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.

TERRIBLE Psychiatrist
My experience with Dr. Vaughn does not even deserve 1 star. He barely took his eyes off his computer during the three rushed 5-10 minute appointments I had with him. He was rude and made me feel uncomfortable by his terrible bedside manner. However, the worst part of my experience with him is that he spoke to my husband about my “treatment plan” and “diagnosis” BEFORE even speaking to me about these. Shame on him for violating my rights as a patient. I’m going to a different psychiatrist for a second opinion… a doctor who actually cares about me. RETIRE, DR. VAUGHN! You do more harm than good.

Extremely conscientious doctor who takes the time to listen first, and make a medication plan that is conservative / least invasive as possible. Our family really trusts him to work with our young adult daughter.

He has been very helpful for me. Anytime I’ve needed him in between appointments he has worked me into his schedule.

Treated me as if everything I said was a potential lie, that I was probably some sort of addict, as that is one of his specialties, met me once, refused to write prescriptions, and was basically an unpleasant, judgmental prig. He was unconcerned that I needed long time medications, told me to buck up, they were not needed and I could manage. I would recommend that if a patient is seeking a nice person and a good doctor this hateful man is not the right one for anyone with self respect.

I can honestly say that Dr. Michael Vaughn & his staff is truly a gift from God! Dr. Vaughn is so understanding and very assertive and he NEVER judges you on what you tell him rather it’s good or bad. I’ve been his patient since August of 2015, when I voluntarily admitted myself into Peachford Hospital. No matter what you’re going through, whenever you decide to make that decision that you need help, Dr. Michael Vaughn is highly recommended.
