Dr Scott examined me and gave me an oral steroid. It was a 6 day process with the steroids and worked while I was taking them, but after I completed them, the pain came back. He asked me to get a CT scan, but I was unable to scheShow moredule the appointment because my mother passed away in Pennsylvania and I had to go back there. I called the office this morning (08/10) to see if I could still schedule the CT scan. I am able to. I explained the situation and was a bit disturbed. The person on the other end of the line showed little or no emotion or empathy and didn't offer any condolences for my situation. It may not mean much to people, but it was important to me. My thoughts on this is that if people don't show empathy for a loss, how can they possibly care about my ailment. The way people are treated shows character, whether good or bad. I am still going to give a 5 star review to the doctor, but the staff needs to be more friendly and tuned into the patient and what they are going through.
Friday March 26 I had a bad fall from my bike and landed with full impact on my right side. I had a reassuring consultation with Dr Douglas Scott this last Tuesday morning. I will see him again on April 16th at the HHI office. Show moreI wanted to add that I was most impressed with the HH hospital ER team that looked after me on Friday afternoon/ evening- notably Dr Urbanski, whose diagnosis - from looking at X-ray and CAT scan - was spot on. What impressed me even more is the fact that Dr Urbanski texted Dr Scott on Friday to let him know; principally that I would not need surgery and that the extensive surgery that Dr Scott performed on my right shoulder two years ago was still intact...Dr Scott confirmed this in my consultation with him. Rarely have I seen or experienced this excellent level of communication between medical professional. Very reassuring. I hope I can continue to receive the help I need the next few weeks so I can return fully to my routine notably my daily ocean swim which is essential to my health and well-being.

Loved his expertise and personality! He was amazing!
Awesome doc.
Fantastic orthopedic surgeon!!! Performed L/S rotator cuff and biceps tears for me. Cheers
I just had a six week follow up appointment with Dr. Scott. I’m very impressed by how well he listens and he’s willing to answer my many questions. I’m also impressed with his skill as a surgeon. I highly recommend him and his practice.
Good visit
I got the report that I was looking for. it was satisfied that the result was what I was told that it would be.just waiting on the out come to be the same.
Dr. Scott is very nice and came up with a game plan to fix my elbow within minutes. Im grateful to have him as my doctor.
Dr. Scott & staff are great. My messages were always answered very timely. Dr. Scott was very caring & took his time explaining options. My surgery went very well. Thank you
My first meeting with Dr. Scott left me at ease with the medical decisions made. He is very personable, compassionate and I had been referred to him by friends who thought highly of his surgical skills. I’m very glad to have him as my doctor now.
Dr. Scott was efficient, polite, got to the root of my issue, Ordered the proper testing This was my first visit, but I have confidence in him already
Very pleased with the care that I was given each time I was there. Dr Scott was just wonderful, living up to his reputation that was conveyed to me by several people, and each in the medical field, those who would know! He was apologetic for not being in the room for the brief time that I waited for him, which I appreciated, though I didn’t even feel that it was necessary. He is very personable, kind, knowledgeable, & informative. I highly recommend him for a shoulder injury or issue!
We had a fast and easy check in. DR Scott, was as always warm, friendly and exceedingly professional. He is truly an excellent physician who cares for all of his patients. He is the BEST!
Very good an kind
The office staff is very friendly and professional
I was vacationing in Hilton Head, SC when I fell off my bike and fractured my elbow. A very kind P.A. recommended Dr. Scott an orthopedic elbow specialist! I could not believe my luck, office visit, surgery, and
Gets straight to the point and has a great patient personality
Arrived 15 minutes prior to scheduled time, waited a full hour before being seen. There were only 3 people in the waiting room! Front office staff was lethargic, at best.
Dr. Scott is the best! I started seeing him 10 years ago for right shoulder issues. He performed rotator cuff repair surgery. Later on, he did a left shoulder replacement. Most recently, he did a right shoulder replacement. He is careful to present more conservative options first. He is very kind and patient. Dr. Scott is a highly skilled surgeon with a lovely warm interpersonal manner. I highly recommend Dr. Scott!
Great doctor who listens to patient and discussed solutions.
Dr. Scott is personable and knowledgable. I felt like I was in good hands.
65 year old aging athlete with typical arthritis and a recent pickleball knee injury which had me sidelined. Jamie the PA recommended MRI of both knees to have a better idea of what was going on. Based on same, consult with Dr. Scott who recommended arthroscopic surgery. Had both done with a 3 week span with little discomfort and fantastic results! Great practice
Dr.Scott and staff were all courteous, professional, helpful, and my time there was well spent. Bob Gregory
Great surgeon, professional, caring. Will use him again for the other shoulder.
Positive with a welcoming smile! Will definitely follow-up his recommendations.
Dr Scott takes time to listen to my concerns, not only that he really cares about his patients. He is knowledgeable and wants you to understand what he is doing with you (you don’t have to guess what’s going on) the staff is great, and I would strongly recommend Boss Orthopedic to anyone.

Dr. Scott is the BEST!!! He has done two shoulder replacements and a rotator cuff repair for me. So I think I am qualified to rate him. All of my surgeries healed quickly and I experienced a minimal amount of pain with each. He is kind, compassionate and recommends what he feels is best for the patient.
Describes condition, listens, answers questions.
First time at BOSS Orthopedics. Good experience and look forward to future consultations.
Very good service I recommend everybody good work.Wendell Brown
