Scott C Slattery

Rotten. Botched my shoulder surgery, didn't even want to review my MRI, said was an easy fix, had to return to the hospital multiple times, he was only concerned about the xray saying the hardware looked good, did not want to hear what i was feeling that the soft tissue was the issue, left one of the bone spurs which was causing me extreme pain, on my second year of pain, seeing a new surgeon who had to remove a bunch of scar tissue, then redo the whole shoulder due to the fact the joint was the wrong size causing it to fail during physical therapy it was grinding down the socket disenigrating it to the point it lodge many pieces in my muscle tissue.

Dr. Slattery is amazing. He has been thorough in explaining diagnosis and what it means. Thorough in deciding care plan options and together coming up with the best care plan. He has been amazing thru my treatment and i have full confidence in him and the staff! Thank you Dr. Slattery!

Dr. Slattery was rude to me the moment that I walked in the door. He did no examination on me and dismissed everything that I had to say about my shoulder. This injury is an L&I claim and I have fought to see a surgeon for a year. His only suggestion was to have more cortisone shots which increased my pain the last time that I had them. He was very dismissive of this information and stated that their guy was good and I didn't have anything to worry about. He never once asked my level of pain or limitations that I have since the injury. I told him my shoulder had crunching sounds in it since I was hurt. Again, dismissive, 'oh that could be anything. ' Yeah, it's called an injury. My shoulder didn't crunch before I was assaulted. I also had an independent medical exam and the doctor thought that I might need surgery since all treatment has failed so far. I noticed that Dr. Slattery was holding a document from his PA and it didn't appear that he had even looked at the IME document.

Dr. Slattery did a total hip replacement for me after I fell and fractured my femur while visiting the Centralia area. I was not at home and didn't know anyone to choose, but I am so glad I was given Dr. Slattery. He was calm and unhurried and gave me a lot of confidence while I was hurting from the fracture. Really appreciated him and Jessica, his PA, who also is very professional and caring. A great team!

Dr Slattery is a really nice guy and probably a great surgeon. But be cautious about his diagnostic skills. He didn't follow up with anything - MRI's, post surgery after a few months. When he found something he didn't understand his attitude was its just a mystery. The result was unnecessary extreme suffering for my wife for a year due to 1) no follow up on an MRI he ordered, 2) encountering evidence of bone cancer and he just dismissed as mysterious soft bone.

Slattery ordered MRI on hip after X-ray didn't reveal an issue but didn't ever check up on it...The Result: Walking for nearly 2 months on fractured hip. Even though it was a spontaneous hip fracture (no known cause) which one study says 2 to 3% are caused by serious issues such as bone cancer, Slattery proceeded to try to pin and then replaced the hip and never researched or tested for something more serious. He admitted he had never seen this sort of thing where he had to scoop soft bone (which was cancer hello!!) out but had attitude of its just a mystery and he was done. The result: Allowed another year of bone cancer to eat away at patients entire skeleton before a different orthopedic surgeon diagnosed it as cancer. I feel like Scott is a very surgeon but a total failure at diagnostics. Just based on statistics of spontaneous fractures having serious causes, it means my wife was not the only person Slattery has missed on this. He can't repair the damage he has done but if this can prevent someone else from suffering unnecessarily then it's worth it.

Dr. Slattery did a great job on my carpal tunnel surgery and I had a rapid recovery. (I feel like he put a new hand on my while I was 'under.') I know everyone has a different rate of recovery based on their own particular condition. Still, my condition was rated 'severe' and I did fine. Dr. Slattery is super-professional, easy to talk with and certainly knows his stuff. His office is very friendly and courteous and I was scheduled very promptly for both my initial consult and my subsequent surgery. No waiting weeks and weeks. I couldn't be more satisfied. My thanks to everyone.

Very professional, easy to talk to and did a great job on my carpal tunnel surgery. I had a very rapid recovery, though I know that depends on each patient's condition. But I also know I went to the right surgeon. His office saw me quickly and my surgery was scheduled quickly. Everyone was super-friendly. I couldn't be more satisfied..
