Dr. Scott is exceptional in his ability to pinpoint the location of my pain and is very particular and careful to inject my pain area for good results. I would go to no one else for care like this. Extremely skilled and his bedside manner is the best!

Dr. Strong was very easy to talk to and did a great job explaining what is going on with my hip.

Dr. Scott is outstanding. I broke several ribs, and his treatment approach was spot on. I couldn't take muscle relaxers because of a possible interaction with an extant prescription. But he came up with a well-reasoned alternative. Importantly he correctly forecast how my recovery would proceed, and offered several practical ideas for how to get through. Most important was keep a walker by the couch where I slept so that it would be easier to get upright. That totally saved me.
