my first time visit went very well and I'm very happy with Dr Shrout .. highly recommend
Always takes his time with his patients.
Legendary.
Dr. Shrout is a terrific healthcare provider. He is prompt and kind and assessed my concerns with care and confidence. This instilled trust in the immediate in-office treatment plan he performed. Dr. Shrout also explained options for future treatment, which I found extremely useful.
Great Doctor! Answered all my questions very thorough. Thanks
He is a highly rated doctor, however unfortunately I do not agree with that. I was injured 1/30/26. A Sports Medicine doctor used ultra sound and was not able to fully see the damage to my bicep tendon. Dr Shrout questioned why he ordered an MRI. I was taken aback by such an unprofessional comment about another doctor. The MRI found partial high grade damage to my bicep tendon. I told Dr Shrout that after the MRI, I sustained another injury to my elbow, and Sinai’s the sections injury was extremely painful and that I need to use ice frequently throughout the day. He dismissed everything I was trying to describe. He left me feeling as though he didn’t have time to listen and just dismissed everything I said. I told him the pain increases throughout the day. He said use a sling and see me again in two months. The pain in my elbow, bicep and forearm is extremely painful in the evening.
Amazing dr
Didn't have to wait long, he was direct to the point, took care of my issue, very happy!
Didn’t rush thru explanation, answered my questions,
Dr. Shrout was friendly and listened carefully to my concerns. He is highly knowledgeable and experienced and clearly explained a course of action to address my medical issues.
