I visited the doctor this week for some foot problems and I had a very positive experience. They got me in quickly, they wore masks and they follow the CDC guidelines. The doctor and his staff or efficient, friendly and great with her patients. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the services.

Dr.Vaughn is INCREDIBLE! His bedside manor is impeccable and I had the best experience going to him for an issue with my foot that was chronic. He resolved the problem I was having and my foot healed very nicely... His staff were fantastic and the entire experience was way better than I thought. Your feet are such precious, sensitive parts of your everyday life and I was really worried about getting the procedure I had done but it turned out perfectly and now I am back to hiking! Big thanks to Dr. Vaughn, cannot recommend enough.

I was able to get an appointment quickly, and when I needed to reschedule, I was able to get the day and time I needed. The clinic ran on schedule, and I had plenty of time with the doctor to discuss my condition and treatment options, and I left feeling like we had a perfect treatment plan. All of the staff was friendly and welcoming.

Dr. Kayce gave me my active lifestyle back. I spent 12 years in the military and my left ankle ligament had torn away over years of pounding, and the VA offered a bottle of Motrin. Kayce and team immediately offered a minimally invasive option for my ankle and toe (Hallux Rigidus), and the results were awesome. I can run, power lift, and play with my kids pain free.

Dr. Kayce was fantastic! I barely had to wait to be seen. He was very caring and personable. I really appreciated his help with the pain I've been suffering from last year with my plantar fasciitis. He was also very informative with my condition. Great doctor!

I had 3 major foot reconstruction surgeries in Oregon prior to moving to Arizona in April of 2018. Just 6 weeks after I arrived, I had a an issue on left foot where I had just had toe fusions in January of 2018 in Oregon. I cannot begin to tell you the horrible, hopeless foot doctors I saw beginning May of 2018. I saw 3 total! My right foot then also started to have terrible pain. After tons of x-rays, MRIs etc, the 2nd doctor, Dr. Lake, actually came in and said "with your feet you need a permanent handicap sticker" which he wrote a note to obtain. 3rd doctor gave me basically the same response. Finally, feeling hopeless, I nonetheless called Paradise and saw Dr. Vaughn. After more x-rays within minutes of seeing me he told me what needed to be done and scheduled me for first R foot surgery about 3 weeks ago. Although still in boot, of course pain from just surgery, I cannot believe how much better I already am! Further, I have never experienced such an awesome office staff in my life! Thank God for this amazing practice and doctor. Amazing!
