About Scott

Dr. Scott Gleason is a board-certified & fellowship-trained Shoulder and Sports Medicine Specialist.

His practice incorporates different injectable treatment options including biologic solutions such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). Dr. Gleason also provides medical coverage for the local high school athletics programs and works closely with the student-athletes at Southeastern Community College.
