    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.
