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.

Most amazing Dr on the Planet for colon cancer!!
Professional and knowledgeable!! I was 32 with stage 2 colon cancer while active duty stationed in Louisville, KY and terrified of getting a poop bag or to go thru chemo. I did not do either because Dr Scoggins was soooo amazing. Got a colon resection and was pooping 4 days later like normal This was in 2009 and Life is great now!! I wanted to see him again for Diverticulitis but I now live in Oklahoma...but seriously considering driving to KY to get his awesome care! Have seen many colon dr since him and they are not as good as Dr Scoggins.

Surgical Consult
Doctor Scoggins is very blunt and to the point. His communication skills are abrasive and lack empathy. We left his office feeling drained of all hope.

I was referred to Dr. Scoggins due to Stage IV Colon Cancer that had metastasized to my liver. Dr.Scoggins & staff are always professional,friendly,and efficient. Dr. Scoggins takes the time to explain the condition,the plan,the options,& the expectations. He is straight-forward about what a person is facing in this journey,but also very compassionate. I have referred several people to him.

Visits are always rushed. He does not explain anything and quickly dismisses any patient concerns.

We would highly recommend Dr. Scoggins. He takes the time to make sure all of your questions are answered. He doesn't rush to move on to the next patient. He's a straight shooter and doesn't sugar-coat your illness. We were very happy with our experience.
