The PA examined me thoroughly. Dr Scott just regurgitated what the PA had already done. He made me feel I was wasting my time. Worried I had Parkinson's. Fortunately it was cervical dystonia

Dr. Scott was a real lifesaver for me. I was miserable & had been misdiagnosed by another practice. He & another MD spent about 2 hours w/me.VERY thorough, to say the least, & my problem was solved. I have a "follow-up" visit very soon, but everything is still great, thanks to Dr. Scott & his staff. I most highly recommend him to all, especially to those that feel they need a second opinion, as I did.

I received a thorough evaluation and very detailed discussion of symptoms. Dr. Scott was very easy to talk to,was very alert to symptoms, and explained areas of concern. Excellent in his knowledge of treatment plan, very positive, informative and exact in giving a plan of action with a followup, as well. A great expert who seems to be on the cutting edge of research. I am extremely pleased with his professionalism and knowledge.
