Dr Scott is the best pain specialist/ Dr I have ever had help me. He is straightforward, no nonsense and knows what he is doing. He has fought numerous times with my insurance to get me the treatment I need and has won every battle. He’s a good cat

Dr. Scott has been my husband's doctor for a number of years. I can't offer him enough praise. I don't know where he would be without him following an awful accident. I saw him myself today after a head injury. He was able to treat me and by this evening, I am pain free. He really cares about his patients.

Dr. Scott was very good. He pulled up my MRI and showed me the image where my problems all are from. The MRI was 7 months old. I felt like he is the first to address my problem. Not just give me drugs.

Excellent Dr. I feel very fortunate to have him as my pain Doctor. Takes the time to explain everything and makes the patient feel comfortable about the procedure

Dr. Scott was very thorough during my first visit, explaining the proposed procedure, and listening carefully to my concerns and goals. I definitely feel I am in good hands with Dr. Scott.

My only negative was the hour wait online for my teleconf. visit, with no one checking in to let me know anything. I had another appointment I had to leave for and ended up having to take this teleconference call from the car. The appointment itself went just fine. The 3 rating is reflective of the long wait with no contact by a staff person to let me know anything.

Dr. Scott AND ALL the staff are overwhelmingly gracious, helpful, compassionate, and understanding. Cannot say enough about the high level of expertise of Dr Scott and his staff. He is giving me “life changing” treatments for my back, hip, and knee.
