Meet Dr. Vargo
Dr. Ethan Vargo is a urologic surgeon specializing in endourologic surgery and urologic cancers.
He has expertise in treating kidney cancer, prostate cancer, kidney stones, and kidney masses.
Dr. Vargo earned his medical degree from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed general urology residency training at Cleveland Clinic Akron General and a minimally invasive endourology fellowship at WashU Medicine.
I hope to serve as both a leader and an educator—for trainees and patients alike. I pride myself on going the extra mile, and I hope to continue with this practice at WashU. The camaraderie within our urology team is palpable. Everyone in our group truly wants to do the right thing for the patient.
