On Monday I left a message requesting that an Rx refill for year's supply of minoxidil be sent to the Safeway pharmacy on San Antonio Road in Mountain View. I explicitly requested a return phone call confirming that the Rx had beeShow moren sent. I received no return phone call. On Tuesday morning I left a second message requesting a phone call confirming that the Rx had been sent. I received no phone call. On Tuesday mid-afternoon I spoke to Adriana. She told me that not one but TWO Rxs had been sent to the Safeway pharmacy. She told me that it is the policy of the practice not to confirm Rx orders. The Rx refill/procedure scheduling greeting clearly tells patients We will be calling you back just as soon as possible. The practice should honor explicit requests for a confirming return call. It also needs to change its Rx refill/procedure scheduling greeting so that patients are not mislead into expecting a callback. On the bright side, Adriana handled my third call expertly.
Dr Scott is an excellent cardiologist! For the first 2 yrs I saw him, he helped me reduce & stabilize my blood pressure. No more headaches, or feeling shaky! Now Dr Scott’s been working closely w/me the past 6 mo to get my #s bacShow morek in line, as for the 1st time in my 69yrs, I had several that were out of range/NOT good. He let me know in no uncertain terms what I needed to do & why. I appreciate him being very clear about the importance of having these values in range! And I especially value that he spends the time delineating how making specified changes in both diet & exercise will move things in the right direction for me to enjoy much better health. I respect his wealth of knowledge & therefore try hard to apply his directives.

No waiting. Friendly efficient tech nurse
He listens to what you have to say And tries to solve your issues! Very nice man also!!
My first appointment was with a technician but I was pleased with how I was greeted, etc.
Nice
Heart broken that he is retiring, happy for him of course, but the loss of quality provided to patients and the field, is irreplaceable. Dr. Neal Scott is one of the very best in his field and I'm so glad I was a patient of his. He is a remarkable man who has nothing but excellence to provide. He will be sorely missed.
The best of the best ALWAYS
Very happy with Dr Scott and his staff
It was awesome .
As always, efficient professional staff, caring doctors with friendly and kind advice. Doctor Scott will be missed as he moves on to a new adventure!
Dr. Scott has always had my best interest, and has taken such great care of me! So sad that he is leaving!
Dr. Neal Scott is an excellent doctor. He is both a brilliant doctor and a brilliant man. Dr. Scott saved my life a few times. That’s what he does, he saves the lives of his patients. I think there is no higher calling. Dr. Scott’s job is complex. And he is thoughtful, poised and compassionate.
Competent, listens to concerns, and takes necessary time to answer and explain his recommendations. Office and technician staff are excellent and run on time.
Great visit because we covered all aspects of my recent medical history.
Every single person at your office was pleasant, helpful and kind. Thank you!
I' out standing service
As always from Dr. Scott excellent care.
Thank you
Great as always!!!!! Dr Scott has been a lifesaver for me & look forward to every visit.
Always a pleasure to visit!

Short and sweet. No surprises. An efficient way to maintain a doctor-patient relationship.
He told me good news about my heart valve
Treated me so well with smiles I love my Doctor Scott. A kind knowledgeable concerned Doctor. I walk out of his office with gratitude
Dr. Scott is my trusted doctor for my cardiovascular.
Excellent
Great doctor. Great staff!
Amazing "bedside" manner. Dr. Scott makes me feel confident in about his recommendations and diagnosis. He listens well and I don't know i he keeps incredible notes or just has an amazing memory but he remembers things that came up in prior visits and how they relate to the current visit. He's a one-of-a-kind.
Its always a pleasure seeing Dr. Scott.
