Scott Cameron MD is one of the finest physicians I know. He has a wonderful heart and knowledge about his field and also very considerate of me as a patient. When I''ve sent him messages he is always very quick to respond or have his nurse respond. I have many medical issues and he is knowledgeable about them and always on top of the issue. In the past 5 years, I have found 4 physicians who I believe go above and beyond by the care they have given. Dr.Cameron is one. I would love to refer him to anyone, especially the people I love and care about. I don''t know another that I would be willing to say this about but pray that others could find someone like him for care.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/20/2026
I leave the hospital knowing I''ve been heard and have had very good and complete discussion around all of my concerns. Dr Cameron has raised my benchmark for physician involvement to the highest levels. I could not be more satisfied with my Dr / patient relationship.

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Cameron, the time he spends with me explaining my medical information, test/lab results, and including my input.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/13/2025
I would recommend Cleveland Clinic to anyone who needs medical care above and beyond what their PCP or local specialists can provide. The 4+ hour drive is worth the level of care I receive and the significant time Dr. Cameron and his staff spend explaining and talking with me about my care.

The Clinic should study Dr. Cameron's patient interactions as a desired outstanding standard of care every clinician at CFF should strive to obtain.He establishes eye contact immediately with a smile, he listens to the patient, he communicates findings in a way that is easy to understand, he actually physically examines the patient, and he provides treatment options and asks if I had questions. The perfect clinician as he met all my expectations .

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/28/2025
I was overwhelmed with my diagnosis and Dr Cameron spent more time with me than any Doctor I have had in the past. He went over the tests that I had at an outside hospital in Florida where no one explained the tests. He spent so much time that I apologized and said I know you are busy and he replied I am here to take careof you He always faced me and had excellent eye contact, showed me details in the tests to illustrate what was happening. He also followed up with a phone call twice to tell me tests results. I was so nervous at the community hospital I was in in Florida. This was truly world class care and I am grateful for CCF

Dr. Cameron always personable and on top of your issues.
