Dr. Vargas is a very caring doctor and a wonderful person. She takes the time with all her patients to address all there questions and needs. She has been my PCP for approximately 3 years and I trust her and very happy under her care.

I’m very conflicted about this office. Dr. Vargas was wonderful and kind, and spent a good amount of time talking with me about my symptoms, but getting a test done has been literally impossible because of the office’s incompetence.
In short:
They did not get approval from my insurance company to do a CT scan the doctor requested, sent me on a run-around for nearly a month trying to get it approved, only for my insurance company to deny the approval in the end. I waited nearly a month for absolutely nothing and my pain has not gotten better.

My blood pressure was real high at my doctor's appointment this morning, 169 over 83 or something like that but when I came home I took it after an hour or so and after I had breakfast and it was more like 125 over 73.

Ever since I have been attending health first primary care I have never felt better. Doctor Vargas always makes sure my medications are on time and the girls at the front desk are lovely. I feel very comfortable and well taken care of.

I am very pleased with the care I have received since being a patient with Dr. Vargas.She is very thorough in her treatment and offer options if the patient is uncertain about cause and maintenance of care. She's easy to talk to and she listens to your concerns and complaints. The staff is very friendly and pressional. I highly recommended
