Dr. Scott was outstanding explain to me what my options were for shoulder pain in both of my shoulders. He went over the x-rays with me very carefully and showed me my Homeland bone shoulder joint problem and said that the only trShow moreue solution was to have a shoulder replacement but I could if I wanted to just have quarterly cortisone shots and live with it. He said the option to have surgery was mine...... no big deal. Is honesty and knowledge was great!
It was just my first time there but I have several friends that think that Dr’s Scott and Dean are the best. I was very happy with how friendly and helpful they were. Dr Scott is going to do tendon surgery on my shoulder and I knoShow morew he will be great. He’s going to use the Arthroscope instead of another doctor that said it would be a full shoulder replacement.

Reviews
Great doc! Highly recommend. He knows what he is doing.
Knowledgeable and understanding
Exceptional Other doctor said replace sholder, seemed suspicious so got second opinion. Dr. SCOTT SAID only need clean up and should be OK, 1/2 hour outpatient micro surgery. Dr. Scott is kinda guy who can wear Crocks at work.
10 Stars I can’t tell you how blessed I feel that I was seen so quickly, with such care and kindness. I’ve already recommended this practice to ten people and I was there two days ago!!
It was just my first time there but I have several friends that think that Dr’s Scott and Dean are the best. I was very happy with how friendly and helpful they were. Dr Scott is going to do tendon surgery on my shoulder and I know he will be great. He’s going to use the Arthroscope instead of another doctor that said it would be a full shoulder replacement.
Dr. Scott takes time to listen and try to solve the source of pain and restricted movement. He is skillful and kind.
Thanks
Dr. Scott and his employees treat you like family. He is a great dr., but also a great human being.
Overall good experience. Could have used a little more advice on what activities to do to help alleviate pain and restrictive movement going forward.
Dr. Doug is simply the best. He puts you at ease from the first minute of the engagement.
All aspects of my visit with BOSS were excellent. Dr. Scott, Jamie Langford and all staff were friendly, polite, knowledgeable and professional.
Dr Scott performed extensive arthroscopic surgery on right shoulder. That day and the following week had no pain. Returned to playing tennis within two weeks and yet experienced any discomfort. All issues prior to surgery appeared to have been successfully eliminated.
Very short wait, which is not necessarily the case with every practice
Excellent so far I am in less pain today since I saw him yesterday 11-8 2024 @ 11 o’clock. Thanks for his help
If i ever have to have another surgery,(hope not) I would request Dr Scott. Not only is he an awesome surgeon. He truly cares about you and your well being. The staff at Boss Orthopedic is kind and friendly. Yes I would highly recommend Dr Scott and Boss Orthopedics
Very good experience
Met with Dr Scott the other day. He was easy to talk with and congenial. I feel comfortable having him doing my surgery.
Great !
Certainly appreciated the time with Dr Scott. Explained things well. Whole team was very pleasant and helpful.
Great effective and efficient appointment!
Dr. Scott is awesome.
Dr. Scott has done two surgeries on me in the last eight weeks. Saw him for my postop appointment for my broken arm yesterday, spent so much time answering all our questions and explaining everything never seemed rushed, would totally recommend him for anyone.
Dr. Scott was very knowledgeable about my specific arm problem. He has a very nice personality and makes you feel comfortable in a medical office.
Dr. Scott was very knowledgeable, he answered all of my questions, he put my mind at ease and made sure to explain what the next steps are. Thank you! Stella Scott
I'm so thrilled that he recognized my pain through an MRI and actually showed me the MRI so I could see it so I didn't think I was a baby with the pain. I'd been thinking I'd have to live with the pain that has proven to degrade my participation of any active life.
Excellent bed side manner.
Dr. Scott,and his crew are very awsome with there services, and friendly. Would recommend to family,and friends
Overall experience from the front desk staff to the appoint with Dr. Scott was great. Timely, professional, willing to listen and didn’t make you feel like everything was in a rush.
Excellent care. Professional,kind and easy to talk with. He’s tremendous! Thanks Dr Scott
Comfortable and informative
