Patient Stories
See what our surgery patients have to say.
I am very nervous about surgery. After the initial visit with Dr. Pence, her personality put me at ease. Most surgeons and doctors make you feel uncomfortable, but Dr. Pence is more like a family member that you feel comfortable being around. If I ever need another surgery, I hope she is the one in the operating room!

Dr. Vaughn is a great listener and so easy to talk with. I felt like we were in this together. When I called to get an appointment, it was at their busiest time of the year. I was seen pretty quickly. I very much appreciate that.

Dr Pence is an amazing doctor who takes time to listen and answer your concerns. I only see her once a year as a follow up but she makes me feel like an old friend who she sees regularly. She is warm and compassionate doctor.

How do I obtain x-ray and test results or health reports from my physician?
Your physician’s office can provide you with films, slides or reports, depending upon your need. Just contact their office and provide the required release form. It is helpful to call ahead so files are ready in time for your appointment.
