The Team
Who We Are
Dr. Vargo
Board Certified Dermatologist
I am so excited to welcome you to West Omaha Dermatology! As an Elkhorn native, it is bittersweet to return to the community I grew up around to open a business I’ve dreamed about for years. It is here that I hope to provide care for my patients as if they were my own family, so welcome!
A little about the journey it took to get me where I am today. After graduating high school from Elkhorn High (there was only one back then), I moved to Atlanta, Georgia to attend Emory University. Following college, I returned home to attend medical school at UNMC as a Regents Scholar before heading to Kansas City for my dermatology residency. This is where I met my husband, who is a pediatric plastic surgeon here at Children’s Nebraska. We’ve made a few pit stops along the way but have finally been able to plant our roots for good!
Outside of clinic, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two (soon to be three) sweet little girls. Our house is currently a constant explosion of dancing, Disney music, rainbows, and unicorns (with the occasional dinosaur thrown in there). For me the perfect end to any day is a big scoop of ice cream with hot fudge!
I don’t think I could possibly give a favorite skincare product as there are just a few staples for me: sunscreen, tretinoin, vitamin C, Botox and Latisse (these are a few of my favorite things)!
Cassi
Office Manager
Hi, my name is Cassi and I am the office manager at West Omaha Dermatology. I was born and raised in Elkhorn, Nebraska in the same household as Dr. Vargo (yes, we are sisters). I completed my undergraduate education at UNL, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. I also completed my PharmD at UNMC and have been a pharmacist since graduating in 2008. I have had many adventures in life but am most excited for this new adventure helping my sister to achieve her dream!
At home, I have 3 busy children ages 15,13 and 8. I spend my time outside of work running children to dance, soccer and band events. We enjoy travel and spend many weekends at out-of-town competitions and tournaments. Our favorite family travel destination is Italy and we try to visit as often as possible.
My favorite skin care products in my daily routine are Vitamin C serum every morning and tretinoin before bed. Sunscreen favorites for my busy family include EltaMD AOX spray and EltaMD UV Sport Stick.
Hope to see you in the clinic soon!
Emma
Licensed Practical Nurse
Hello! My name is Emma and I have been a nurse for 16 years but have been in dermatology for 9 years now!!! I took a little break from derm but quickly realized this is my happy place!
I was born in England but have spent most of my life here in Nebraska! I grew up in Papillion but have lived in West Omaha most of my adult life! My husband and I have two beautiful kids, Kinley and Kash. In the summer time you can find me spending time with my family outside in our pool (with sunscreen of course) or cheering on our son’s competitive baseball team!
My favorite skin care product is tretinoin (a prescription vitamin A cream)! It's the ultimate anti-aging cream that also helps with acne! If you are having trouble tolerating it, apply a cream, such as Vanicream or Cereve right after!!
