Craig Pillow
Physical Therapist
"My name is Craig Pillow. I graduated from Creighton University in 2019 with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy. I have since been practicing here in the Coachella Valley in an outpatient orthopedic setting. I strive to develop personal connections with each of my clients. My goal is to treat the person as an individual and not just an injury. I take pride in providing a PT experience that is unique and not cookie cutter. When I am not working I enjoy playing golf, lifting weights, BBQ/Smoking meat, and playing with my two kids. Fun fact: I was born/raised in the Coachella Valley."
Juan Vargas
Physical Therapist
"I feel honored and blessed to serve our community with the holistic approach of Physical Therapy. It has always been my passion to help individuals; and with the skills acquired through attaining a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, I can finally answer my calling. I graduated from the University of St. Augustine in Austin Texas in 2020, but my roots run deep in the beautiful terrain of the Eastern Coachella Valley. Along with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy, I have acquired certifications in manual techniques, strength and condition, and LSVT which is geared in treating individuals with Parkinson’s Disease and balance deficits. I want all my patients to understand that the provider/patient relationship is a team effort, and as a team we will do whatever it takes to ensure every one of our patients have the proper tools in order to optimize their quality of life. With research-based rehabilitation techniques, we will find the best path to achieve “less pain and more power.” I will guide and instruct individuals on the optimal movement patterns in order to win the fight against gravity."
Adrian Miranda
Physical Therapy Assistant
"Born and raised in the Coachella Valley, I have always been passionate about staying active and giving back to my community. After graduating from UC Irvine with my undergraduate degree, I worked as an educator teaching high school. I then decided to transition into the healthcare field which was more aligned with my lifestyle. I was proud to be part of the inaugural cohort of the College of the Desert's PTA program. My approach to physical therapy is guided by the belief that, "it doesn't matter how much you know, until the person knows how much you care." I strive to provide personalized, evidence-based, care that focuses on what works best for each individual; ensuring you feel supported every step of the way on your rehab journey. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!"
Outside of the clinic, I love staying active through basketball, pickleball, or any sport that gets me moving. I love watching basketball, and my favorite team is the Lakers. I also enjoy going on trips with my fiancée, trying new food spots with her, and spending time with friends and family any opportunity I can.
