About
Dr. T. Scott McMurry is a board-certified family physician and Doctor of Osteopathy serving the Big Island of Hawaii. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Texas at San Antonio before completing his medical degree at the University of Pikeville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2017. He then trained in family medicine with a concentration in emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Dr. McMurry comes from a family of rural physicians -- he is a second-generation family doctor with deep respect for the missionary doctors who shaped medicine in Hawaii, including Dr. James William Smith. His military background is equally formative. He served as an Infantryman with the 82nd Airborne Division and currently holds the role of medical officer with the 1/299 Cavalry Squadron in Hilo. In 2020, he relocated his family to Oahu to support Hawaii during the COVID-19 pandemic. A year later, he settled in Kona with his wife and four children to build a primary care practice rooted in direct patient relationships. He is passionate about chronic disease management, medical weight loss, and removing barriers between patients and quality care. Outside the clinic, Dr. McMurry spends time freediving, spearfishing, hunting, and sailing. He volunteers with Street Feet Kona and champions surf helmet safety for keiki in the community.
