Dr. David Scott asked me questions about the problem I was having, and did a thorough exam and discussed possible solutions. He ended up giving me a trigger shot and administered it with little to know discomfort. I was sore that night, but by morning feeling so much better. I had been in pain for almost five weeks. Today has been the best day I have had since my injury. Thank you Dr. Scott!

Dr. Scott listened and was very good about explaining what my options are. He even brought to my attention about something that I was not aware of on my X-ray. He showed me my X-ray showing a calcified tumor. He appeared to be concerned about my well-being.

The doctor was good and very understanding of my pain and concerned about what was more comfortable for me standing or lying. He was good giving me my projection. Can't say enough good about him. Very likeable

Lately, I've noticed a decrease in the ability of physicians to truly listen. When Dr. Scott asked me why I was there, the question took me aback. Certainly I wasn't there to waste his time, so I communicated the why. I felt that the conversation was hurried and when I asked about getting the MRI that him and the ER doctor recommended, I informed him that I had communicated this to my primary, who, instead of ordering the mri, she ordered X-rays. Bedside manners are paramount to me, and I think that doctors need to be reminded that while they see many patients, when I am in their care, their attention and listening skills should be activated so that the best health decisions can be made.
