Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Shrout was not a good fit for me. I felt that he did not take the time to explain my condition in a way that helped me understand what I was dealing with, nor did he walk me through the surgical procedure he was recommending — its benefits, risks, or what to expect. Instead, I was told to "look it up and come back with questions," which was disappointing. As a patient, I rely on medical professionals to guide me through these decisions, not send me to Google. I also found his approach to be very by-the-book, with limited openness to discussing concerns that didn’t fit neatly into textbook cases. When I brought up questions outside the standard narrative, they were brushed off rather quickly. Overall, I didn’t feel heard or supported in making informed choices about my care. While this style may work for some, it wasn’t the right approach for me.
