Dr. Scott Amer has been sanctioned at least twice by the Office of Professional Discipline of the NYS Board of Regents, most recently in Jan 2012 (http://www.op.nysed.gov/opd/jan12.htm). We successfully sued Dr. Amer for his appalling treatment of my son, based on his utter failure to diagnose and treat according to standard professional protocol. Proceed with extreme caution - or don't proceed at all.
