Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dont go there you only have one set of eyes
Everything i was told was a lie , i had cateract surgery in my right eye and was on the operating table 10 days after the operation to have the left eye done i stopped the doctor from operating on my left eye becuase i still coudnt see out of my right eye Needless to say i had to see a specialist and was told i did not need anything done to my left eye and the eye that was operated on could not be fixed . I could go on forever with all the excuses i was told why the operation failed even was told it was my fault for not blinking enough WOW last i new blinking is a natural instinct Do yourself a favor and get a second opinion i sure wish i did Still makes me wonder just what they were going to do to my left eye!!!!

Dr. Scott performed my cataract surgeries on 8/4 and 8/18/20. I have found his care on both occasions; professional, caring, and thorough. Followup visits are ongoing and I am very satisfied.

I have been going to Dr. Scott for well over 10 years. While I appreciate him as a doctor, I have decided to go elsewhere for my care. This practice has grown too large, and can no longer handle it's number of patients. I waited over 45 minutes for my appointment, at which time I left. If you can't handle the number of patients you have you need to stop accepting new patients or hire more doctors. I will not be back.

I visited Dr. Scott with diminished vision in my right eye. I was told it would take care of itself. A week later, vision worsened, I returned, was examined and told he thought I might have some retinal detachment. He sent me to the Retina Center in Portland. When I described my symptoms, I was told, "Well, it sounds like an eye infection. Let's check it." Yep, a classic eye infection (idiopathic uveitis). Personally, I think if you value your vision you should stay away from Dr. Scott.
