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.

Would not recommend
I have paid thousands of dollars to see Dr. Scott for years. She is a one-trick pony and her answer to everything is progesterone. I told her I felt worse on it. She then said we needed to double it! I became a monster while taking it. I was so angry, rude, and suicidal. I finally trusted my own judgment and went off. My periods are still rough, but I'm thankful I'm not weeping over the tiniest inconvenience becoming so angry that I don't recognize myself. She also has asked me at every appt if I take fish oil. I've answered yes each time. She has suggested stimulating the vagus nerve by singing or gargling. Again, mentions it each and every appt. You'll pay a lot of money to see her with little to no results. She also does cut you off while you're talking, even if you're quickly answering her questions.

Rude should not be here
I stopped in to purchase supplements and was told that what I wanted was sold out. The receptionist thought it was humorous that I wasted a trip. She was arrogant and rude. I thought that a quality doctor would hire a better staff member. I will not be back.

Dr. Scott delivered both of our children and she has continued to be my OB for my yearlies, etc. She is personable, caring and a great Doctor. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
