Dr. Scott earned his medical degree from Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2005. He completed his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Carolinas Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, followed by a sports medicine fellowship at Steadman Hawkins Orthopedic Clinic of the Carolinas in Greenville, South Carolina.

Dr Scott has a great reputation which is why I traveled [...] to see him rather than a physician in [...]. This was my 2nd visit. He seemed rushed & distant this time. He was nice & did explain my options. He said he would order MRI, left the room, & didn't return. It was odd. A nurse did come & get me to leave. Not the warm, engaged physician I had my first visit. Preoccupied maybe.

He seemed to want to get to the next patient quickly. I could not grasp what was being said. My child showed up and reminded me to ask for aqua therapy. I felt this provider was not interested in making me comfortable only getting his job done & me out of there.

My doctor explained everything in detail, even some of the associated risks. He did not force me to make a decision but shared all of my options. He was very transparent, which placed me at ease, and empowered me to make informed decisions about my care.
