He was a most knowledgeable, compassionate and charming Dr. He gave me a few treatment options and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.
Friendly professional. Explained issue in detail
This is my third time seeing Dr Shrout about my shoulder pain. I appreciate his conservative approach and comprehensive explanations each visit.
Very quick assessment and referral for imaging, though misunderstood length and nature of injuries as described and included in intake form.
Extremity works, looks deformed.
Exceptional service
He took time to listen to some concerns I have had for a very long time.
Explained game plan & the order of treatment actions. Answered all questions. Nice bedside manner.
Thank you.
Dr. Shrout isn exceptional doctor. He is very competent, professional and explains the situation very well. Always a pleasure to see him no matter the reason.
