Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Had my knee surgery in 1987. Torn cal and meniscus tear have not had one single issue with the surgery since. Would highly recommend to anyone needing surgery to go see Dr. Scott

He has been my doctor for about 26 years. I have needed several surgeries due to injuries and genetic hip degeneration. He has performed right and left total hip replacements. Right hip 7 years ago and left hip 7 weeks ago. No problems at all with either. ACL repair on left knee several years ago. No problems at all. Right shoulder reconstruction. Again no problems. He cares about his patients and so does his staff. I would never consider any other doctor for me or my family. He is awesome!

Outstanding physician and surgeon. My wife and I have had several operations preformed by him with great success. I rate Dr. Scott as one, if not the best surgeons who has ever performed surgical procedures on me and my wife and highly recommend him to anyone requiring any type of orthopedic or general surgery.
