Patient Reviews

(308 reviews)

he is a good dr. first my first visiting i feel, clearly knows what he is doing for his profession duty.
He very good and understanding. what a patient need.
Dr. Vaughn was clear, personable and thorough.
I had a knee XRay followed by a consultation with the doctor. Everybody was very courteous and efficient. I had all my concerns addressed.
This is the 4th time Dr. Vaughn has greatly improved the quality of my life. He is an excellent surgeon.
Dr. Vaughn is always extemely professional and prepared for every appointment. He reviewed my knee MRI and compared it with the previous imaging done four years prior. He explained the finding and what is most likely causing it. He also took time to discuss my right hip pain that is related to this knee and how the nerve pain I have can manifest while reviewing potential different mechanisms that can cause it. He allowed me the time to explain my neurological symptoms and how I am also getting help from the neurologist. He was kind enough to allow me to get imaging of my right hip and send to my surgical team in Vail. He is an outstanding physician who I find to be the most knowledgeable on all ortho and some neuro issues that I've had in the previous years. I have and will continue to refer him to others.
Great Doctor. Easy to understand and he is kind and thorough.
I really appreciate Dr. Vaughn
Very smart, professional and gave me options, explained each one … highly impressed with Dr. Vaughn
Dr. Vaughn is thoughtful, careful and he listens when I express my concerns and problems.
The doctor took the time and explained everything really well and in great detail. He was patient and answered every question.
Dr. Vaughn asks patient questions, examines the area of pain and discusses in a thorough manner what is happening and why you are probably having a problem. It is all discussed in layman's terms so you can understand his diagnosis. I also like that he explains the options for treatment and then more or less let you choose what to do next. He also doesn't rush you through the visit. All doctor's should take some lessons from him.
Listened well, dialed directly in to my pain and likely causes, suggested a clear course of action, with further determinations to be made based on progress.
He's a kind, thoughtful, clear in his communication, fantastic doctor.

If meet anyone Needing Orthopedic Care, will most definitely Refer to your Office
Both I and my wife have our Primary Care by Stanford Healthcare and I am very pleased so far.
Dr. Zachery Vaughn is excellent, but I felt - for the first time actually at a Stanford medical facility - that the indivdual who was at the front desk was not particualry friendly. They seemed short and irritated. I chalk it up to pandemic fatigue - hopefull it is not a real reflection about the person. To be clear, they were not nasty or rude, but the indivdiual was curt and not particularly helpful. Their was also a bit of a weird interaction with the person taking me back for xrays but again I was able to resolve with her easily.
Dr. Vaughn was great, had looked over all my information ahead of time, and answered all my questions to help me assess best next steps. Appreciate the option for a video visit as well. Thank you!
Very professional at front desk and the nurse that takes u to the Doctors room and the Doctor very good

Dr. Vaughn was amazing. He listened to my concerns, questions, and fears, and addressed them one by one. He reviewed my MRIs with me in detail so I had a much better understanding of my situation. The previous provider I had seen for this issue never did this and I found the care quite lacking. I feel Dr. Vaughn understands my issues, clearly explained the options for going forward that he felt were reasonable for the situation, and my trust in him is complete.
From the first appt. I was great full to have be recommended by Dr. Mow office. He listen to my problem and he ordered the MRI that I needed and could not get from my Ortho doctor in Sonora!

Dr Vaughn was recommended to me and he did not disappoint
The only thing, I noticed that all Stanford Health try to used their Physician Assistants and used to seeing the doctor after any operation. The PA is good but prefer seeing the doctor that performs the procedure.
He explains things really well and gives quality options.
Dr. Vaughn did a good job asking questions, listening to my responses and explaining what he felt would be the best next steps.

Dr Steven Chang and staff were generous with time and information.I found everyone cheerful friendly and supportive.I realize I am in good hands. I feel blessed!
it's so hard to judge a provider in one visit. he seemed knowledgeable but I was disappointed that he wanted a second MRI before making any definitive plan for surgery. I understand why he wants a second MRI with contrast before proceeding with further care.
Dr. Vaughn and staff are terrific!
Great experience with Dr. Vaughn. He explained my condition and my options thoroughly, and patiently answered all of my questions

I will definitely recommend this Stanford orthopedist group. the professionalism and care were superior . though I have not had a great deal of doctor visits, of late I have had enough to compare.
Dr. Vaughn took his time with me to explain the current situation as we believe it to be, my current treatment options, and plan for the future once we see how this treatment goes. He answered my many questions thoroughly and with patience.
Dr Vaughn is an awesome and excellent physician. He is very professional and also efficient. He has done two very successful surgeries on me. I trust his judgment. Thank you Dr. Vaughn!

The doctor took a great deal of time to talk to me about my concerns. I was very pleased with him.

Dr. Vaughn has exceptional patient interface skills. He completely explains the conditions of the injured areas, the treatments possible and the expected outcomes. I would recommend him to others without an qualms.
A very positive experience - with a clear (nonsurgical) option to attempt before considering surgery for the issue. The physician used a great analogy, even if it was simple, it was effective.
I have the greatest confidence in Dr. Vaughn. I really liked him and would highly recommend him to others.
Loved him!
I appreciated that Dr. Vaughn took time explaining & discussing situation with me. I believe docs need as much time as necessary with their patients. Therefore suggest longer appt. times to prevent back-ups.
Dr. Vaughn spent a lot of time discussing my shoulder and was very patient with my questions and I never felt rushed. It is obvious Dr. Vaughn cares about his patients.
So grateful to have found Dr. Vaughn
Dr. Vaughn is an excellent ortho dr. His knowledge and trust I have in him has been a great comfort that he "will" and can find the cause and know how treat accordingly. AMAZING!!

I would recommend him to everyone who needs a good orthopedic doctor!
This was a post-op appointment, to go over my surgery and explain what was done and answer my questions. The appointment was EXACTLY what I wanted/needed. The surgery was explained clearly, pictures were described, the conditions were explained and all my questions were answered. Dr.Vaughn was clear, and thorough. I always feel my questions are respected, and answers/explanations are always given in a way I can comprehend. I am absolutely confident Dr. Vaughn was the best surgeon for me (I met with 3 others previously).
Dr. Vaughn was excellent. I liked his casual manner of discussing the problem and also that he way he felt there was more than one avenue one could explore to address my needs. I felt like I could talk to him as a peer and felt comfortable asking questions and sharing thoughts in an easy, casual manner.
I do appreciate Dr. Vaughn for listening in its entirty of my concerns and was very patient in answering my questions to my understanding and made me feel assured he knows what he is talking about.
If I meet anyone else going to Stanford for ortho care I would recommend Dr. Vaughn.
Dr. Vaughn is excellent & patient.
I really appreciated that Dr. Vaughn was not in a rush to get out of the appointment. He waited until I had exhausted all my questions. That kind of attention and care is increasingly rare in my experience. Kudos to Dr. Vaughn.
I honestly couldn't ask for anything more than what Dr. Vaughn provided. He was great.
The Dr. Vaughn explained my condition very thoroughly. He answered any and all questioned I had. I never felt rushed during our session and when I left I had a very good understanding of my condition and treatment.

Overall, the dr.'s concern and attention was genuine and excellent. He was interested in my questions and took the time to provide answers for my concerns. Very good!
Since surgery may be in my future, Dr. Vaughn was extremely thorough in explaining my options, conservatively or otherwise. He drew a very understandable drawing of what he would be doing in the future for surgery. We opted to go conservative this time around with an injection and PT. Dr. Vaughn spent a lot of time explaining and answering questions. He is professional, kind, very smart, and thorough. I feel I am in very good hands at his office.
Loved the way Dr Vaughn took time to explain things to me
Vaughn is excellent in both his clinical expertise to accessibility, he gave me his private email so we could communicate faster than going through clinic phone system. He offers a range of choices and not just aggressive options.
After 5 week of seeing other doctors & not getting any answers, Dr. Vaughn has now been working hard to get to the bottom of my foot pain, and putting my mind at ease. He is very careful to state sometimes scary things in a very calming way.
Dr. Vaugh is an outstanding doctor who spends quality time with me and is always open to questions and then asks if I have any more questions to ask. I don't feel rushed and I feel listened to. I highly recommend Dr. Vaugh. He's knowledgeable and has an outstanding caring manner. Can't say enough about this wonderful doctor!
Dr Vaughn is a great physician. after my procedure I emailed him 3 different times and he emailed me back within 10-15 min. I highly recommend him to others

I never felt rushed and he was wonderful reassuring me and answering my multiple questions. His knowledge and manner are exceptional! I left with validation and confidence in my medical decisions due to his competence and wonderful communications skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Dr. Vaughn is an exceptional and extraordinary doctor. I met with him several times prior to surgery. He showed great care, expertise, sensitivity to my ankle issues. He answered all my questions thoroughly and in terms that I understood. Post surgery, he responded to any and all concerns with his accessibility by phone and by email in a timely fashion. It meant a lot to me that I could reach out to Dr. Vaughn, knowing he would respond. He is unique in his sensitivity and interpersonal skills. His physician assistant Jesse has also been caring, responsive, and attentive throughout the pre and post surgical process. I could not ask for a better team taking care of me.
Dr. Vaughn is professional yet down to earth as always.
Dr. Vaugn was awesome. He explained all of my options. I went in thinking I had to have surgery. We came up with another conservative treatment plan which may avoid surgery altogether. I also had two injections into my knee which did not hurt. He talked me through both injections with ease of information. Nicely done!
Dr. Vaughn was very nice and took a lot of time to explain everything and answer all my questions.

Dr. Vaughn was thorough & patient in his explanations. Left the decisions to me about whether to have surgery or not. Took quite a lot of time to go through the MRI with me. Not hurried!
Dr. Vaughn is a great listener and isn't afraid to answer hard questions. I really appreciate the time he took with me because I had a complicated situation. He's extremely competent, empathetic and has a great personality. Too bad I didn't find him earlier.
During the procedure Dr Vaughn explained everything he was doing and afterwards took the time to answer my questions about how long it might take to see results and what our next steps would be if the procedure fails
The doctor was very nice, inspired quite a lot of confidence, and generally gave me a very favorable impression. I really can't think of much of anything to object to.
Excellent doctor!!
A scar can remind a patient's feeling about the physician. I appreciate the care he took to close my wounds so that it is almost not visible.
Dr. Vaughn is a top notch surgeon and orthopedist. He never rushes through the appointment and he always spends a lot of time explaining orthopedic issues in a clear and concise manner. The best.
Great doctor!
Dr.Vaughn seemed very knowledgeable. He explained to me in detail about what the MRI was showing and what the problem was. That was very helpful. Then he proceeded to explain to me what the options, their pros, and cons were. I am good at grasping these details and I was glad that he explained in detail. He addressed my concern about my pelvic joints as well. Now, I feel better about my move to a new place. Dr. Vaughn truly is a very good Doctor and I will recommend him to anybody in need of ortho advice. Thanks a lot, Dr. Vaughn!
As is my usual experience, Dr. Vaughn took the time to address all of my questions and concerns to my satisfaction. I had a list of questions for him, and he was very patient with me and responded fully to my questions. I feel lucky to have him as my provider.
Excellent!
I was very impressed with the entire office staff. Everyone was kind and knowledgeable.
I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN PA SMITH; HE IS ALWAYS WELL PREPARED FOR MY OFFICE VISITS AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PRIOR ADVICE AND RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED TO ME IN PREVIOUS VISITS. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE HE PROVIDES.
