Get to know Pulmonologist Dr. Michael James Scott, who serves patients in Tulsa, Oklahoma and the surrounding communities.
New York City, New York Aug 2, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Specializing in pulmonary and critical care medicine, Dr. Scott cares for hospitalized patients on the campus of Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as Wagoner Community Hospital. His professional areas of interest also include pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, COPD, and refractory asthma.
"I knew that I wanted to treat the whole patient, not just one organ or specialty. This drew me toward internal medicine with my sights set on pulmonary and critical care. Within critical care, we see the sickest of the sickest and treat the whole patient and body to fight for their life and restore their health. Pulmonary is a natural fit with critical care, and it gets more interesting every day that I'm in this field of medicine" said Dr. Scott.
Inspired to become a doctor at the age of 7, his grandmother had a serious stroke and was dying. The attending physician displayed such compassion and care through the whole process that it left Dr. Scott with the motivation to one day do the same.
Now, as Dr. Scott works to provide care, he takes that same inspiration that drove him and puts it into building relationships with patients. "I build relationships with my patients by providing compassionate and genuine care. I give them the time they need, and I make sure they feel heard and respected" he said.
With an impressive and extensive educational background, Dr. Scott completed his Bachelor's degree in biochemistry at the University of Oklahoma in 2005. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2010.
Continuing to excel in his medical training, Dr. Scott completed an internship in internal medicine at the University of Louisville in 2011. He then pursued a residency in internal medicine at the same institution, where he served as chief medical resident in 2014.
Driven by his passion for critical care and respiratory health, Dr. Scott pursued a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at the prestigious Northwestern University in Chicago in 2017. This fellowship allowed him to specialize in the intricate and demanding field of pulmonary medicine, equipping him with the knowledge and proficiency to manage critical cases and complex respiratory conditions.
With a strong commitment to patient care, Dr. Scott is board certified in pulmonary disease, critical care medicine, and internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is an organization that provides board certification to qualified Doctors who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease in adults (internists).
Emerging as a competent and compassionate physician, Dr. Scott encourages patients to be proactive about their health. "Don't put it off until tomorrow because tomorrow may never come. You must act now and take ownership of your health," he said.
Pulmonology is a medical specialty that deals with diseases involving the respiratory tract. A pulmonologist is an internal medicine physician who specializes in conditions and diseases that affect the lungs and the respiratory system.
Outside of work, Dr. Scott enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, enjoying a great meal, and watching sports, especially soccer and college football.
