This one is very long, but please read. There are four main points I address: a) slow reception, b) extremely questionable treatment, c) poor patient care, and d) odd fees/useless treatments.
a) I've been here 3 times, but it honestly felt like 5. Every time I came in for my appointment, I had to wait over 30 minutes until I could see the doctor. I overheard a customer complaining directly to the receptionist, who replied that they were understaffed. Regardless, it was an annoyance.
b) On my 2nd visit, I told them about some on-and-off foot pain I've had for years. After an X-ray, they told me

This place has nice doctors which is the only reason I gave 2 stars. The wait times are insane. You can have an appointment for 9:15 am and not leave till 12 pm. They also charge you so much for everything. I find myself paying copays left and right for multiple tests done on a small tear in my foot. Then I get hit with an email weeks later saying the insurance didnt pay and I have to pay the remainder (which is just mind boggling to me). Overall its a decent place but just be wary of the wait times and insane testing asked of you every visit.

Horrible experience. Dr.Vargas did surgery on foot and at very last minute (day of surgery) he suggested to add an implant, I feel like he only added the implant to get more money from the insurance. After recovery, my foot was not the same, not allowing me to walk properly or run. Now I have to go to a different foot specialist to remove it because its causing problems, the specialist had told me that the implant was never needed and has no idea why he would put it.

My husband and I were seen at the Sugar Land office by Dr. Johnson. We were very pleased! She was very personable, professional and thorough. We highly recommend her and the front office service was also exceptional.

Dr. Alicia Johnson is an amazing doctor and surgeon. Extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, impeccable bedside manner, never feel rushed regardless of how busy she is. Now here are the cons or my negative experiences that have been consistent from day one. Her staff is terrible with communication. They are all friendly for the most part but you can never get anyone to call you back or respond, despite text messages, voicemail and portal message use. I have to jump through hoops to actually talk to someone every single time. Sounds like a management issue which is terrible relating to patient services
