    I was born and raised in Southern India, where I completed medical school. After graduating from Stony Brook University Medical Center in 2007, I worked in New York City for 4 years before moving to Pennsylvania with my family.

    I love primary care pediatrics for many reasons. I enjoy the variety and challenge of caring for a wide range of patients, from premature newborns to adolescents leaving home for the first time. I deeply value the relationships I can form with patients and their families. It’s a privilege to be able to watch children and their families grow and change over the years, helping them to manage illness and supporting their wellness along the way. Moreover, kids are filled with joy and resilience, and this makes me smile every day I come to work. I’m passionate about teaching and education. I love being able to combine my love of teaching with my love of medicine, educating patients and their families about health and illness. I also advocate for patients with learning differences, including dyslexia and ADHD. Before I went to medical school, I was actively involved in teaching and education, even working as a full-time teacher for children with learning disabilities. I look at every interaction with my patients and their families as a teaching opportunity—and I learn something each time, too. Being a pediatrician helps inform the way I’m raising my own kids, just as I think being a parent makes me a better pediatrician. I am also passionate about providing full-spectrum medical care for children. I previously practiced in a small town far from many pediatric specialists, providing both outpatient care in a clinic and inpatient care for sick children. So, I learned to manage a wide variety of conditions in multiple settings, which I think has made me a stronger primary care provider. It is my goal to support children and families holistically— addressing their medical, developmental, social and emotional needs. I try to make a difference by helping families understand their children’s health and wellness, teaching them what they need to know. In this way, I hope to make it easier for families to make wellness their priority as well. My goal is to help families make their own evidence-based decisions about their health, guided by their own personal values combined with medical research.

    Dr. Scott Pugh is a board-certified pediatrician and fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He was previously a pediatrician in the U.S. Navy, where he served onboard USS Whidbey Island during Hurricane Katrina and the Israeli-Hezbollah war, and on the Surgeon General’s Healthcare Ethics Education Development Committee. He has been a pediatrician in this area since 2012 and has repeatedly been named a Top Doctor by both Main Line Today and Philadelphia magazines. He is a published author, a medical educator, and serves as the local school district physician. Being the youngest of four children and trying to keep up with my older siblings resulted in frequent visits to the emergency room. My mother always joked that I just felt at home in a hospital! My high school AP Biology teacher inspired me to find a summer job working as a research assistant in a children’s hospital, and the pediatricians there were wonderful about allowing me to shadow with them. From that point on, I knew that being a pediatrician was a real calling. I enjoy the challenges of pediatrics — particularly how both the psychology and the biology of children change dramatically as they grow. Children have remarkable resilience that is both inspiring and humbling, and I find real joy in working with them and their families. There’s rarely a visit that goes by without some smiles or laughter. Parenting is one of life’s most difficult challenges, and I love helping to make it a little bit easier by offering advice and encouragement. I want the families I care for to know that they’ve been heard and understood and to feel that we are partners in their child’s care. There’s no greater privilege than teaching a child about their health and giving them advice that has the potential to benefit them the rest of their life. I’ve been very fortunate in my life to have people help me get to where I am, and I feel an obligation to pay that forward. I enjoy volunteering in different capacities — whether as a coach or board member for youth soccer, as our local school district physician, or recently as a physician in rural Uganda with the Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children. I believe that helping children can have long-lasting effects for our collective future. Dr. Pugh is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Croup.

    What is the definition of Croup?

    Croup is an infection of the upper airways that causes breathing difficulty and a barking cough. Croup is due to swelling around the vocal cords. It is common in infants and children.

    When should I see a Croup doctor near Exton, PA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Croup doctor near Exton, PA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Croup doctors near Exton, PA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Croup doctors near Exton, PA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Croup doctor near Exton, PA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Croup doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Croup doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Croup doctor near Exton, PA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Croup doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Croup doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Croup doctors near Exton, PA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Croup doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Croup doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Croup doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
