Scott Jolson's Online Review Report Card

Dr Wera was super sweet and did a great job attending to my daughter with special needs.

Dr. Wera is a wonderful doctor. I can get in touch with him He listens and cares.

Dr. Jolson is a very patient doctor who explains every procedure and asks if you have questions or concerns. I would recommend him to my family or friends!

I did something to my knee when I stood up. Had excruciating pain, no range of motion, and couldn’t bear any weight. ER referred me to ortho for an MRI as X-rays didn’t show anything. I cried in pain all night long and got into Dr Jolson early the next morning. He told me it wasn’t an emergency for me to come in to see him and that I shouldn’t be taking the Norco prescribed by the ER (that barely touched the pain as it was). He refused to do an MRI to rule anything out and completely dismissed the amount of pain I was in. He kept trying to bend my knee even as I was screaming and crying for him to stop. This was the absolute worst experience I’ve ever had with a doctor. Now I’m left with no answers and unable to care for my 2 young children.

Really rude doctor! My mom didn't have an interpreter and so he talked really rude to me and her. Kept saying having an interpreter is the hospitals policy, well I never had an issue at another facility nor his staff bothered asking prior to the appointment.

I have never been treated so rudely by a doctor or his nurse (staff?). I had two problems and the doctor spent lots of time asking irrelevant questions having nothing to do with my problems and putting down the doctor that took the xray previously and then said he didn’t have time to deal with my second problem. He told me I needed an MRI. He wrote down which location I wanted to go to. Then Sonia, his person, was unbelievably rude to me checking out. She more or less said I was wrong about where the MRI would be taken. .......and on and on. I will NEVER go back there!!!

Went with presentation of pain mid upper arm. Ordered MRI. Quick call same day to report I had a rotator cuff tear. Asked how big tear was. Waffled a lot said unclear because MRI was upper arm. Finally got him to say "oh I guess a medium size tear". Rushed to get off the phone said put in order for PT. But when published to MYChart tear was defined in mm in length and full thickness. My quick research put it categorically on the DeOrio and Cofield scale at a "massive" tear. With my own info, I went to PT appt and as I was checking in I asked why PT, was surgery not option, any details on the what, why. They said your doctor would have discussed that with you. I explained I got nothing but a PT order. Tried to call, was encouraged to come in instead. Came in +2 mos, got absolutely no clarification on size, source, cause, probabilities. Jolson kept indicating radiologist report was probably inaccurate or misleading. I kept saying I have no more info still and either I paid Thousands of dollars for a MRI report that was wrong, or suddenly there is no back up for even what you told me on the phone the day of the scan. It was beyond a useless visit. Then he said I should see his associate because we were not connecting. I will personally order the films and report and go elsewhere.

Dismissive; made fun of me even being there

My mother was referred to him for shoulder pain. His question was “have you considered going to a Chiropractor “? He ordered an x-ray, which was useless. He pretty much didn’t do anything for her. Her pain kept getting worse, so she was desperate enough to go back to him to order physical therapy. After a week and a half, she could not do the exercises and the therapist told her he was positive she had torn her rotator cuffs. Wow, took a therapist to figure that out, not Jolson. Imagine that!

Dr. J did my rotator cuff with complete success. Very nice and great job. Also treated arthritis in my knee..
