John David Scott Bariatric Surgeon

I met Dr. Scott for the first time in November of 2008 when I moved back home. I remember thinking he was quiet, but I think that may have been because the presentation was done by Dr. Bour. I went home that night not sure if surgery was for me. After thinking about surgery, researching surgery, I finally joined the program in March of 2012. I started the group sessions, attended all my appointments with the psychologist and nutritionist, and started keeping track of my weight. I met Dr. Scott and my first impression is he is very informative about every aspect of this process. He was a straight shooter and that I admire. He left me with no questions unanswered, he was very clear on his expectations, and I never felt like just a number. I felt very confident in his ability to keep me safe before, during, and after surgery. He made precautionary calls such as putting me in ICU due to my pre-surgery weight and even preparing me for the possibility of rehabilitation hospital. Dr. Scott emphasized walking (exercise), following the program, and contacting him/staff if there were any questions after surgery. I couldn't imagine a better surgeon!

Dr Scott has more than exceeded our expectations. My husband and I chose him as our bariatric surgeon and we are very pleased with his bedside manner, support and his whole attitude toward us. Our surgeries were on june 13, 2012. He operated on my husband first then I was next. Both of our surgeries we're successful and we are so thankful to him for how well he has cared for us, even returning a call at 3 in the morning that turned out to be gas pains. His nurse called the next morning to recheck to make sure my husband was ok. Thanks to all of the staff at UMG Bariatric Solutions for being our new lifetime family and especially Dr Scott for giving us this new tool so that my husband and I can have a healthier happier life together!
