Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

EMERGENCY VISIT
The staff and Dr Vaughan were so kind and efficient. Dr Vaughan was patient and answered all my questions though there were many patients in the ER that night. I was very anxious about my illness, but I did not feel rushed at all, like I do with most other doctors! Thank you to him and his team!

terrible.. a lot to learn
terrible bedside manner, I had a strong feeling he really didn't care... zero re assurance..I diagnosed myself after being told to go home... I think I had a reaction to some strong antibiotics that I had taken on an empty stomach...He didn't ask any questions as to what i was taking.. he just said to continue what i had been prescribed... He had a lot to learn as far as communications between patient and DR... Absolutely terrible..
