Dr. Scott is a friendly middle aged man. He was very informative and really knows his stuff regarding insurance and the surgery itself. I was pleased with his care and his office staff.

Dr. Scott seemed very nice and knowledgable. I have not had any complications since my surgery 2 years ago. I am very pleased with his skills and care. He, and his team, have a well balanced pre-op education for all patients to be aware of complications and lifestyle changes.rn

I've only had two brief meetings with Dr. Scott but so far by I like him. The last meeting we had I mentioned that I was having trouble with my insurance company. (My PPO is going to stop covering 100% of the cost of bariatric surgery at the end of the year so they were putting me off even though my case was cut and dried). Dr. Scott recommended that I mention legal action the next time I called, so I did. I was approved the next day. My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 18th. I'll write more after that.

Dr. Scott is very nice and professional and helpful to answer any questions I had both before and during and now, after surgery. I felt good choosing him from the beginning, even though it took a little longer to get in to see him. I thought, why mess around, this is my life we are talking about...and this whole thing will affect my family for good or bad--a lot depending on how good the surgeon is. Well he is all that I hoped, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Scott is a very nice man, polite, soft spoken and very imformative. I would definately recommend him to those interested in a kind, compassionate doctor with a great bedside manner.:)
