    I'd say Scott was one of the most pleasant individuals I've met with in my experience of using Brigham Women's Hospital. Very thoughtful, very attentive, and I found him sincere and caring about my well-being. I have great confidence in guidance he provided me, and I really appreciate the time he spent. A few days later, he called me up personally to talk to me about some of the details on the results and encouraged me to take the matter seriously. I very much appreciated his time.

    Dr. Scott is actually a great doctor. He listened to me and listened to what medications I could and couldn't take. And I sent him follow-up information on any type of illnesses my family had had. So I have nothing bad to say.

    The appointment was very nicely done, comfortable I would like to call it. I know how the hospitals are experiencing staff shortages, especially because there are shortages of doctors these days. Therefore I was pleasantly surprised to be seen on time and have all my questions and worries addressed by this very personable and empathetic young doctor.

    Dr. Dryden-Peterson reviewed my case history, went over the test results and explained things in detail. The appointment was very informative and lasted close to an hour. He prescribed a new antibiotic for a lingering kidney infection which has been effective. He also took time to listen which I appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Dryden-Peterson.
