Janine Scott, MD
“God has given each of us a destiny – something that we were made to do. Medicine is my ministry. It is one way I am able to share my gifts with my community and honor that dream that God has given to me.”
​

For Dr. Scott, her family is her first ministry and is at the center of her world. She loves to travel, play board games, bowl, swim, read, and is an amateur chef (broccoli and sausage quiche is a favorite). One day, she hopes to travel to the Maldives and brave the skies with tandem skydiving (although, as the years go by, indoor skydiving may be her thing...smile!).
