Dr. Vargo reviewed my health record, ask and answered a few healthcare questions concerning my lab results. Checked my heart and lung function as per normal annual physical visit. In addition, Dr. Vargo notice that I needed to find a new endocrinologists due to my prior Doctor's departure from JHM. She shared some limited options in the area, inquired about prescription refills needed and ensured I made aware of any future follow-up exams needed.
