Formed a warm friendship with Dr. Scott as a medical device executive while he was in Brunswick, GA. We soon discovered we were both from Richmond and we atteded rival high schools, he, St. Christopher's, and me, Benedictine. I had the privilege of observing his considerable surgical skills in the OR. A commited surgeon and diligent acvocate for his patients. I will miss his easy smile and sharp sense of humor. I thought of him recently while passing his childhood home on Three...

Brunswick, GA 2008 & 2009: Dr. Walter Scott was a good friend and a special human being. He was the first person I met in Brunswick, and we worked together for two years on special projects for Hospice of the Golden Isles. Perhaps because we both had recently lost our beloved mothers and were still grieving their deaths, we bonded. Dr. Scott was brilliant, generous, and his soul was kind. What a tragic loss for his precious children and their mother, extended family, and many friends. His...

Dr. Scott performed a lung surgery on my father 4 years ago when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was such a terrible and upsetting time for our family but Dr. Scott made it much more bearable.

His bed side manner was truly one of a kind..he will be missed by all his patients i'm sure and fellow...

Today my son got very good news on his lungs at his wellness visit. We both immediately said thank you and God Bless Dr. Scott. I was so shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. In 2018 both my teen son´s lungs had collapsed without warning. Dr. Scott performed the surgeries and when rare complications never seen before arose, he promised us that he wasn´t giving up. He consulted with doctors around the country and the world. The idea he had worked! I still remember his compassion and...

6/21/21 I am just shocked to just learn this news... Dr. Scott was a great doctor to have at Albany Med in NY. I needed to have chest tubes inserted, and parts of my 2 collapsed lungs removed in 2018. He did save my life before my condition got worse. In a heavenly prayer, I will always say thank you for doing your life saving work on your patients including myself. You are missed. Joe C and family.

I am so sad to learn of Dr. Scotts passing. He was such a gifted compassionate surgeon. He removed the upper lobe of my lung in March 2015 and I will be forever thankful to him. Prayers to his family.

Doctor Scott performed my successful robotic surgery in June. I will always remember his compassion, honesty and bedside manner. I am saddened by his passing. He was an asset to the community. My heart goes out to the family.
