Unsuccessful Surgery Dr Vaughn operated on my right leg for nerve pain two months ago and I have zero pain relief. Today he said there is nothing more he can do. I have no confidence that what he actually did was the correct procedure. I am now seeking a second opinion from a different doctor.

Dr Vaughn was great. It was my first visit, and the team from check in to check out was extremely efficient. Dr Vaughn was friendly, and did a great job explaining everything so it was understandable. Next steps were clearly shared. Really enjoyed my visit.

I consulted with Dr. Vaughn after a bad ankle break with surgery by another surgeon to set and implant hardware to support the bone. I went through the process of Physical Therapy for several months, but was still in pain and had quite a bit of sensitivity in the ankle and entire foot. By consulting with Dr. Vaughn, and him prescribing a vitamin therapy, the foot healed, but the ankle area was still a problem. He removed the hardware, and within 6 weeks I had my range of motion back to normal and nerve sensitivity was very low. I can't say enough how much this changed my health and activity level. I am working in my flower gardens again! Nancy O.

my name is Gretchen joy and I have the pleasure of finding and letting dr Vaughn take care of me two badly deformed feet. I have been to other drs for foot surgery and he was the only one who has given me my feet back to walk properly. he spends the time to tell you what he is going to do and never hurries you on your time.
