Very unprofessional and not friendly at all! He didn’t say hello or tell us who he is. It was out first time meeting him. Not informative at all and made us felt rushed. He made comment about our insurance plan. He left the room without telling us the examination was done and we just sat there not knowing what to do next. We would never recommend him!

My son has been a patient of Dr. Vergara’s for a few years now and we think he is fantastic. He is great with patient and parents.

He is very informative, explains what the plans are, and my daughter and I are heard when we speak to him.

Dr. Vergara was very thorough with his examination. He took time to listen to our concerns and explained what he thought was going on and allowed us time to ask questions. We didn’t feel rushed and felt he really cared. This visit was very pleasant considering the situation.

I like that the office is professional and efficient. The nurse, Martha, always remembers our family. Dr. Vergara also does that too in addition to his thorough questions and exam.

Loved the doctor's kind and warm demeanor. Put everything at ease and was very reassuring. Feel very fortunate and grateful that we found Dr.Vergara and that my child will now be in his care.
