Dr. Scott McDermott is part of the Roper St. Francis Physician Partners Orthopaedics team. He earned his medical degree from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. He completed his residency at Summa Health System and his fellowship at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics.
As a child, Dr. McDermott received a toolbox engraved with his name from his grandfather, who was a finish carpenter. From that moment, he was hooked on fixing things that were broken. But more importantly, his grandfather advised him to “just do what you love.” To this day, whether he is setting a broken bone or performing a complex hip or knee replacement, he carries that lesson forward—assessing the situation, finding a solution, and repairing it with care.
Dr. McDermott is passionate about his work and embraces the challenges of each day. He treats patients with respect and dignity, recognizing that everyone has unique beliefs and wishes.
When he isn’t working, Dr. McDermott enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife, Mariah. They love traveling, especially to destinations with great beaches.
