Great
Dr Shrout was so kind and considerate. My husband & I were very impressed. I feel very confident about my surgery today.
He seemed very interested and wanted to help me!
Dr. Shrout seemed knowledgeable and thoroughly reviewed my MRI. I would have appreciated a more thorough discussion of the pros and cons of conservative v. operative treatment.
Very knowledgeable. Excellent bedside manner.
Caring and thorough. Provided helpful explanations and sound guidance for next steps in the healing process.
Appreciate him taking the time to listen and explain the problems and treatment options.
Short, sweet and to the point. Very effective visit…
Excellent doctor
This was a great visit with Dr. Shrout. I have been dealing with hand pain for 2 years, and I left feeling like THIS was the hand doctor I needed to see. Dr. Shrout evaluated my hands and explained things thoroughly and gave me a lot of peace of mind AND he looked over my EMG results carefully. One thing I really liked is that the ortho nurse/assistants either introduced themselves with their names or that Dr. Shrout introduced his ortho assistant with his name (Dennis). Great experience all around with Grace, Dennis, and Dr. Shrout, and the front office staff. Thanks so much!
