The care and professionalism was beyond what was expected ... my husband isn't the guy that see's a doctor unless absolutely necessary and Dr. Don didn't disappoint for care given ... highly recommend A++ read more

If you love dogs like I do you will love this comfortable and welcoming office! Dr Scott and his clinical staff were so attentive and wonderful. Melissa at the desk was also warm and friendly. I have never enjoyed a visit to an MDs office more even with the very slight discomfort of the exam and treatment. Highly recommend read more

Dr. Scott and his team are amazing! It was my first visit and I immediately felt comfortable. They talked about my options and made it work for me, especially since my insurance didn't cover my procedures. I consider him my dermatologist now. read more

Amazing doctor! He uses home cures when appropriate and has a great sense of humor. He is the best! And his staff is the same. You feel at home when you are in his office. My family began seeing him in the the 70s or 80s. I just hope he never retires. Maureen Aidukas Ferriter read more

Dr. Scott is not a buttoned up guy in a white labcoat. He is very smart and with that comes straight talk about your condition, great diagnostic insight, time and perhaps a communication style that is unexpected on your first visit. His casual style however goes a long way in providing comfort and clearly demonstrates a keen level of consideration and caring. His office is bright and quirky...I guess that's how I could describe him as well. I was scheduled quickly, seen at my appointment time and given strategies to help my situation. If you are unable to tolerate dry humor you may miss out on getting good care from this office. read more

Wonderful Doctor and staff! Dr. Scott is very compassionate and and patient; and responds with information that is clear to understand.

How much is your time worth? Ask yourself how long you are willing to wait in an old, dumpy, worn out waiting room to see the doctor before making an appointment here. I waited nearly 30 minutes past my appointment time in a crowded waiting room, only one patient being called into the back during that entire time, before giving up. What is the point of MAKING AN APPOINTMENT if the doctor doesn't keep the appointment. The staff says the doctor can't predict the needs of his patients prior to seeing them, and he runs late. That's a good indicator to schedule appointments further apart - if the doctor runs late, he's overbooked. The staff sure doesn't seem to be stressed or worrying about the multitude of patients waiting as they are too busy chatting, laughing and have a great time within ear shot of everyone around - very unprofessional. Save your time - and frustration - and find a doctor you may actually get to see. Or, clear your calendar for the entire day - you may just spend it with some magazines in a dumpy place overhearing how everyone else's weekend went. read more

Dr Scott has been my Dermatologist for over 35 years that should tell you how great he is...

Wow, I am impressed with Dr Scott and his office staff! My last experience with a skin doctor was not so great. Went in for a skin cancer check and what I got was a sales pitch for fillers, Botox etc. Dr Scott addressed my issues in a very straight forward manner and never even mentioned fillers! He spent the time I needed for the appointment and I left very confident in my new skin doctor! This guy is the real deal! read more

I love this place .. I've been under the care of Dr. Scott for 10 years .. it's very hard to find a dermatologist that cares and wants to help .. my skin has never looked this good .. sometimes i just stop in to see the little puppy Lucy.. some days the wait is longer than others but it's worth it .. read more

If one of the things you hate about going to the doctor is the hype you will find Donald Scott, MD a breath of fresh air. As professional as they get but with a human touch that dignifies you, the individual, and adds a down to earth wholesome kind of caring that you'd have expected from doctors of the past but have sadly disappeared over the decades. Dr. Scott is at once a perfectionist but again, his matter-of-fact approach to the practice of medicine is clear, uninhibited and exacting. He doesn't beat around the bush but he's been around every block in dermatology and knows your condition immediately. Words can't really describe the wonders of this man/genius/healer . . . he is so much more, like a long time friend who you trust and actually look forward to seeing time and time again. This man sets a standard that other doctors should look up to. I can't give enough compliments to the staff - they are all wonderful. read more

How great to meet an MD who's a human being, and a highly skilled one at that! Many longtime patients here in Palm Springs. Count me in as a newby. read more

He's the best dermatologist I've ever encountered.. who knew the simplest remedies you can make at home could control acne both my kids had and he was able to control it better than ProActive... my kids love him. read more

I would give 6 stars to Dr. Scott and his staff if I could. Going to a dermatologist is a nerve wracking experience. I wanted some skin spots looked at and found Dr. Scott through the Internet. I called and was able to schedule an appointment the following day due to a cancellation. Dr. Scott's office is conveniently located with ample free underground parking. I arrived 10 minutes early and was pleasantly greeted by the receptionist. Dr. Scott came out and met me exactly on time for my appointment. I immediately felt at ease. His assistant Tracy was so nice and prepared me for my consult. Dr. Scott checked many areas on my body and never seemed rushed. I could tell he was very experienced yet his mannerism kept me at ease. I ended up with a clean bill of health and will be back in a year for another check up. On the way out I inquired about Botox and was able to immediately have 10 units administered to my wrinkly forehead. Tracy did the injections and it was quick, affordable and painless. This was such a great experience that I raced back to my computer to write this review. Also...Dr. Scott has the cutest therapy dog named Lucy who will warm your heart. read more

Truly felt like Dr.Scott cared about my skin problem! He took his time not only to address the problem and provide a treatment plan he made sure I felt good about myself before I left! His attention to not only my issue but my feelings is what made me happiest about my visit! Also the staff is super friendly and helpful. My wait did not exceed my visit time which made me feel most important! This is the dermatology office I recommend if you want quality care with no sales pitches. read more

This was a horrible experience. I was referred by my primary doctor for some skin issues I was having on my arms. The doctor came in and I gave a brief explanation of what was going on, afterwards Dr. Scott processed to rip in to me. He said very little about my arm and instead attacked my physical appearance, I was so horrified I hardly said another word, I just wanted to leave. My husband has been a registered nurse for 25 years and also sat there in disbelief. He said he had never heard a doctor in all that time be so disrespectful and attack a patient in such an emotionally abusive way. He really wanted to get out of there because he said if he said anything he would get so upset he was afraid he was going to get physically aggressive with him. I have just been diagnosed with a life threatening cancer and he was so rude, I am fighting for my life and he's digging in to me because I am not a thin good looking person. From other reviews if you physically appealing he's a good doctor, but if not brace yourself to be verbally attacked. read more

Dr. Scott is very personable and easy to work with. His office staff is caring and helpful. My visit to his office was actually pleasurable even though I had to have some skin tags removed which was somewhat unpleasant. I highly recommend him! read more

A Dermatologist who looks at your skin and not at the possibility of plastic surgery. His old time remedies like baking soda and vinegar for some ailments are fantastic. But when it comes to working with an injection or a needle, he is an artist. Did I also mention he is the most fascinating character you will ever meet. I love Dr. Scott!!! read more

I've been going to Dr. Scott for years...I highly recommend him. He takes his time with you and the office staff are fun--people actually come out smiling. i've never had to wait long. If you are looking for an actual dermatologist this is your guy!!! i've been to others in the area - that are devoted completely to cosmetic procedures... I'm on medicare only and my co-pay has always been fair and reasonable. read more
