Dr. Anthony Richard Vara, MD

Dr. Vara is a horrible doctor. Not knowledgeable, very dismissive to patients, and is always running behind. From the beginning Dr. Vara did not see the urgency or seriousness of my husbands concerns/pain but Due to his earlier availability we went to him for my husbands orchiectomy. Dr. Vara did not brief him on steps to take before an orchiectomy like sperm banking. (This was our first time dealing with anything like this and only later on after we switched doctors were we told what we should have done). Now when my husband is having post op issues Dr. Vara disregards them and fails to listen to his concerns post surgery. Dr. Vara doesn’t believe these issue are related to surgery and won’t help find solutions to them. At the office there is always a 45 minute (or longer) wait past the scheduled appointment time! For the follow up appointment after surgery he didn’t even look at the incision site. Just asked questions! (Something that could’ve been done with a virtual call).

During the first visit Dr. Vara was great. He knew how to improve my condition. The second visit was good too and we were on the right track. Dr. Vara gave ma a prescription. After three moths I went to see him again and talk about my diagnosis and results of the treatment. Dr. Vara was very surprised that he gave me the treatment as it worsened my condition. Now i am not sure whether Dr. Vara know /remembered why i actually came to visit him. I would not recommend this doctor.

I was new to the area 20+ years ago and Fairfax Hospital recommended Dr Vara for a kidney issue. I knew I was in good hands with Dr Vara. He performed several procedures and an operation. I have been pain free after all these years. I have recommended Dr. Vara numerous times. There is no finer doctor.
