"My 2-year-old saw her at 18 months because she fell and chipped her tooth. Dr. Vaughn was very compassionate and kind. I was a disaster because my toddler was getting a tooth pulled, but she really comforted me during it all. She even helped me get my infant back into her car seat and out to the car when it was all said and done. She called later that night to check in. I was impressed."
"Dr. Vaughn's entire staff is amazing. I was able to get all of my kids' mounting dental issues taken care of in just a few visits, with minimal discomfort for the kids, which helped with everyone's anxiety. The staff is extremely friendly and awesome with the children, taking time to answer questions to make them feel at ease..."
"They are always very kind and gentle with dealing with my son, who screams and fights through cleanings and checks. They never get impatient and are always trying to calm him down in fun ways (with stickers, a movie, toys, even blowing a glove into a balloon). Dr. Vaughn is a great pediatric dentist, and I will always take my child to her/office for cleanings."
"I love Dr Vaughn she is so understanding and so patient with my kids. She and her entire staff from billing to front desk to the hygienists in back. My kids are so comfortable with all of them. I would fully recommend Dr Vaughn to everyone."
"Wonderful from beginning to end. Handles my teen with anxiety and autism beautifully. Really appreciate the family-like atmosphere."
"They are so caring and patient with their patients. My daughter isn't the easiest patient, but they just work with her and always want what is best for her. I couldn't ask for better treatment."
