Dr. Marco Vargas, DPM, Sugar Land, TX | Podiatrist

About Dr. Marco Vargas

Growing up in Bogota, Colombia, I always wanted to be a doctor but wasn’t sure what kind. While playing football at the University of Florida, I suffered a foot injury and met my mentor, Stuart Leeds, in my hometown of Miami, Florida. This experience introduced me to the specialty of podiatry. I remember being impressed by going to his office in pain, wondering if I was going to need surgery, and leaving after my first visit pain-free, having done everything that I needed right there in his office. And, best of all, I never had to have surgery! He was also the team podiatrist for the Miami Heat and the University of Miami athletes. That garnered my attention at the time since I was an athlete myself and was interested in sports medicine. Eventually, when I finished my surgical residency in Los Angeles, I joined his successor and my biomechanics professor, Dr. James Losito, and worked with the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association and the Miami Fusion of Major League Soccer as a team doctor. After a short time practicing in Miami, I was recruited by a hospital in Richmond, Texas. I made the move and began my journey in private practice on February 3, 2000. Since then, my practice has grown significantly. I have been blessed to have a fulfilling and rewarding career including being an attending surgeon for the Greater Texas Education Foundation podiatry residency training program, as well as a team doctor for the Sugar Land Skeeters minor league baseball team. I have also hosted radio shows on Univision and La Tremenda and made television appearances on Telemundo and CBS local news. I have three wonderful children, Olivia, Lucas, and Zachary, and two English bulldogs, Paco and Blue. In my spare time, I enjoy working out and spending time with my boys, boxing with my son Lucas, and spending time at my home in Cabo San Lucas. I also enjoy fishing and boating and anything that has to do with the ocean.
