He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Tulsa, where he received his BS in Biology and went on to be a cardiovascular technologist assisting in heart catheterization and pacemaker implantations in the hospital’s Heart Cath Lab. After three years, Dr. Vaughn went on to complete his Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Tufts University in Boston, MA.

First time mom taking my 15 month old to his first dentist appointment and it could not have gone any better!! We absolutely love it here, the waiting room is 10000% kid friendly and the baby room is so cute. All staff was absolutely amazing at explaining things to me and making sure i understood everything.

Love this location I've been taking my daughter here for almost 2 years now. The staff and the doctor are always so nice and clearly communicate next steps and make sure me and her concerns are addressed each visit. Would recommend this place to anyoneโ—๏ธ

I’ve known this place for years and growing up going here has been amazing as a kid I was nervous about going to the dentist but overtime I went I felt more comfortable Because of the staff. They were excellent, caring, and gentle! And they still are!! The new dentists and hygienists that I have seen recently since the renovation are kind like all the ones I’ve met growing up and I appreciate everyone’s service I feel so glad to have such a supportive community and relaxed atmosphere.

I can’t recommend Grow Pediatrics enough. Every visit is a success thanks to the doctor’s deep expertise and wonderful personality. It’s rare to find someone who is both a brilliant medical professional and so skilled at communicating with families. Great service every single time!

This was our first visit to this dental office for my two sons, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Everyone was welcoming and helpful as soon as we walked in. They have a play area to keep kids engaged while waiting, plus a free little library where kids can take a book, which I thought was such a nice touch. The staff is also bilingual, which is a huge plus. We didn’t have to wait long at all, and they were able to see both of my kids at the same time. For my youngest, who is 2, they even had a quiet room for him, which really helped make him comfortable. Everyone was super kind and patient. I’m so glad we chose this office and definitely recommend it to other parents.
