Kind. Extremely skilled and practical. Couldn’t be better

Happy to see me…. Quick and easy catch-up appt. Trigger finger (painful) shot of cortisone (he did warn me!) In snd out in less than 20 minutes..,great appointment!!
I recently visited this doctor for an evaluation of my hand injury, and unfortunately, I left feeling unheard and disappointed. From the moment I mentioned that my injury resulted from a car accident, it seemed as though the doctor’s demeanor shifted. I felt as though he assumed it was a money grab, which couldn’t be further from the truth. As someone in my late 40s, my primary concern is the long-term impact of this injury. I’m not looking for temporary relief or superficial reassurances—I want to ensure I’m not facing chronic pain or debilitating issues later in life. Instead of a thorough evaluation, I received a brief examination and was essentially told to “gauge the pain myself and adjust my activities accordingly.” While I’m not questioning the doctor’s knowledge or capability, the lack of empathy and attention to my concerns was glaring. He dismissed my worries with a simple “it’s not broken,” which felt incredibly dismissive.
Very helpful, attentive, and informative.
Very personal
This was my first visit with Dr. Shrout, and it was a nice, pleasant and informative visit. He provided a shot for my ailment, explained everything I need to know and is sending me to physical therapy. I felt comfortable and well taken care of.
Dr. Shout was very friendly and prompt in taking care of my issue. He was also informative and confident while putting me at ease.
