James Stephen Scott Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

Dr. Scott has been most Thurogh. I have learned things about my lapband that were never told to me. His group is all about safety. Many tests, lots of instruction and many other Drs involved. He is very knowledgable on WLS, even teaches the laproscopic proceedures. His associate travels aroiund the world teaching special techneques. He even has many patents on specialized equipment he has invented to perfect the laprascopic proceedure. I reccommend them to anyone.

Dr Scott is a very busy man. His office and staff are well trained and courteous. Because Dr Scott is a highly sought after doctor your office wait may be a little lengthy. I have to say that I saw the other staff in his office more than I saw him. But overall I would say that he runs a tight ship. I am grateful that I was put in contact with Dr Scott and his office and all the information that was given to me on my new journey.

The Bariatric Services in Columbia Missouri do a great job!! I had some complications 2 weeks after my surgery and they were right on top of it. I never had trouble getting through to the Bariatric resident at the hospital.

Dr. Scott is very professional and caring. He has a strong program and believes no one should consider the surgery if they are not fully prepared to follow the program for the rest of their life. He is an excellent surgeon and gave me a the chance to live a much healthier life.

I met with Dr. Scott for my first consult appointment. Dr. Scott took his time and went over all that could happen with this surgery. There were several thing I have to do before he will do the surgery. I was impressed that he wasnt the type of Dr. that just wanted to get ya on the operating table. He's genuinely concerned for his patients. And wants them to make the most out this tool. I would recommend Dr. Scott to anyone!!!

Dr. Scott is a fantastic surgeon! He's very kind and listens to any problems or questions I have. I had my surgery with him in February 2005 in Columbia, MO at the university hospital. His office staff and the hospital staff were wonderful. Natalie (nutritionist) is wonderful!! I email her with questions all the time and she always responds quickly. I highly recommend Dr. Scott and his staff in Columbia they are all fantastic, i had no complications, and i'd do it all over again in a second!!

I met Dr. Scott at my consult today. I was very impressed. He was very nice and was also eager to answer any questions that I had. He has a wonderful personality and that really helped me to relax. His entire office was fantastic through out my process so far. After attending Dr. DeLaTores seminar and meeting with Dr. Scott I am 110% sure I have made the correct choice in choosing my surgeons!

I was very impressed with Dr. Scott from the beginning and had complete faith that he knew what he was talking about. He is very matter of fact in describing the surgery and makes it clear that he is only giving the patient a weight loss tool - it is up to the patient to follow his well outlined program to be successful. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering the surgery. As well, his coordinator, Natalie, is outstanding. She is available for questions and having undergone the procedure herself, is fully aware of what is going on, etc....

My first impression of him was that he was very knowledgable about bariatric surgery. I have kept the same impression thru my journey. I absolutely love his office people (especially Natalie). She is the nicest person. Dr. Scott highly recommends aftercare and he wants to see you 1 month post-op, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. Then they have several support groups that he encourages you to attend. He is very explicit with the risks of the surgery. I think the world of Dr. Scott. He is very good at his profession and would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Scott has been very informative with every step of the procedure. He has a great bed side manner. He answered all the questions I had, though I didn't have alot because they were answered during the conferences.I' d rate Dr Scott up there with a 10 plus. His staff is great with helping with the whole procedure.
