Dr Vaughan has been seeing me for yrs now over work injury and has been excellent with explaining what is going on with me an my herniated n bulging disk with one of worst cases of pinch nerves but is honest well bed side mannered always lets me know what is happening since my last visit an once get X-Ray always explains to me if there any changes or not. So with that said I highly recommend him to anyone who has any issues with spin .

I have only good thing to say about Dr. Vaughan. He has treated me several times over many years. He explains things very well for you. He has always been kind and caring. One of the good doctors. Office staff is very helpful.

This doctor was very cold not even pay really attention when I was explaining every symptom, rarely made eye contact, look like he didn't believed I was in pain. He quickly told me that surgery wouldn't help. He told me surgery for this works 3 out of 4 times (odds seems good to me). He would speak more directly to the workers comp lady that was with me than he would me, make mistake when ordered MRI because he was not listening when I was talking, or his mind was not there, for first appointment and 2 follow up waiting time seriously was of 2 and almost 3 hours, staffs VERY RUDE when I ask why the waiting to much, just answering like they do not care, HE IS ALWAYS BEHIND, IF YOU WANT YOU CAN RESCHEDULLE!!!! I Say REALLY!!! Is like they don't care about you time!!! WORSE DOCTOR I EVER VISIT!!!

He was very cold. Rarely made eye contact. Didn't appear to listen to what I was saying about my pain except that he believed I was in pain. He quickly told me that surgery wouldn't help. He told me surgery for this works 3 out of 4 times (odds seems good to me). He would speak more directly to the workers comp lady that was with me than he would me.
