Dr. Kristin Vaughan, DO

I began seeing Dr Vaughan as my primary care doctor when I was still a child. As a teenager, she treated me with distrust and condescension, not taking me seriously when I had an injury as severe as a herniated disc at 16. In my late 20s I returned with another serious condition, experiencing paralysis, loss of motor function, and unbearable pain. “Dr” Vaughan dismissed my complaints, refused to treat my pain, and finally referred me to a neurologist who said I was fine. An Emergency Room spinal tap and MRI less than a week later revealed a plum-sized brain tumor almost entirely compressing my brain stem. If I had the power to strip people of their medical licenses, this is the only one I would take. She treated me like a drug-seeking hypochondriac since I was a kid and failed in her duty to care for me as an adult. I’m 36 now and live on the other side of the country, but I still wake up at night haunted by the way she treated me. It affects my relationships with all of my current… doctors and if I had it to take back, I would sue her and the entire practice for failing to diagnose my almost-fatal condition. Whatever you do, don’t send your vulnerable children to her; she warped my trust in medical professionals completely.

I recommend that you "interview" Dr. Vaughn before chosing her as your doctor...this practice has lost what it once had, that being concern for patients...now its all about the cash.
