Scott Saffold, MD
Dr. Saffold believes that one of his primary roles is to help patients make intelligent decisions about their health care. Says Dr. Saffold, “Very often the difference between adequate health care and excellent health care depends upon whether the provider cares about their patient’s well-being.” It is his philosophy that patient/customer service will ultimately improve health care delivery. At Chesapeake Bay ENT, Dr. Saffold lives his belief that people in all communities have the right to expect technologically advanced, state-of-the-art health care.
