He is very compassionate and is eager to figure out exactly what is going on with you. I have also found him to be very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile in getting other outside appointments lined up if necessary. His staff is very kind and caring. I never have to wait very long to get in for an appointment or get stuck in his office waiting to be seen. The office is always very neat and clean.

Dr Vargas is without a doubt the best family Doctor that I have ever had. Every prescription that he has prescribed during the 10 years I have been seeing him has solved the issues for which medication was required. He is also very personable.

I am his first fibromyalgia patient, He sent me to many specialist to confirm his diagnosis and never taking my pain and discomfort lightly. He spent time with me, listening to me and trying to help change my quality of life. And although I knew he was being thorough a confirmation from the last specialist I saw of my choosing was the icing on the cake. She was impressed with his treatment and she would have never guessed that I was his first and only fibromyalgia patient, she said and I quote " he has done everything that I would do and tried every medication I would have suggested." He is a great doctor, we met about 10 years ago in a local Harrisburg NC practice then years later after I found that everyone was treating my condition with narcotics I tracked him down to get to the bottom of my pain. And he did. And although fibromyalgia is a never ending challenge in my life he is a key part in my treatment.
