    I could not have asked for better care. My appointment was thorough in every way and the caring treatment and expertise were stellar. Dr. Scott is a rock star and always worth the wait to get an appointment with her. Thursday is my least convenient day for an appointment, but I made it work because I value her expertise and ever caring bedside manner. Thank you!!

    Dr. Scott is very attentive. I know she runs late. That's because she's very much sought for her information. But she spent enough time with me to make me feel very comfortable about my medical dermatological condition. So I appreciate her greatly that she's my physician. The end.

    This was my second visit with Dr. Scott. Both times she sincerely listened to me, answered all my questions, explained my options and the considerations for each option. Though I know she is very busy, she never made the visits feel rushed. She was highly recommended to me by a colleague who was one of her patients and, I, in turn have recommended Dr. Scott to others.

    As a woman of color, it was refreshing to have a doctor who also was a woman of color. I live in New Hampshire and traveled 2 hours one way for this appointment. It was worth it because I learned my providers in New Hampshire had misdiagnosed me since they have little to no experience providing care for people of color. The provider I saw knew right away what my issue was and provided me with honest assessment of treat ability, including letting me know that what I had been taking to address the problem would not work. She gave me alternative options specific for dark skin. Finally, a doctor who gets it! I've been wasting hard earned money on terrible and dismissive medical care for years, so Dr. Scott was a life saver.

    I have seen Dr Scott for over 20 years. I think she's excellent. [redacted] Because I like her so much and think she's an excellent dermatologist it's worth it to me to wait for an appointment with her and drive twice as far to get to her new location.
