Having grown up on the Oregon Coast, it is there that Dr. Vaughan learned the value of an active lifestyle. He remained in Oregon for much of his education, receiving his undergraduate degree from the University of Portland and his medical degree from the Oregon Health and Science University School of Medicine.
Thereafter, he completed his fellowship in anesthesiology and interventional pain management at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. During this fellowship, he learned of the privilege of taking care of patients from one of his esteemed mentors. In Dr. Vaughan’s words, the experience “taught [him] the importance of the physician-patient relationship, and that the establishment of open forms of communication between patients and providers is key for providing effective chronic pain management.”
Dr. Vaughan actively applies these principles to his work today. For example, he believes transparency with patients is of utmost importance and that providing effective treatment depends on open communication. In addition, he deeply values being able to bring cutting-edge, evidence-based interventional pain medicine into his practice.
Licensed to practice medicine in Idaho, Dr. Vaughan is affiliated with St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center and St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center.
Board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine, he is a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA). The mission of the ABA is to advance the highest standards of the practice of anesthesiology.
Interventional pain management or interventional pain medicine is a medical subspecialty which treats pain with invasive interventions such as facet joint injections, nerve blocks, neuroaugmentation, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, nucleoplasty, endoscopic discectomy, and implantable drug delivery system. An interventional pain management physician focuses on the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of pain.
Having always enjoyed being active, Dr. Vaughan enjoys spending time in the foothills with his two golden retrievers, running, hiking, and mountain biking. He also enjoys snowboarding, surfing, and is grateful for all the recreational opportunities Boise has to offer. He is also excited to be near his family, which has also relocated to Boise.
