I recently had my wisdom teeth removed & first ever oral surgery with Dr. vaughan and I am beyond grateful to have him as my surgeon! He is very nice he deserves a 10 star rating and as well the office staff everyone is always welcoming, helpful and friendly! I definitely recommend his office. Even though healing can feel like long days it鈥檚 worth it overall and I鈥檓 excited for a much better smile! Thank you Dr Vaughan and staff! 馃榿馃榿

I was scared of pulling wisdom tooth, but Dr . Vaughan and stuff made it so easy and painless for me. Basically I was sleep when woke up itwas done. After surgery bleeding was minimal and pain was maderate . For first two days after I used pain killer other than that recovery was painless . I have to say stuff was very friendly , helpful and professional .

I came in on short notice with a dental abscess that was seriously out of hand. They saw me same day and took excellent care of me. I had anxiety about the pain and overall experience thinking I'd be awake. Turns out it was all in vain, I was made comfortable and before I knew it I was waking up and they were done. I don't remember a thing. It was an incredibly superior experience to any other I've had in any dental professional setting. Dr. Vaughn was polite, professional and friendly, very easy to be candid with. Same can be said for all the staff. I would recommend to anyone needing any work that they provide. I cant thank them enough. I'm adding to this post because I came back to see them again, this time it was for a wisdom tooth that needed to be extracted. They once again outdid themselves making me feel comfortable and unashamed when sharing some of my personal information I feel less than proud of. I was kept partially awake for the extraction for medical safety concerns, but it was a dream like state and felt some pressure but not pain; and they verbally kept me in the loop throughout the experience which was helpful because it was momentarily a bit confusing for me as this dreamlike state was slightly psychedelic in nature for whatever reason. Lol. All and all I was very happy to have my dental work completed in their office under Dr. Vaughns care. It's a wonderful office full of highly skilled and highly empathetic people.

I was having a routine tooth extraction at another dentist when a piece of my tooth chipped off and got displaced in my sinus. Dr. Vaughan saw me within that same hour that I had the incident happen. He gave me so much piece of mind that I will be ok (I have a lot of trauma with the dentist from past experiences) and he squeezed me into his busy schedule the very next morning to get things taken care of. I am only on day one of my recovery with minimal inflammation and pain. Also, all the employees I worked with were so kind and caring and answered any and all questions I had. I couldn't recommend him and his staff enough! If I could give more than five stars, I would. Thank you so much, Dr. Vaughan and team!

Two things taking a star down - physical attributes. From maps it looks like yu should be able to enter through the side that faces the 241 frwy. Ya can鈥檛. That was a hike with my walker. 2nd - should really look into having the front door rehung to open out instead of in. The front office is tiny and if you鈥檙e at the counter you risk getting hit or blocking others from getting in. Other than that, everyone was super nice, very helpful and professional.
