    He performed surgery on my two daughters in the past. Dr. Scott is a wonderful ENT doctor. My first visit with Dr.Scott was great. He explained everything to me during the examination. I totally trust him and will definitely be a patient of his in the future.

    He greeted us with a serious attitude. It could be that he didn't expect us as we were squeezed in, but after we started chatting he eased off. But he hurt my son while getting the wax out of his ear and he started crying badly. I hope he could've treated him gently.

    Lack of communication between Dr fitzgibbons & Dr Scott. He also hasn't addressed my underlying issue of clogged hearing in my right ear. He sent a letter suggesting I may need hearing aides. Did! I use them.

    Dr. Scott listens and asks questions and makes me feel like he absolutely knows what is going on when I describe my symptoms. I have absolute confidence in him and what he does. He exudes confidence, experience, and knowledge while being a good listener and problem solver.
