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.

Post-stroke maintenance.
I was seen at CDH for emergency gall bladder removal. Dr Scruggs saw me post op. Clearly explained my current condition, and sequelae and basically made his erpertice available in case of unexpected event.

Dr. Scruggs really listens to questions and concerns, and doesn't rush out of the office without thoroughly explaining medical conditions, treatments, referrals, etc. He makes sure I understand my condition, and isn't shy to refer me to specialists when he thinks it's necessary for a more complete diagnosis.

I would recommend highly Dr. Scruggs as a primary care physician and interest, Dr, Scruggs has been my primary care physician for almost 10 years. He also was my mother-in-law's doctor when she moved from Virginia to live with us for health reasons. The pastor at my church had endorsed Dr. Scruggs as an individual who I could count on to make good moral decisions.
