About Me
My practice in obstetrics and gynecology includes collaborating with a diverse group of professionals and roles. As a faculty member, I am an educator who teaches students, residents and other physicians from all over the country.
As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I meet and care for a variety of people. I like to engage my patients and educate them about their care. This helps them to better understand what is going on, including their treatment choices.
I have always joked that the longest I ever had to wait for something is nine months (pregnancy). However, I find myself taking a more holistic approach to my medical practice. I focus on long-term health outcomes because my goal is to have women live to the fullest of their capacity.
Many of the patients at Ohio State are educated and engaged in their own health care. This makes it enjoyable to discuss treatment options with them and make good health care decisions.
After hours, I stay involved and active with my family. We especially enjoy visiting new places.

Dr. Trout is very sweet. Took extra time at end of visit to talk.
Very friendly, efficient, I had to step out to use the restroom when they called my name for blood-work, when I came back they got me right in. I was very grateful.
Dr. Trout felt very dismissive toward me and my questions. He did not seem to care about my questions nor did he want to give any sort of details regarding their answers. During the exam he didn't say explain anything that he was doing and when I asked questions about it afterward he said that I was tightening my muscles a lot so he couldn't get ans answer for me. He should have explained what he was doing and why and asked me to try and relax so he could sufficiently finish the exam.
Went out of his way to do a same day procedure for me.
He listened and really tried to complete endometrial biopsy, but unable because my uterus is tilted. Talked about possible surgery could complete but not sure wants to do that.
Dr. Trout always questions changes in my family medical history as it may relate to my care.
I love seeing Dr. Trout, he's always attentive, answers my questions, and talks with me through any health concerns I have.

Dr. Trout is very professional. He is very knowledgeable, honest. On time and supportive of any question or concerns you may have. He has made my first pregnancy a great experience.
Dr. Trout has terrible "bedside manners". This was my first ultrasound (first pregnancy) so I had no idea what was going on. He barely spoke, did not explain anything, didn't even provide a verbal cue before he stuck the instrument inside my vagina!! Very awkward & uncomfortable. I wish the female nurse had stayed in the room. Hoping I do not have to see him again!
Very nice and caring .
