Thank you for assessing my concern. I am at ease now.
Excellent physician
Thanks working me in
Seen him for the very first time and I felt comfortable with him and his demeanor
Doctor Shrout has an amazing patient Dr personality. He is caring, knowledgeable and very direct.
Dr. Shrout was very professional and courteous. He took time to explain carefully my diagnosis and answered all my questions to my complete satisfaction. I highly recommend him and Shady Grove Orthopedics.
Very personable, gave diagnosis in a straightforward manner. Presented both noninvasive, healing solution as well as direction of condition worsened.
Dr. Shrout is grounded, real, and has a wonderful bedside manner which are all of the things one would want in a doctor.
Dr. Shrout
Dr. Shrout was very professional and knowledgeable in the treatment of my rotator cuff tear. He listened to my concerns and thoroughly explained the treatment. He provided an injection for my shoulder pain, that should help me benefit from PT. His staff including intake personnel, x-ray tech, and medical scribe were efficient, professional and competent. A very positive medical visit.
