By the 1930s, Scott had migrated to Gainesville, Florida where he would settle and establish his private practice. Scott then earned post-graduate degrees from George Washington and Temple University medical schools specializing in Ophthalmology, Otology and Laryngology. By the late 1950s, Scott earned proficiency in clinical hypnosis as well. Scott was a well-respected member of the Gainesville community up until his death on 23 February, 1970. He was 77.
