Redmond Regional Medical Center
"The hospital was clean and organized. The staff was wonderful!"

John Ryland Scott
"Dr.Scott was the presenter at the 2 hour WLS seminar. Dr. Scott and his staff are very nice and caring toward the patients. I was impressed when Dr.Scott attended the peer support group and answered questions. Dr.Scott recommends a 18 week exercise program for preop and postop patient to get his patients ready for the WLS. Dr. Scott is a very kind and knowledgable doctor. I talked with Dr. Scott about being a Jehovah Witness and not taking any blood products if needed during the surgery. Dr. Scott stated that he would not give me any blood thinners and offered 2 types of blood building products (Hespan or Albulim) that could be used during my surgery. Dr. Scott asked me to research the 2 drugs and let him know which one I wanted to use during the surgery. I chose Hespan and Dr. Scott honered my choice. Hespan was used to build the volume of my blood and I had very little blood lose during the surgery. Dr. Scott had great bedside manner as he talked with my husband and I. Dr.Scott came to my room the day of release from hospital and explained the importance of taking a multivitamin 2x a day and 1000mcg of B-12 1 x a week. Also to follow the eating plan of small meals 4 to 6 x a day.Dr. Scott requires that his patients continue to exercise daily and attend monthly support meetings of peers. Also to follow up with him and nutritionist as scheduled. For new patients of Dr. Scott, I would recommend to follow all of his orders. I joined the recommended exercise program and started the vitamins 18 weeks before surgery and I had no complications with the surgery. Dr. Scott gets high marks for the fine care I received from him. I rate him-EXCELLENT!"
