This was my second surgery with Dr Scott and to say that I am pleased is an understatement! He was very informative about my surgery and recovery; so I went in with my eyes wide open. From the initial consult to my postoperative aShow moreppointment I was well taken care of. No one wants to be in pain and having to have surgery can be traumatic, but Dr Scott and the team at BOSS did an excellent job helping me navigate this process.
Dr. Scott performed a complete shoulder replacement for my wife last year and did an amazing job. Now I require a complete shoulder replacement and didn’t hesitate one bit to contact Dr. Scott in order to get the surgery done. HShow moree provides excellent patient care and takes the time to explain every detail of the procedure and recuperation process! I highly recommend him to anyone requiring shoulder replacement surgery

His very nice and friendly
All details covered up until day of surgery. Staff available for contact for reassurance of concerns prior to surgery. I had confidence in Dr Scott. Brilliant care at Outpatient Surgery Center, especially by the Nurse, Rachel, specifically as assigned to me.
Dr. Scott is amazing. He has a tendency to talk kind of fast but he doesn't mind slowing down. He actually listens to his patients. He respects what the patient wants.
Well, it was only my second appt with Dr Scott. I like him, I will let him do a shoulder surgery on me. But it’s way too early in the journey for me to do an accurate review. He’s very smart, very personable, much better early impressions than some other local physicians.
Professional and nice facilities
Made sure I was comfortable going ahead very much satisfied
So very easy to talk to. Thorough in every detail. Encouraging.
Outstanding. Dr. Scott is the best

Dealt with my issue promptly.
I have known Dr. Scott for over 15 years. He is an excellent surgeon and doctor. As a person, I found him to be very kind and a patient listener.
Dr Scott has replaced one shoulder and I’m seeing him for the other. He has been excellent in addressing all my concern's, fantastic surgeon.
Dr Scott gave us the informative information that we needed. Thank you.
Excellent Dr. Very good at explaining the path forward.
Please tell him how much I appreciate his skill and his wonderful manner. Always cheerful and positive. Very supportive. Treats his patients like they’re a friend, not just a case.
It's always pleasant when I come to dr. Scott and Jamie office. They are very understanding and know exactly what they are doing. Love them and they staff.
Wonderful physician...thorough with an easy going demeanor
I was late for my appointment by an hour due to an error on my part and they were able to see me anyway. They were very friendly and helpful and a very pleasurable experience
Dr. Scott was very personable, knowledgeable and took the time to really listen. I highly recommend Dr. Scott.
Personable and good diagnosis
Dr. Scott was friendly and to the point. Offered good explanation of my condition and answered my questions.
Well informed decision with vital information provided.
Whenever I have an appointment with Dr. Scott I know that I will have a positive experience. During this appointment Dr. Scott reviewed my MRI results with me and as he always does made sure I understood the outcome. I have never left an appointment questioning anything. I highly recommend Dr. Scott.
