I have been a patient of Dr Vargas for over 15 years, I think he deserves all of the positive reviews. I am currently puzzled by the lack of information given to his patient, it seems Sterling Primary group is no more?? I would like to continue my medical relationship with Dr Vargas if he plans on providing it, I would also like to contacted by him or his office, being in limbo with your medical care and needs is not a comfortable position to be in. Please contact me if he is continuing to be an internist or let me know if I need to shop for a new doctor.

Dr. Vargas is one of the best doctors that I have ever had in my 62 years of life! He takes the time to listen to you, help, and treat you in the way, that all doctors should. Never have my husband or I ever felt like we were being rushed in or out of the office, during our visits. He checks you carefully, and really treats you like you are a real person. He is well worth the time that we spend in Nashville traffic, just to see him.

If you are seeking an excellent Primary Care Physician I highly recommend Dr. Kenneth Vargas at Sterling Primary Care at Centennial Hospital. I have been a patient of his for the past 10 years. I have always felt confident under his care. He has great bed-side manners, he is very easy to talk to, very laid back. He is very knowledgeable in his field. If you want a doctor that is committed to helping you and cares about you, I highly recommend giving Dr. Kenneth Vargas a visit.
