Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Scarborough performed an outpatient breast biopsy at St. Francis Emory Breast Center on me. He didn’t know my name, nor history of my second ultrasound sizing and location referral for this visit. My wait time was more than 45 minutes for a 3minute pop in visit with a student to tell me I would be scheduled. On the day of my procedure late again, he ungloved gloved and took a cell call in the hallway while I laid exposed. On his return without any communication I was injected locally at the breast site, when I complained of pain he jabbed me two more times. My follow-up vs with a student, didn’t address me by name, didn’t look at the massive edematous bruised breast in 3 minutes told me after I request examination stated patients have had more worse than that. Wasted visited as I had reviewed my results on the patient portal. I will “Never” use him again and advise you seek a more professional surgeon should you ever need this procedure. Billed for a long visit on my EOB.

I went to see Dr. Scarborough for a lump that was just under my skin on top of my breast. He told me he would do an ultrasound the following week. He could have done it that day, but of course then he wouldn't get paid for an extra visit. So I went back the next week only to be told that my lump was too close to my lungs to be seen on ultrasound. He wanted me to have surgery instead for a biopsy. I went to a breast cancer surgeon instead of a general surgeon like he is and got an ultrasound.
