It was great to finally see her. Had to wait a year for the appointment, but worth the wait. Other dermatologists were available for me to meet with during the year.

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.

Dr. Debra Scott is excellent she goes out of her way to help you. I discussed my overall skin concerns in addition to the PDT, she gives me clear insight and information. She is a credit to her profession, and I think she is a wonderful asset to the hospital and all of her patients. Her nurse is very caring, explains everything is very helpful and compassionate.

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.

Yes, Dr. Scott is an excellent doctor and physician. I've been going to her for several years now. She's helped me manage my eczema and I wish her all the best on her retirement and hope she can continue to do some work and help out the community. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.
