Dr. Shout and his staff were all very professional and friendly. Dr. Shrout also provided good information regarding my condition(s).
Very professional
We had a very nice meeting; he interpreted the x-rays and let me know what they showed and indicated that no further treatment was needed.
Great explanation felt relieved after his h8s explanation so will try his prescription thank you for your help advice Dr Shrout
He is a great doctor in every way. He is nice and an excellent surgeon
Dr. Shrout is extremely thorough in his inquiries about what brought me to him as well as how I can minimize those flaring symptoms, necessary x-rays on both thumbs and then recommending certain thumb orthosis (2), using Voltaren which he stated is very effective, and a sock-like device w/bulb and reversing it to impede my bending my arm while asleep. He is superior
This was my first visit with Dr. Shrout, and it was a nice, pleasant and informative visit, i was very much impressed with his preparedness beforehand about my my symptoms I felt comfortable and well taken care of.i am very much looking forward to seeing him again to take care of my Elbow situation once and for all!!
Good explanations, presented options for treatment plans
I am disappointed with the service today because l did not get my prescription from the pharmacy today.
Professional and kind.
