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.

Great service and care by Dr Scott
I absolutely love the BOSS staff. I have been a patient for years now & I have never had a bad experience. They also have an employee that is dedicated to working with the VA. Dr. Scott. What can I say about him? He is very honest. He does not & will not bullshit you. Which I for one appreciate. He has never talked down or at me. He has a tendency to talk really fast but all you need to do is ask him to slow down & he will. What you have to remember is that you are not his only patient. He does his best to take care of each & every patient. He is funny. He is kind. Needless to say, I just cannot say enough about Dr Scott & his staff.
Short wait. Dr. Scott gentle with injection. Helped a lot. Thank you.
Dr. Scott is kind, a great listener and, of course, with his level of knowledge, such a doctor isn’t easily found.
