Great doctor with much knowledge and a solid presentation. As a partner in Midwest ENT, he seems focused on making money for the firm. He works for a doctor owned entity, so you may have to listen to his perspective regarding third-party providers of hearing aids, much talk about third party providers using outdated technology. I just took it with a grain of salt. I'm absolutely going to listen to their recommendations but cautiously since I think their upcharges result in significant income for the partners.
I believe he has a solid foundation in his recommendations but would caution against the $$ he earns from recommending inhouse solutions. Much time was spent on third party vendors not being adequate.
So, a great doctor. But he talks over you and through what you know. If you know that you are impressionable, he'll definitely get you. If you are able to think for yourself, he's great.
It may be best to find an EMT that isn't associated with selling hearing aids.
Aug-2024
Very good and less painful than other providers
Aug-2024
Do not recommend..
Seems like he is just selling hearing. Aids.. not addressing medical concerns.
In a hurry. ..waste of time and money

Friendly yet business like. Got me in and out in no time.
Apr-2024
When I visit Dr. Scott they are usually not meaningful visits. Just checking a box saying that I was there. Minimal action points that I feel could be communicated without the need of a visit and copay.
Apr-2024
Very knowledgeable. Friendly.
Mar-2024
My 7 year old had her check up and says Dr. Scott is her favorite
Mar-2024

Mar-2024

He was right on schedule and I appreciated his straight ahead no nonsense approach.
Jun-2023
Very friendly and easy to chat with. Answered all questions and felt very comfortable with him.
Apr-2023
Didn't read my history, didn't ask about my smell or taste loss, his white coat was dirty and wrinkled, seemed to be in a rush and annoyed.
Apr-2023
I know the doctor was behind on the day of my visit, but he acted like I was taking up too much of his time.
Mar-2023
Dr. Scott is very hurried in his approach! I’m sure that he is medically very proficient however he tends to lecture without listening to his patients. I’ve been his patient for 9 and always feel like I’ve been talked down to. I find him rigid and cold. He needs to improve his bedside manner and show some concern and at least a little interest in his patients.
Mar-2023
Dr Scott came to my rescue addressing challenges we have been experiencing regarding Earlens and removed both lenses as they were not in proper position stating I may not be a good candidate for Earlens as it is my first attempt at aids.
Feb-2023
He is a really nice Doctor.
Feb-2023
Very thorough. He listened to me and suggested that I look into getting in to do some more testing.
Feb-2023
Very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns.
Feb-2023
For a post opp visit he barely spent 5 minutes in the room and basically said he felt the surgery was a success even though I have some reservation it was. I'm still having times where I struggle with staying awake during the day and mentioned that to the nurse prior to him coming in. The sleep study shows there was improvement however. I do have a pocket in my throat that I commented on and he said it may or may not go away and I might just have to deal with it. My main concern with the visit however was a comment he made just before he left the room and he stated that I might think about trimming up some and I could help my heart and live longer.. I wasn't there for my heart and I didn't appreciate that comment from him as well. I don't consider myself obese. Sure I could lose a few pounds but that was not the reason for my visit with him. I'm not sure that I would recommend him to someone as his bedside manner really wasn't appropriate.
Feb-2023
He is not a compassionate doctor. I wanted to see another doctor at ENT but was not accommodated with that request. When I called with my concerns of my ears, the nurses who returned my calls were not at all caring either. I am not an unlikeable person and have never been treated like that. The office staff is very good and accommodating.
Feb-2023
Very caring and easy to talk to.
Feb-2023
The man’s a visionary!
Feb-2023
When we got Covid, instead of having to cancel and reschedule our appointment, Dr. Scott and his team were willing to accommodate us with a virtual visit.
Nov-2022
Not very personable was maybe in the room for 10 minutes
Oct-2022
Always concerned and polite
Oct-2022
Everyone was polite and helpful. Answered all our questions.a
Oct-2022
He is exceptionally compassionate with our autistic son!
Sep-2022
A little fast for me to comprehend everything he said for a first visit. Otherwise very professional.
Sep-2022
Wish he would have shaken my hand and looked me in the eye more,
Sep-2022
Always very late for appointment and with no apology for being late
Sep-2022
My procedure was pretty much painless Dr Scott did a excellent job of letting me know what he was doing
Sep-2022
Friendly, timely, very helpful and reassuring
Aug-2022
Kenneth was amazing. The system that supports him not so much. He said that the hospitals would be called they'd find me the best pricing and call me back, they couldn't find me any pricing for any of them not even their own just that I should talk to my insurance and find out my deductible. But I should still be told how much is going to be charged by you since we were doing the test through you instead of Sanford or average.
Aug-2022
Always friendly . I actually like himj.
Jul-2022
Explained everything thoroughly and answered my questions. Made sure I understood and felt comfortable!

Attitude from the time he opened the door. Plan of action not well described.

Apr-2022
Great visit
I would recommend Dr. Scott
Mar-2022
I did not feel that the doctor heard (listened to) my concerns. I felt ‘brushed off’ and treated like I don’t know my own body.
