Dr.Scott’s demeanor is not only professional, but compassionate with a sprinkling of humor. I had some reason to reach out to his office with a concern a few days after surgery and within 30 minutes the pharmacy sent me a text thaShow moret the script was ready. So, great service and a great team! I can’t sing a higher praise for Dr.Scott!

Great!
I felt at ease with Dr. Scott. I need surgery and he has put my mind at ease. Great kind, caring and professional service.
Dr. Scott is always so kind and has a great Bedside manner! He’s very knowledgeable and I enjoy seeing him for my orthopedic needs.
Clearly outlined options and prognosis’. Confident in outcomes as well.
EVERYTHING from the time I checked in until the time I left was SO courteous and professional. Perfectly on time and so thorough. I left ALMOST forgetting I was in pain
As always, Dr Scott has reviewed my joint issues and what efforts have been made to address them!

Dr. Scott is very thorough with his examination and takes time with you to discuss your diagnosis and options for treatment if needed. Didn't rush and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Scott was great
Very Good
Always a pleasure to visit Dr. Scott. On time, thorough, personable. He is THE standard of shoulder surgeons on HHI. He did both of my wife's shoulders but mercifully only one of mine. Excellent work on all three surgeries.

Dr Scott it’s very approachable,very easy to talk to and excellent patient care.I would recommend him if you have any shoulder problems.
Professional….Great plan for wellness
DR Scott is a highly skilled and professional orthopedic surgeon who is well respected by his colleagues and patients. He is caring and very compassionate.
Knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He was willing to take the time to explain my injury and walk me through different courses of treatment. He was the second orthopedist I saw and Dr. Scott shared the MRI with me and described in layman’s terms what I was seeing. Lastly he recommended noninvasive treatment versus the surgery recommended by a different physician. Highly recommend Dr Scott for any orthopedic care!!
Excellent bedside manner, open to questions and very clear answerers
Excellent
The best orthopedic surgeon in the low country. Always a pleasant visit with Dr.Scott and his staff
