Dr Scaife is rude and couldn’t care less about the patients she operates on. Have the decency to show some thoughtfulness to the cancer patients were dealing with. You don’t have to be their friend but you do have to show respect. Local anesthesia means that we can hear you in the horrible things you were saying about us. So rude!

This is a word we didn't have any expectation to hear when my husband was diagnosed with cancer. Dr. Scaife was the third physician we met with and she was confident she could help us. Words can not describe the faith we put into her hands. In one of our darkest times she lead the way. She cares about her patients entire well being. She was able to do what others weren't willing to try. From the depth of my heart I am grateful for her knowledge, skills, and sincere compassion. What a special person. I would recommend her to anyone and would definitely let her be the leader if you find yourself on this journey. Thank you Dr. Scaife!!!??

This so called dr is very rude & arrogant. Absolutely no bedside manners or compassion. I thought maybe she feels helpless &doesnt want to get "attached" to her patients but that is not the case. She thinks she can talk down to patients & her fellow drs. She was very rude & demeaning to the students training under her. She does not explain my condition or treatment for me to understand. She wants to seem so brilliant that it's all above our heads. Steer clear of this so called dr!

Very poor follow-up actually none. Does surgery and drops all follow-up on unskilled staff that are rude. I have had problems since surgery indicating that it was not done correctly. I would not recommend this surgeon!!! She is only concerned with money and her title, has NO compassion or feeling for cancer patients. My vet has more compassion!
