Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Empathy can go a long way.
If you have trauma/brain injury, it may not be a good fit. Didn’t seem knowledgeable. Probably a good doc for normal folks.

Doctor Vargas has been my Pain Doctor for a few years. He is caring and kind, but occasionally he don’t listen to me about how I feel and I feel he don’t help me with my pain, but he always tells me he cares about his Patients and that is why he wont up on my Medication. I’m grateful for him getting me off the Many medications another Doctor had me on and im only taking one Pain med a day.

I would recommend him to anyone experiencing back pain & knee pain. He has helped me to regain some functionality in my life. For 3 years, I laid in my bed & almost lost my mind, riddled w/pain, sadness, depression, no hope for the future, walking on a cane & crying all day. He has helped w/my pain from a failed back surgery & arthritis in both knees. Now, at least I'm able to live a life w/my husband & not feel like a burden on him. He listened to my cry for help for a life, living & a future.
