Dr. Vaughan is super nice and has a ton of knowledge and experience. If you are having any orthopedic issues, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Doug Mar 24 2024

Review for Dr. Vaughan

Having waited four long months for my appointment with Dr. Boruff, I am extremely sorry to report that he was a horrible disappointment, shaming and blaming me for my primary medical issue (diabetes), which he claims on his physician profile is one of his primary clinical interests. I have no idea...

Review for Dr. Boruff

This wonderful doctor is patient and kind, compassionate.

Review for Dr. Michael

I have been a patient of Dr. Meriwether for 3 years. He tried several medications that didn’t work before we both agreed on a cardiac ablation. Very concerned, compassionate, and caring. There has never been a rush during my appointments. Has an excellent beside manor, which is a must for someone...

Kimberly Barnes Mar 23 2024

Review for Dr. Meriwether

Dr Yau is very professional and courteous. He explains everything in detail in simple terms and prescribes the best care possible. I would highly recommend him and the practice to anyone.
