Our Clients Say it Best

  • "I can’t thank Barbara enough for relieving my chronic back pain. Her exemplary ability to assess my physical needs, create my customized treatment plan, and provide me with constant encouragement throughout the process has improved my life significantly. The result of working with her is a much healthier and pain-free lifestyle, and I am forever grateful for her assistance!"–A.P.

  • "I have had significant back problems for the last twenty years, and have worked with a number of Physical Therapists during that time. By far, Barbara Vaughan has been and continues to be the best. She has consistently delivered exceptional treatment, well beyond anything I have received in the past. Her knowledge of human anatomy is extensive, her knowledge of various treatment options is the same, and her approach to treatment is both professional and caring. I value her \services so much that I have followed her to her new position, even though that has required additional time driving. I would recommend her unconditionally to anyone seeking a true professional in physical therapy" –M.S.

  • "It was a good day that I met Barbara Vaughan (Doctor of Physical Therapy) who was offering complimentary evaluations at my country club. My aching knee had been growing more painful and I was eager to find a solution. Barbara diagnosed the problem to likely be a torn meniscus. She skillfully examined my knee and made several specific remarks about the diagnosis, each which were recited verbatim by the Orthopedic Surgeon when I went in for my first exam, and again after x-rays and an MRI. I ultimately had surgery and am very close to full recovery. I am thankful for Barbara Vaughn, DPT, and highly recommend her." –J.K.
