All good. Great visit.
No waiting. Take. Early
This was my initial visit for this problem. Dr. Scott was previously my orthopedic doctor for a broken bone. I’m very confident this will be successful.
A very caring and involved doctor who actually listens and responds. A great surgeon also
Dr Scott was great. I actually forgot to ask him, but, he operated on my wife. Both of us are extremely pleased with him. Thank you Dr Scott
BOSS’ Doctor Scott is ethical, friendly, and professional. I’ve expressed gratitude to my primary physician for referring Dr Scott for shoulder issues.
Dr. Scott was very friendly, did not rush the appt, answered all my questions and explained post surgery protocol. Had a friendly chat for several mins prior to discussing my problem. Did not pressure me to have surgery!
Dr.Scott was very engaging gave me straight forward answers and recommendations.Very pleased with my visit and would definitely recommend him to others.
Previous procedures for other ailments were excellent. Unfortunately my recent "ulnar nerve" issue is alluding a satisfactory solution.
Dr Scott is a very attentive and Cares about his patients I like him very well

Dr. Scott is best orthopedic surgeon on Hilton Head, Bluffton and beyond. He listens to his patients and addresses their concerns. Recovery is fast and results are awesome. 5 Stars!
Dr Scott listened to my concerns, made recommendations to help with pain. I had an injection and will begin physical therapy.
5 years ago Dr. Scott replaced my left shoulder.It was a real success,full range of motion,quick painless recovery.I had 2 previous rotator cuff surgery’s that had longer and painful recoveries.I am now needing a right shoulder replacement and most certainly will have Dr Scott do the replacement.
Kind, knowledgeable, encouraging
