Sports Medicine

The Sports Medicine Clinic at Foot & Ankle Associates was designed to provide an all-inclusive facility for patients to quickly and easily access. As a former college athlete himself, Dr. Vargas understands that athletes require fast, efficient care so that they can return to their sport as quickly as possible. He also understands that injuries can severely side track training or practice time which is why all of his sports medicine protocols are designed to keep the athlete as active as possible during recovery so that they can return to their sport as quickly and as safely as possible. Our office is comprised of several clinical departments in order for the athlete and their family to receive their care all within the same office for an additional level of convenience.

FAA Custom Orthotics Lab at the Sports Medicine Clinic is a state of the art facility dedicated exclusively to the manufacturing of custom foot orthotics designed to control abnormal biomechanical forces that contribute to foot and ankle injuries.
