Rating & Reviews
Dr. Vaughn did an amazing job of explaining and walking us through the entire process. It was a very stressful situation when we first met him 10 months ago, and he just calmed our nerves. He helped us. He answered all of our questions. He was very attentive. He had excellent bedside manner. I mean, we couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. He did a great job, and you could tell that he really cared about my son.
Dr. Vaughn and his staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. They soothed our concerns and our fears going into surgery. We are really appreciative of them.
Everyone was very polite and professional, Dr. Vaughn was knowledgeable and explained everything to my son really well. My son felt respected and included in the plan.

Thank you so much for everything. I feel like my child. Got the best possible outcome period you helped with a very stressful situation. And we feel like it was a great experience overall.
We traveled from out of town to see Dr Vaughn as a 2nd opinion, he fully explained our sons needs and we better understand now his injuries and what action should be taken! Highly recommend.
Dr Vaughn is the best. Super professional and knowledgeable. His entire team from surgery through post op were great! I highly recommend Dr Vaughn!
This was by far the best experience I have ever had at a clinic. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The physician was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to our understanding. Never once did our treating physician rush our treatment.
It was our first time to Phoenix Children's Hospital and I was worried that it would be very slow and difficult because of such a busy hospital, but it was very efficient and everyone was very kind. Dr. Vaughn was awesome. He spoke to my child more than to me, which I really appreciated as she is a teenager and helped her understand things by even drawing things out so that she understood what was going on with her body. It was a really good experience and I would definitely recommend Dr. Vaughn and his team.
Awesome experience, thank you!
