I've had the unfortunate need to see Dr Vaughn for a broken arm and Dr Sheppit for shoulder replacement. I couldn't have been happier with both Doctors and my end results. DR Sheppit did a complete shoulder replacement early December 2024. If I couldn't see the fine scar, I wouldn't know it was done. 6 months later, I have excellent mobility, good strength and zero pain. Thanks so much. Jim Short

My personal experience here has been nothing short of wonderful! My surgeon Dr Vaughn and his PA Lacey have been so good to me, their teams have made me feel cared for and like I matter. Also, my occupational therapist Aaron has been so wonderful, he’s patient and kind and works with what I have and makes me feel confident in my abilities to heal. I would highly suggest this team for a broken bone, or any applicable need! Also the front desk has a lot of sweet people, Nicole being one of my favorites! I cannot recommend this place enough. :)

100% recommend! From the door person checking temperatures, to the surgeons and physical therapists, every staff member I have interacted with has helped me with patience, professionalism, and kindness. I had a comminuted, displaced fracture of my left clavicle, along with a collapsed lung and broken rib from a horse accident. Dr. Shepet explained in our initial consultation why surgery was suggested (greater than 100% displacement in my case- meaning the broken ends of my clavicle were not touching, and likely wouldn't heal anatomically correctly) and what the procedure would entail. All of my questions he- my surgeon... not his assistant, but the man who would fix my collarbone- answered fully and completely, without once speaking down to me, or making me feel my concerns were unwarranted or silly. After deciding this surgery was best for me, the steps leading up to surgery day were well-defined and simply laid out for us during scheduling. We knew where to go, not just the address, and once again, any and all questions were met with kind and complete answers. We scheduled everything right then and there, from covid test, to surgery day and initial follow-up... once again with my surgeon himself... and first my physical therapy. Until then, I'd never had surgery, had never been anesthetized, and have sensitivities and allergies to certain drugs... and the preoperative nurses were aware and handled my needs effectively. The surgery itself was completed in less time than anticipated, and while the recovery process coming out of surgery was not fun for me, yet again the nursing staff was exemplar. Specifically my nurse Aleena, who held my hand, acted promptly when my pain was unbearable and made sure I felt safe and well-cared for. Again, having never been through any of this, I never felt scared or alone. Regaining mobility and strength were top of my list as I care for my three horses myself, and within a week of surgery I was able to get back to the majority of their care, limited only by my restrictions- up to a "cup of coffee" only with the left arm. Chase Neir has been my primary physical therapist and yet again, I've been met with nothing but kindness and professionalism during my journey back to full use of my left arm. I ask a lot of questions to be sure I fully understand each movement or exercise correctly, and every question, even the very silly ones have been answered tactfully and completely. His optimistic attitude is infectious and even though I'm not a sports professional in the typical sense of the word, never once did I feel like my healing and recovery was any less important to Chase than that of a professional athlete. I'm just over the ninety-day mark since Dr. Shepet fixed my clavicle fracture with a plate and screws, my restrictions are all lifted, and I am grateful for the part each staff member has played in my speedy and complete return to horse chores, trail riding, dressage, and the other hobbies I'm able to enjoy again like yoga and dance. There are two views shown, both before surgery and at my most recent consultation with Dr. Shepet.

Very easy to register and prepare for appointment. Nice atrium to wait (short). Appointment started on time. Very nice and professional Staff. Dr Anderson took his time and patiently went through my long history. Imaging and procedures done on the spot. Lots of sharing between Dr and patient and all staff to arrive at favorable plan going forward. I will be back.
