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.

I would recommend De. Scales without reservation!

Vasectomy Experience
I’m one of those people who's blood pressure rises the moment they walk into a hospital and needles freak me out. The actual procedure was incredibly smooth and Dr. Scales does a very good job of making it an easy process. I’ve actually recommended him to two friends based on the experience. If you need a vasectomy, Dr. Scales is a great physician.

A Double Portion
Dr. Scales is a double blessing… He is professional & he is friendly. Good “bedside manner” accounts for over 50% of a patient’s recovery.. I never feel rushed or that I’m taking too much of his time…He is one of the few, of my several MDs, that I feel completely comfortable/cared for…This helps me trust in his diagnoses/treatments more than any others…He has my personal interests in mind… In short, he CARES, period.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Scales has been providing urological care for me for 3+ years. Aside from being a top-notch physician, he is a very caring person. He never makes me feel rushed and always takes time to explain things and answer questions. Both he and his office staff are courteous and professional.
