I have a 5 month old and a 3 year old and Dr. Vargas has been there anytime I called. He's amazing! He definitely cares about his patients.No matter how big or small the problem is. He always makes me feel that my children are in good hands. I always recommend Dr. Vargas to New parents.

In recent years I had been a bit put off by Dr. Vargas' change in bed-side manner. He has lost his zest for caring for children and now it is all about the money. After watching four doctors leave his practice, most lasting about two years, I began to wonder. At a recent visit, when I did not want my daughter to have the HPV vaccine Dr. Vargas ARGUED with me over my choice. He even went so far as to LIE to me stating that HPV can be transmitted via a toilet seat! He obviously was looking for the kickback from the pharmaceutical company for the vaccine. We have since left the practice and he is refusing to give me the medical records that I am requesting for one of my children with a genetic disorder. Even after I offered to pick them up over mailing them.

I think Dr. Vargas is a wonderful Dr. He will spend as much time as I need with him and he has never been short or rude. I don't like the wait time, I've had to wait over 30 min at times, but he has toys for kids to play with, so my daughter was occupied. Great Dr and I would highly recommend him!!

He is the best pediatrician that I know of. Very caring and pationate and he always knows what is wrong with my children the first time. I love him and completely trust him with my childrens lives.

He can't help diagnose my child's injury. He thought a bird was the reason his leg gave out. LOL, he's 15, and it was clear as day.
