He was excellent. He answers my questions and explained what the next steps would be.
Professional and personable. Answers your questions with understandable explanations. Thorough and thoughtful
Excellent Orthopedics doctor. He was very professional and a good listener about the patients presenting problem. Effectively diagnosed the problem with my shoulder with x-rays and hands-on examination of the shoulder issue. Responded with an injection to relieve pain and ordered PT to restore full functioning.
Great experience with Dr. Shrout!
Treated me with respect, including the fact that I have a great deal more medical knowledge than many nonphysician patients. Made me an active partner in treatment decisions. Continued the practice's attribute of meriting my confidence in the care I receive.
First impression, through exam, nice bedside manner, spent considerable time on history, test results and prognosis. Highly recommend.
He was on time and very professional. He explained the findings and how he was going to treat me.
Very good
He was amazing, I was little nervous about not being able to see Dr Bender any more but Dr Shrout was equally great 👍🏼
Dr. Shroud is an excellent doctor! He takes his time speaking to the patient about their concerns and explains in detail what the approach to treatment will be. He is patient, compassionate, and very highly skilled. I highly recommend Dr. Shrout.
