Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
Patient Comments
- March 18, 2023 It would have been nice to know before my apt that I was going to have to stand to take the xray. It was rather nerve racking to have to stand after 6 weeks of non weight bearing on my leg. The room is not exactly equipped this experience. It is very small and having to step up to get on the platform for the xray and then having to maneuver into the right position not very easy is there is really nothing to help. The lady that did the xray was very nice and very helpful.
- March 18, 2023 I loved Dr. Scott. He showed true concern about helping me to heal in the right way. I was in extreme pain and he was super gentle.
- March 16, 2023 Dr. Scott was very understanding about my fears concerning a large hospital and parking garage. Also he was understanding about my concerns about being “put to sleep “ for surgery at my age.
- March 9, 2023 Dr. Scott provided tremendous care to my 15 year old son. He helped us to understand our treatment options and made the entire process of surgery through recovery a positive experience. I will definitely refer others to him for foot and ankle care.
- March 9, 2023 I was so pleased with the time Dr.Scott and his team spent with me. They answered all of my questions, explained my X-rays, and were kind and thorough. I would highly recommend them! Over all excellent experience.
- March 9, 2023 Dr Scott is an awesome doctor! He listens and he seems to care about his patients!!
- March 7, 2023 Kind and explained my issue completely
- March 4, 2023 Dr. Scott is very knowledgeable. He is a very down to earth doctor who listens and takes the time to answer your questions. I trust him completely
- March 3, 2023 He is caring and very component. He listened carefully to what I had to say and answered my questions.
- February 25, 2023 He is knowledgeable, personable, humorous. The resident showed us through all the x-rays And dr Scott went back through them briefly, then took time to show me some technical aspects of the surgery about which I was curious. Later I sent a question through the portal and the answer came back almost instantly
- February 25, 2023 Listens, considers patient’s specific symptoms even if complex. Is professional, knowledgeable, but also practical in recommendations
- February 24, 2023 Gentleman checking me in this time was super nice and helpful. Much better than my 1st visit a month ago.
- February 18, 2023 Dr Scott is a very informative doctor. He takes his time to explain what's happening, what's going to happen and all my options. I never feel rushed or misinformed. Dr Scott has a true compassion for his patients and it shows.
- February 18, 2023 Very friendly and patient to answer all of our questions
- February 17, 2023 Kind and knowledgeable and answered my questions in office visit when surgery was scheduled. I think he should have at a minimum spoken to me on the day of surgery. I've never had surgery before where the surgeon did not at least show his/her face in the pre-op area. I have felt totally abandoned and clueless during my recovery time, starting with lack of clear instructions during post op. I should have received phone call(s) from his office post op asking about my condition and asking if I had any questions. The only phone call I received was asking how long the nerve block lasted. No follow up questions when I answered it had worn off the night of surgery.
- February 12, 2023 Very tedious in all the care i received in his treatment of my foot injury. I was concerned about life after this surgery, Dr. Scott put me back together, just like God intended
- January 30, 2023 Dr. Scott was patient. He provided feedback to me in a clear fashion. I found him kind, knowledgeable, and helpful.
- January 27, 2023 Dr Scott gave me good information about my problem and answered all my questions.
- January 24, 2023 Dr Scott is so kind. He never seems to rush. He listens to me patiently. He cares about my recovery.
- January 14, 2023 I have only seen Aaron Scott one time, however he was able to help me with my ankle issues and set me on a path to hopefully getting better. I never felt rushed. Honestly ,wish all Dr's where this caring.

The recovery is a long journey but every week I am closer to returning to normal. I am really pleased and would recommend Dr. Aaron Scott if you need his services.
- November 2, 2022 He is friendly and he seems like he cares! But most of all he doesn??t have the typical ???doctor?? stance about weight!!! I know I am over weight but not all my problems are caused by my weight!! Only had two other doctors besides Dr Scott who actually just took care of my issue and didn??t constantly harp about my weight! The other doctor was Nunez and a doctor from West Virginia!! Glad Baptist hospital doctors can look outside the box!
