About Us

Meet DR. VARGAS

At PAMS I strive to use the same principles I learned at UCSF in caring for patients with chronic painful conditions. My aim is to define and diagnose the underlying painful problem and apply interventional techniques to improve pain, function, and quality of life so my patients can enjoy the good health of their youth as long as possible. Targeted diagnostic injections, cortisone injections, platelet rich plasma injections, radiofrequency ablations, and neuromodulation techniques are my trained specialization areas. Every patient’s experience of pain is unique, and I take care to consider underlying medical problems to optimize treatment and outcomes. My practice takes a limited role in systemic medication management with careful patient selection and a tailored, multimodal approach aimed at eliminating use of opioid pain medications. 

My role is to empower patients to engage in active treatments aimed at maintaining strength, flexibility, and improving the mind-body connection. Managing painful diagnoses is a team effort with the primary goal of rehabilitation. My partners in rehabilitation management include chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, and psychologists trained to engage our body and mind’s natural pathways for limiting the effects of pain.
