treating domestic animals, including companion animals and farm animals, as
well as exotic animals. Dr. Vargas has a great deal of experience with
dermatology, reproduction, pathology and immunology, and production animal

particularly enjoys surgery. In his free time, Dr. Vargas enjoys spending time
with animals and swimming.
