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.

Foot swollen and limping, he looked at it and pressed here and there but didn't hurt anymore than it already did. Didn't ask me to walk or would have seen my distress. My wife had me go to the ER 2 days earlier due to severe pain from pop in foot. I agreed to a MRI even though it's $$$ but I want to get over this. Said he would script me some Vicoden. Got to the drugstore and nothing, figured last patient of the day. I call and asked in the morning and got a notification that he had scripted 75mg of Diclofenac on top of my 50mg 3x day Not going back I don't want to burn up my kidneys.Yes the 50 per day was on my med list

Dr. Scott listened to my concerns and answered my questions. Then he provided options for me and suggested a local place to get either inserts or a new pair of shoes, which I did.

My initial appt with Dr. Scott involved him touching my foot for 1 second and assuming it was a stress fracture.He suggested 2 wks in a boot an ER dr gave me. After that was unsuccessful, he said he would order an MRI and put me in a more restricting boot. A week later, my referral was never done, and he was on vacation for another week. Dr. Scott suggested physical therapy after MRI showed "nothing" (pcp says otherwise.)The referral he actually put in this time was for "ankle." Going elsewhere.
