Dr. J. Stephen Scott graduated from the University of Missouri School of Medicine in 1986.  He completed his Internship and Residency in General Surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida in 1991, and went into private practice the same year. 

Dr. Scott is nationally recognized for his proficiency and expertise in many laparoscopic procedures.  He has published and lectured extensively on several of these operations, and has served to proctor and teach these to a large number of surgeons across the country. 

After recognizing the need to treat the growing epidemic of morbid obesity in the U.S., Dr. Scott spent years studying the disease and training to treat it as a surgeon.  In 1996, he performed his first open Roux-en-Y divided gastric bypass and in 1997 became one of the first surgeons to ever perform this procedure laparoscopically.  He has been involved in over 1,500 Roux-en-Y procedures since that time. 

Dr. Scott has been named national Laboratory Director for the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons.  In this capacity, he oversees the training provided to surgeons interested in surgical techniques and overall management of the morbidly obese.  He also serves on the ASBS committee to determine Bariatric Centers of Excellence. 

In 2000, Dr. Scott and his partner, Dr. Roger A. de la Torre, became Founders of Satiety Inc., along with world-renowned surgeon and inventor, Dr. Thomas J. Fogarty.  This is a company which focuses on the endoscopic treatment of obesity.  Furthermore, he has contributed to the development of several surgical instruments which are sold worldwide.
