Vaughan Paul A, MD

I had an appointment with Dr Vaughan, and my experience fell short of anything but a minimum number of stars.
*** Although I saw no other patients in the office, it took 1 ½ hours for the doctor to appear
*** There were no diplomas or certifications in sight. Every wall that I saw was empty.
*** The doctor runs a cash only business. Who even does this kind of thing?
I have a trigger finger, and I need it fixed. Dr Vaughan was going to do the work. He ordered some pre-​op tests…
*** urine
*** standard blood panel
*** chest x-​ray, although it’s a mystery how a chest x-​ray would benefit a doctor doing hand surgery with a local anesthetic
*** HCV. Test for Hepatitis C. Really? Why not test for dengue fever?
The lab messed up it’s blood panel test. I went back the next day. Their second try was okay, and there were no surprises in the results.
After a couple of days, I got a certified letter, accusing me of non-​compliance with Vaughan’s pre-​op tests. The letter told me to go elsewhere for my hand surgery. The doctor fired me because Labcorp screwed up a blood test.
It made no sense until a friend suggested it was homophobia or «AIDS-​phobia.» There was nothing overt proving that was the case. All I will say is that the reception I got at Paul Vaughan’s office was consistent with that explanation.
