hope of establishing a professional relationship for old age medical care, I am DISAPPOINTED! SUMRY: Shows no interest in patient customer does not explain, answers no questions, impatient & condescending; quick to refer to another St Mary's Dr. for tests (referral bonus?) but never gives you test results and quicker to get you out after tapping your insurance. Dr. billed Blue Cross $1,082 referred tests billed Blue Cross $3,547. Results 0. Dr. finally said "white coat syndrome" First visit, first working words from assistant, "HOW LONG YOU HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?" Last words with Dr. I say, "My ankles swell". Dr. "Why do you think that is?" me, "I don't know, summer heat?" Dr. "Pick up a blood pressure log on your way out". Again after saying "white coat syndrome"! The aid diagnosed high BP and Dr. went with it, to extreme; ignoring all else. Waste of Blue Cross money; should refund Blue Cross. Of course "individual results may vary"

Dr Argo is very caring and attentive. She got started on getting to the bottom of my medical problems right away, unlike my former Dr.
