Attentive, professional, skilled surgeon. Dr. Vaughan is a veteran who understands why my knees are (were) so bad. He has a sense of humor that helps during a stressful process. Oh yeah…the results are a big reason for the highest rating.

I had a knee replacement surgery on my right knee with Dr. Vaughan in 2019. The recovery went well and I have been walking regularly since. My left knee is giving me trouble and Dr. Vaughan has done a series of synvist shos about every nine months. These injections have aloowed me to keep active whcih is essential for an 80 yr old. Dr. Vaughan is always knowledge

Highly recommend Dr. Vaughn Dr. Patrick Vaughn has taken care of both of my knees: a meniscus repair on one and an ACL reconstruction on the other. After 30+ years of recreational soccer, I'm now dealing with the wear and tear that comes with it, and he's still the one I trust to guide me through it. He's extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what's going on and why he's recommending a particular approach. I never feel rushed, and he always makes sure I'm comfortable with the treatment plan before we move forward. He's great to work with, and I'd recommend him to any athlete, weekend warrior or otherwise, dealing with knee issues.
