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!

Provider, resident, and all supportive team was excellent. Great experience.

Dr. Vaughn is amazing! He even went above and beyond to help push my son surgery sooner.

We really enjoyed the service from the doctor, how alert and attentive he was to us, and how quickly we were able to get in.

Was very impressed with the amount of time he was able to spend with us. He listened to my daughters information and went through all the tests with us and made recommendation that seemed like the best option for her.

Dr Vaughn has taken care of me for about two years. He is very knowledgeable and very kind. I am so glad we found him!! He has taken excellent care of me!

Dr. Vaughn spoke directly to my son during our appointment with him. This was amazing and my son very much felt heard and understood. Great bedside manner!
