Introducing Our Health Counselor: Ruth Vergara

The Gajer Practice Blogs

June 24, 2023

Hello, my name is Ruth Vergara. Although I am Filipino by nationality, I was born in Italy Sicily while my father was in the Navy. My family moved to back to America when I was just one year old and we have been here ever since. I was drawn to my current job for two reasons: the weight loss program and primary care aspect. I have always been passionate about helping people live a healthier lifestyle and being there for them every step of the way. Additionally, I love being able to assist patients with their medical needs.

I have been working in this office for two years and plan on staying for as long as I can. My hobbies include spending time with my loved ones, going to the movies, and bowling.

The most rewarding part of my job is witnessing my patients’ progress in lifestyle changes, which ultimately leads to their happiness!
