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.

Exceptional urologist
Treated me for BPH issues for over 20 years. I had 2 TURPs and a Rezum. All went well and the procedures worked. He was a very empathetic Doctor and demonstrated great concern for his patients. I wish he still practiced in my area.

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).

After being in the ER for extreme pain I went to Dr. Vara for suspected kidney stones. He was totally dismissive of my complaints. He said I was just a female with anxiety. So I got no real diagnosis and was also humiliated.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Vara?
No true clinical assessment based on symptoms. RX given without assessing test results. Redundant tests done using scare tactic. Not caring enough to even read test results & quick to push procedures without knowing patient's history and possible risks and outcomes! Only 5 minutes spent with patient. 25 minutes spent on tracking test results while you wait in the room! Unorganized office. Very rude staff! Not to be trusted at all!! Knowledgeable & caring physicians are rare breeds nowadays! Sad.
