I cannot recommend Dr. Vargo highly enough! His approach to chiropractic care is truly exceptional, particularly his expertise in the Gondeat chiropractic method. Unlike many chiropractors who offer temporary relief, Dr. Vargo devises comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.From my initial consultation, I was impressed by Dr. Vargo’s thoroughness. He conducted a two-day comprehensive test and analysis before any adjustments, ensuring he had a precise understanding of my condition. This detailed approach gave me immense confidence in his care.As someone who has suffered from sciatic nerve pain since my high school wrestling days, I had tried various treatments with little success. However, just two weeks into my treatment with Dr. Vargo, I no longer feel that debilitating pain. His personalized plan addressed the root cause of my discomfort, providing lasting relief. I look forward to the end of my treatment for sure and compare radiographs from when i first started! 🥹If you’re looking for a chiropractor who goes above and beyond to understand and treat your pain, Dr. Vargo is the one. His dedication, expertise, and the Gondeat approach have made a significant difference in my life. Don’t hesitate to seek his care—your body will thank you!

Ive been seeing Dr Vargo since November 2022. When I first came in I was a horrid mess. My lower back had been re-injured from an old previous injury that I had already recovered from years ago and I unfortunately threw my back out again unknowingly after my first born child came into my life. Like a foolish new parent, I did not realize it at the time but I was not using proper technique when lifting him off the ground and in doing so, over and over 20 times per day over several months, I eventually ruined my back again, except this time it was very serious. Since I had moved out to Azusa from West LA, my original chiropractor from years ago was now too far out of reach so I went to go see a family chiropractic in Pasadena and Dr Mike there was terrible and gave me almost zero individual attention so I left and then I went to the joint chiropractic in Azusa where not only they didnt help me but they made my situation even worse! Thankfully, I discovered Dr. Vargo and after meeting with him, we started with roughly an hour and a half one on one consultation and then scheduled the x-ray soon after. Thats when I found out via the Xray examination that 1/3 of my cartilage is missing in the disc thats between the L5 and S1 where also both got twisted out of alignment and that explained the constant state of pain and agony I was in at the time. This is the key difference between Dr Vargo and other chiropractors is the use of x-ray tech in order to provide a very precise diagnosis of where your issue is and devise a custom solution to your unique situation. I initially started my road to recovery regimen by seeing Dr Vargo 3 times per week then eventually down to twice a week and once a week. Now almost a year and a half later, I am down to a bi-weekly frequency and hoping to eventually go back to a normal life and get my visits down to once a month. Long story short, I am in the best shape now than I ever was in a very long time. Unfortunately, due to the severity of my injury, I have to give up running for good and although my back is far from perfect, I am infinitely grateful to be able to accomplish about 95% of things I need to do, especially considering the crippled state I was in not that long ago. I continue to plan to see Dr Vargo because I know he gives me focused individual attention and treatment and he takes the time to keep up and discuss my progress and next steps. The goal of chiropractic treatment is to get you as close as possible to a full cure by helping your body naturally align and rehabilitate which drugs, painkillers and even surgery in many cases will never accomplish and thats where Dr Vargo comes in using his focused Gonstead chiropractic style. Overall Im giving Dr Vargo five stars due to the personalized and attentive care that he has given me all along, and Im sure he will do the same for you too.

I met Dr.Vargo at a farmers market. Im glad I met him accidentally. After numerous visits to various chiropractors for lower back and neck pain I stopped putting my faith on them. Immediately after getting treated with Dr. Vargo my perspective changed.In the first consultation he takes X-Rays, a heat exam, and pictures. On top of that he discusses his way of treating people.The second visit he goes over your exam findings and what would be a normal body/bone structure. During these visits he spends a lot of time explaining the reason why your body should be aligned etc or how your homes should look typically. From these 2 visits I knew that he cared for his patients he wasnt another chiro putting you on a massage chair and giving you electric currents. He cared.This is the 4th time coming in. After the 2 visit I started to get treated. After the adjustment I felt like weight came off my body. I felt much better. This was not the first time I gotten adjusted. Definitely he knew what he was doing. Before an adjustment he has my X-rays available to know where to treat me.I recommend Dr. Vargas he cared for his patients. Plus he is very affordable and has payment options (for the amount of work he puts into his patients he charges super cheap).I can go on about his practice. If you have pain come to him hes worth the time and money.

By far the best chiropractor I have ever seen. He has completely changed my life. I suffered from severe neck and upper back pain from years of working on a computer. After completing an examination and xray he showed me exactly what the problem was. He created a treatment plan for me and helped me recover. I am 95% better than I was before and getting better by the week. I highly recommend!!
