Patient Reviews
Feb 29, 2020
I first saw Dr. Scott last year for thumb joint pain. I was told by several people that he's the best surgeon in New England to address the issue I am having. Everyone described him as kind with an amazing bedside manner. The office visit was a pleasant experience, staff was friendly, and appointment was on time. Dr. Scott was VERY kind, patient, and listened to me describe the symptoms. He asked me questions about prior procedures to alleviate the pain and then gave me a steroid shot. The shot alleviated the pain for a short time and I went back to see him 2 weeks ago. It was determined that surgery would be the next step. He explained the procedure very well to me using descriptions that I understood. I met with him before and after surgery this week and feel so lucky to have him as my orthopedist. He has a great bedside manner and a warm personality which eased any anxiety I may have had. If you are experiencing pain, especially in the CMC joint my suggestion is to call his office!
