Dr. Scarborough doesn't have much to say but I got a sence of real, true caring from him. His staff couldn't be nicer. They also seem to care about you and don't treat you as just another patient.

After attending a mandatory seminar, I was "tested" by one of his staff and asked to draw a picture of the by-pass. They make sure you really understand what is going to happen.

I don't usually make reccomendations to others, but in this case I feel comfortable telling you to go see Dr. Scarborough.

Dr. Scarbrough to me was shy, very soft spoke. But he was also very nice as well. Till this day my impression about him as not changed. he office staff is very nice and funny. the nurses are very soft ( not rough when taking you vitals.) There is really nothing to say about dr. scarbrough , other than he is very nice. Going for my post op visit, I lost 18 pounds and he was very excited for me. The hospital (Herman) offers a support group. When i first visited him he was very instructional about the surgery, he even drew me a picutre. I would rate him a 10!

My first impression of Dr. Scarborough was "wow he is really cute and he is very sweet and considerate". My impression hasn't changed, he is wonderful. The staff in his office are equally wonderful (Connie & Monique are a godsend). I honestly can't think of anything that I don't like about Dr. Scarborough or his staff. They really emphasize on aftercare programs, buddy list, wonderful support groups. Dr. Scarborough is very explicit on the risks of the surgery including having you answer a questionaire and actually have you draw a diagram of the surgery he will be performing. The entire office (MD & Staff) I would have to rate them a 10+, very competent with great bedside manners.

The first time I met Dr. Scarborough was at one of his monthly seminars. I listened intently on what he had to say but was not convinced he was the best surgeon for me until I hear testimonies from his patients. This man was put on earth to help people. He has a very carring nature. His office staff absoultly rock! They have everything down so that there are no delays, all questions get answered, and you know what to expect for each step of the way.

Dr. Scarborough is very quiet. He is willing to answer any question, even the hard ones. He thoroughly explained the risks and benefits and made sure I understood what was about to take place. I found him to be pleasant and easy to talk to.

His staff seems interested in each patient and CONSTANTLY encourage everyone to join a support group, take your medications, EAT PROTEIN FIRST, and back-off carbs!

My first impression was good because, right as he walked in the office area he gave you a hand shake that made you feel welcomed.
My impression changed over time as he explained what the procedure and what kind of thing could happen. I was glad he was my doctor because he knew what he was talking about and let you know to.
His staff are the best. They know what they are doing to.
I'm not sure what I like least.
Him and staff make sure you know what you are getting into.
He does emphasize aftercare buy letting you know how important it is and what can happen if you do not take care of your self.
Yes, after the

I THOUGHT DR. SCARBOROUGH WAS A VERY NICE PERSON WHEN I FIRST MEET HIM, AND NOW I REALIZE MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF HIM WAS CORRECT. HE AND HIS OFFICE STAFF REALLY CARE ABOUT THE PATIENTS AND ARE VERY KIND TO ALL. THE ONLY THING ABOUT HIM IS HE DOESN'T TALK MUCH, BECAUSE HE IS ALWAYS VERY BUSY. ANYONE COMING TO SEE HIM SHOULD KNOW THAT HE WILL ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND MAKE YOU FEEL AT EASE, BUT DOES NOT HAVE TIME FOR IDLE CHATTING. THE AFTERCARE PROGRAM THEY HAVE ME ON IS WORKING WONDERS WITH ME. CONNIE IS IN CHARGE OF THIS PROGRAM AND IS ALWAYS AVAILIBLE TO YOU TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND HELP YOU THROUGH THE ROUGH TIMES. ONE SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT DR. SCARBOROUGH WILL GO OVER WITH YOU IN GREAT DETAILS OF THE RISK OF SURGERY. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LISTEN CAREFULLY TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY AND FOLLLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS. OVERALL, OUT OF A POSSIBLE 10, WITH 10 BEING THE GREATEST, I RATE HIM A 10. THAT IS BECAUSE WHATEVER HE MAY LACK IN PATIENT INTERVENTION, HE MORE THAN MAKES UP IN THE SKILLFULLNESS OF HIS HANDS. BUT HIS GREATEST ASSETT, IN MY OPINION, IS HIS SURGICAL COMPETENCE, ALTHOUGH HE WILL ALWAYS TREAT YOU WITH TOTAL RESPECT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE.

He was a very quiet, but he answered all my questions. His staff was great very helpful.

Well after my pre op visit I feel more confident in him. (not that I did not before this just I had not talked to him much). But his nurse (or right hand women) Connie was great she answered all my questions and fears. I was so glad I got to talk to her and my husband was there to hear everything she had to say. Then at the hospital they just kept going on and on about how great Dr. S was and how I was lucky to have him. So I feel really good about this. So we will see how he does lol.

I attended a seminar in Oct., 2003, and Dr. Scarborough was one of the doctors. I spoke with him afterwards, and was impressed. Upon having a consultation with him, I feel comfortable with him. He gave good information, and seemed to know his stuff. He's young, but I know he's done quite a few revisions, which is what I'll be having.

He explained the surgery, said he felt that he could still do lap RNY, even thought I've had previous surgery, and also explained the risks. I'm still comfortable with my choice for him as my surgeon.

He is very quiet. But you know he knows what he is doing.. His work is competent and I loved having him for my surgeon. I have nothing to compare him to.. but I like him.
Everything just went flawlessly. Connie Pollard is great..if you get to talk to her. She is busy, but very competent when you get to speak to her. The other office staff is very busy, but adequate. I have my first follow up in a few days but I foresee nothing but good things. I highly recommend him.
