In his free time, Dr. Archibald enjoys the outdoors, snowboarding, running, mountain biking and spending time with his family. Dr. Archibald grew up in Utah, and moved his family to Boise in 2007 - they love it here!

Philosophy of Care

My philosophy is based on the basic tenant of Osteopathic Medicine. I believe that the body has an amazing ability to heal itself and if we live a healthy lifestyle, eat properly and stay fit, our bodies remain healthy. I practice preventive medicine, ensuring your child's Well Child check-ups are inclusive and comprehensive, and that immunizations are kept up-to-date. I try to treat the body as a whole instead of just focusing on one symptom or complaint. I practice evidence-based medicine and avoid unnecessary antibiotics. Medications do play a role in healthy living but I am also open to other modalities of treatment.

Conditions Treated

  • Acute & chronic condition care
  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Colds & flu
  • Immunizations
  • Nutrition
  • Well-child visits

I'm happy with Dr. Archibald's service.

08/30/2024

Dr Archibald always explains things to my daughter, at her level, and to me, and makes sure we both understand. I feel he always takes extra time with us and never feel rushed although I know he is busy!

08/16/2024

He is my favorite dr.

08/16/2024

Tendency is we spend more time waiting for the doctor then speaking with him. It’s pretty much the norm everywhere though

08/13/2024

Always a wonderful experience

08/13/2024

I honestly only have raving reviews of Dr. Archibald. I feel lucky to have found him as a pediatrician, and plan to keep him as a provider for as long as we are able!

08/13/2024

simply the best!

07/26/2024

I always give the best reviews for dr archibald but I really believe he is the best of the best. We never feel rushed although I know he has other patients and he listens and explains everything to my daughters at their level as well as to me at a more adult level. I can always call and get a same day response and/or appointment sooner then other places. Just a great experience always!

07/18/2024

Excellent care as always. Just feel like staff is always a little rushed, but I understand they have a busy schedule.

Thank you for taking care of our children for the last 15 years. My daughter recently turned 18 and decided to stay with her doctor for "a little while longer'" because she feels comfortable with her. :)

04/12/2024

Dr archibald is great! He always listens to my daughter as well as myself.

04/08/2024

El doctor Archivald es muy buen doctor, explica todo de manera que se pueda entender y es muy paciente, y se toma el tiempo suficiente para revisar al paciente.

We love Dr. Archibald!

02/19/2024

The nurse didn’t seem to out enough Vaseline on the diaper, so when we got home and took the dip we off, it his newly circumcised site got stuck, and began to bleed quite a bit. This caused us a lot of panic. Luckily Dr Archibald had told us what to do if that happened overall I think it could be absolutely been avoided had the nurse been more aware about the location and amount of Vaseline

We LOVE Dr. Archibald and have for years. Keep up the amazing work with our kiddos!

01/11/2024

We were a late for our appointment, and I felt awful about that bc I know it pushes the office behind. Dr Archibald and his team were very understanding and accommodating. That is very helpful, especially as a first time parent, trying to figure out how long it takes to leave the house with an infant

He is matter of fact and caring at the same time. Always relieves her stress of coming in and makes her feel important and heard. Explains things to her in a way she accepts. Couldn’t be happier with Dr Archibald!

10/31/2023

Love that he always reminds my kids of the body's basic needs, sleep, water, exercise, eat healthy and kind things for others.

10/17/2023

My daughter asked for a female to do the private portion and that was not granted.

06/25/2022

It was a very good visit

06/16/2022

Doctor was very short with his answers. Didn't show compassion or respect for my mental health. Didn't listen to your concerns . Rude to parent and child.

04/28/2022

So good, love this provider!

04/19/2022

*Dr. Archibald is always amazing!

04/17/2022

We love our doctor!

04/06/2022

My entire family loved *Dr. Archibald! Always a pleasure to see him. My kids are never upset about going to the dr.!

04/05/2022

*Dr. Archibald is FANTASTIC. I have told many friends and family about him.

03/17/2022

We love *Dr. Archibald. He is thorough, empathetic, & very knowledgeable. He doesn't talk down to us & always gives us parents a boost in telling us how well we're doing. Parents need that reassurance some... most times.

01/24/2022

I had some frustration after I left the visit. The PA asked if I had any questions for the doctor and next time I won't tell her my questions. I told her 3 questions and either those were not relayed to the doctor or the doctor chose not to address my questions because I had to ask each one of those questions as he was getting ready to leave the visit. It is a waste of my time to relay my questions to the PA if I am again going to have to relay the questions to the doctor because he doesn't take it upon himself to address my questions. My frustration was because I forgot an additional question that I told the PA because the doctor was on his way out of the office. I felt rushed and partially unheard.

01/05/2022

*Dr. Vaun Archibald has been such an amazing and caring physician throughout our kids childhood. I would highly recommend him!

He seemed to be a bit rude, he is not our regular doctor but we had to see him for a clearance for dental work. He seems to show lack of understanding for families and made me feel worse about a situation that he knew nothing about, he also gave comments regarding dental work when he is not a dentist.

11/12/2021

He's is always respectful, kind, and gives great objective advice

10/23/2021

Wait time was longer than normal, but not unexpected for the last appointment of the day.

09/27/2021

Dr. Archibold was amazing, I felt listened to and validated in the ways that I really needed in this very tenuous time. He related with his own small children which allowed me to feel less alone. I left feeling much better than when I arrived...thats what we would always hope for!

09/22/2021

Was good. Seems he cared about what would work best for my daughter.

09/16/2021

Excellent communication, addressed all concerns and questions.

06/14/2021

My kids have been patients of Dr. Archibald's for over 13 years. He is a fantastic physician.

06/08/2021

Even after insurance the bill was almost $200. Way too expensive.

06/04/2021

Dr. Archibald listened to our concerns. he was kind, knowledgeable and empathetic. he put my son at ease as he was nervous and embarrassed to be talking about his depression. we came up with a solid plan and feel supported.
