My husband was worried about me and wanted to know how a cyst was benign without having it looked at. This question offended the doctor and immediately became arrogant and rude. He told my husband that I should go back to my primary and ask for a referral for a second opinion since I didn't trust him. Guess you can't ask doctors questions any longer. Not me. I ask questions and expect answers. He said his job is only to refer me to a PT or neurosurgeon.
I will never refer him to anyone.

I’m a new patient of Dr. K. Scott. I went expecting to undergo knee replacement surgery, but instead I was very pleased with the diagnosis given that alleviated the pain in my left knee. I found him to be a professional at what he does. I would highly recommend others. Thanks to you and your staff.

I have been a patient for a while with Dr. Scott he is always smiling listens to what brought you into see him. He really cares about you as his patient and works to help in the best way possible. I would gladly tell everyone about him. He is just a great doctor. I just saw him recently for test results and I had an idea of what to expect. I have a really messed up right knee and probably should be replaced but I am just months out of shoulder surgery and not ready for another one right now. So we are going to try a couple things first and see what happens before going for knee replacement.

Awesome! He was able to diagnose a non-displaced patellar fracture that 2 other surgeons had missed. His office was extremely helpful in getting me scheduled for an MRZi immediately, and Dr. Scott followed up on it within 2 hrs of it being done. I could not recommend a doctor any more highly.

Dr. Scott was very kind and patient. He explains what’s going on with you so that you understand. The staff is very kind and helpful, if you need to go get anymore xrays or MRI’S they are very helpful if needed. I highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Scott was very professional. He addressed my concerns and ordered an MRI for me. When I returned for my follow-up visit, Dr. Scott reviewed my MRI results and we discussed options. For me physical therapy was the logic course of action.

I have had two surgeries with Dr Scott. One on my hand and another on my knee. I had great results with both surgeries. (I would like to state that no matter how great the surgeon is...like Dr Scott..following the post op instructions and therapy is imperative to ensure the best results of a great surgeon. Responsibility does fall on me, as the patient, to follow instruction.) He is hands down one of the most caring, compassionate and skillful surgeons I have met. His office staff is friendly and truly care for the patients they care for. I cannot recommend Dr Scott more highly! Wish I could select more stars!

Had a revision surgery done after Dr. Scott had done initial surgery. Doctor who did revision stayed professional and did not bash Dr. Scott but you could tell he wanted to. Shouldn't be allowed to touch a patient.
