Dr Shrout is a good listener.
Dr. Shrout is always very pleasant and listens to you! He sits and gives you 100% attention while he explains and answers all questions. Patient gets 100% of his attention at all times!
Dr. Shrout was awesome! He took his time explaining everything about the treatment of my broken wrist. He even circled back to add on to some answers to earlier questions. I broke my wrist in another country, Japan, had surgery there and came home. Dr Shrout came in mid treatment cycle and he was up to date on all the treatment document I brought from Japan. He even explained everything they did in Japan and that was very helpful. He outlined a plan going forward for physical therapy and follow up in a month. I am grateful for his flexibility and conscientious and comprehensive care.
Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Dr. Shrout is a terrific healthcare provider. He is prompt and kind and assessed my concerns with care and confidence. This instilled trust in the immediate in-office treatment plan he performed. Dr. Shrout also explained options for future treatment, which I found extremely useful.
Great Doctor! Answered all my questions very thorough. Thanks
