Scott Wardlaw, M.D.
Gastroenterologist
About Scott Wardlaw, M.D.
I enjoy many areas of GI but have a particular interest in IBD and liver disease.
Why Gastroenterology?
I was initially drawn to gastroenterology after doing quite a bit of work taking care of patients on an inpatient liver service during residency. I found it both educational and rewarding to help patients navigate the twists and turns involved in these medical conditions. The more exposure I had to all facets of GI, the more I learned how many other opportunities are available to have an impact on the patients I serve.
What can patients Expect?
I think something I really value is developing a rapport with my patients and their families. I put a lot of importance on listening and shared decision making to help address the issues most important to my patients and put together a treatment plan most in line with their goals.
Outside of the Office
I enjoy spending time with my family, being active in the outdoors, trying new restaurants and traveling.
Interests outside of work?
My wife Julie and I enjoy spending time with family (both with mine in Little Rock and with hers in New England). We also enjoy relaxing on Lake Ouachita whenever possible. Otherwise, I enjoy golfing and duck hunting with my Labrador retriever, Lou. I’m also an avid supporter of the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Vanderbilt Commodores.

First timer. The process from the check-in, procedure to end was great! Dr. Wardlaw was extremely great. As well as the staff! Thanks!
The moment I entered the office, I was welcomed. There were smiles on the faces and a willingness to help. When I was called to go to the exam room, the nurse again was friendly and understanding. Then the Doctor came in and discussed with me options & concerns. I’ll be seeing them for checkups regularly.
