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.

Highly recommend!
We can’t say enough praise for Dr. Vaughn and his team. We have two precious babies thanks to them!

Dr. Vaughn is the BEST! He’s the reason we’re able to start a family and I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done for us! He’s a jolly good fella and does everything to make you comfortable throughout this journey. He has great bedside manners and is very polite and gentle. We love Dr. Vaughn! If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, please make an appointment with TFC and see Dr Vaughn - he’s a magician and a great person!

Dr. Vaughn came highly recommended by a friend who had just given birth after 4 IVF cycles (2 with a different doc, the final two with Dr. Vaughn). We decided to start treatment as I was 41 at the time and had been trying for 6 months. Due to my advanced age, I was anxious to wait any longer. Dr. Vaughn went over all of our options thoroughly. The clinic was clean and very well organized, the office nurses were kind. Dr. Vaughn has a gentle bedside manner, is very direct in answering questions, is respectful and wants to help you reach your goal. Team Vaughn answered every question we had promptly (don't be afraid to ask ANY question!). It was a surreal journey that ended in us successfully pregnant after two rounds of IVF. I highly recommend Dr. Vaughn and TFC when you are ready to dive into your fertility treatment. I feel like we got the best treatment possible, which is a blessing and a privilege.

Dr. Vaughn make my dream came true. I started treatment in September 2019 I had an ectopic in 2016 that left me with only one fallopian tube and two ovaries. Thanks to him I am 6 months pregnant with a baby boy no issues and no risks. I am very thankful!

I have seen Dr Vaughn since late 2018 when trying to conceive at an advanced maternal age. He was great at counseling us on our options, and his staff/office is always extremely efficient. We welcomed our first child, a baby boy, last fall and are now expecting another. Highly recommend even if you are wondering about fertility treatment to have a conversation with Dr Vaughn. I know it can be intimidating but it will make you feel much better about your options. It took a lot of stress off of us after speaking with him.

We saw Dr Vaughn for over a year. He takes a very scientific and data approach, which is very re-assuring. We tried a few different procedures before getting pregnant, but we trusted Dr Vaughn every step of the way. He always provided alternatives and had a plan B, plan C and plan D. We were sad to leave him and his office to go to our OBGYN, but will forever be grateful to him and his team. And are very excited to be expecting our first born later this year!

After two early miscarriages, my wife and I were referred to Dr. Vaughn for infertility treatment by our OB doctor. And now we consider ourselves super lucky. He always patiently listened to our concerns and took time answering our questions. He was very comprehensive in collecting different lab and exam results before recommending the best care. We went through a very successful IVF cycle and are now expecting our baby boy pretty soon. Dr. Vaughn brings in excellent medical knowledge as well as great emotional support during the tough moments. We really appreciated the fact that he did all the ultrasounds and other examinations himself.

I went to Dr Vaughn by recommendation from a friend, after three years of infertility and a disappointing experience with another local fertility doctor. In our first meeting he listened to my story and immediately decided IVF was the correct treatment plan for me. I had never seriously considered IVF, but he clearly explained the pros and cons and reasoning behind his recommendation. I didn't hesitate to accept his advice, which resulted in 6 healthy embryos and a pregnancy on the 1st try.

I have been a patient of Dr Vaughn's for about 6-7 months. My husband and I could not have asked for better care. What dr excuses his nurses and does the ultrasounds himself? Dr Vaughn always made us feel extremely comfortable and kept things lighthearted with his jokes when going through something so heavy (also, when appropriate). When we were at a crossroads of whether to stick with IUI for the 4th time or jump into IVF, he was extremely honest with the chances and outcome, which was so ap

Dr. Vaughn is AMAZING!!! I can not say enough good things about this man. Best bedside manner, easy to talk to about fears and worries, answers your questions and has a great nurse staff to help you along the way in your infertility journey. I have had two successful pregnancies with him and can not thank him enough for my miracle babies. HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone if you are having trouble getting pregnant. He is thorough and will make sure you get the best care under him.

After trying on our own for years, Dr. Vaughn and his staff helped my husband and I get pregnant. From the minute we walked in, Dr. Vaughn realistically led us through all of our options. After some surgery to removed fibroids and a cyst, and some initial testing on both of us, we were able to begin treatment. We did 1 IUI and then moved straight to IVF (our decision). The second IVF was successful. We are expecting a little girl in December! Thank you Dr. Vaughn!!
