Dr. Vargas is the BEST. I haven't had a Dr in a long while who listens to your concerns, explains everything so you understand and is very compassionate and understanding. He responds very quickly when you leave a message with his office staff who also are very nice. I have some issues going on and he is doing his best having me go through things to try and figure out what the problem is and I really appreciate that so much. So glad a friend referred him to me.
