Physician, Professor
Obstetrics & Gynecology
Department: OB/GYN
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.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.

Outstanding
He was professional and easy to speak with.
Even though Dr Trout was running very behind, he didn't hurry my appt and took the time to talk to me about my concerns. Even though the waiting was irritating I knew it was bc he was treating all his patients that way.
Interested in my issues.
Dr. Trout has been my provider for over 20 years. He is always very kind, helpful and professional.
He's a10!
He is good. Thorough.
My provider exceeded my expectations. He was able to explain and provide resources to me about my health concerns. He went over everything with me and my guest.
Dr Trout explained everything to me and offered me options. He took the time to understand me and walked me through the visit as things were happening. Very professional and apologized for running behind.
Dr. Trout is very gentle and explains everything so well. He took my concerns and questions seriously and did not rush me. He took time to project future care so I would know what to expect. I highly recommend him!
Dr. Trout is very professional and stays current on all the latest in his field.
This was the easiest and most positive experience at a docs office I've ever had
This provider was the worst doctor I ever had. He had his own agenda for the visit and trying to address the least important issues for me. I was there to have a management plan for a chronic illness instead of offering that, he was only concerned about my fertility/sex life since I mentioned that I was newly married. My Pap smear was the most traumatic experience during this visit since he kept on going even when I said to stop due to pain. No apology was Issues or any word from the doctor during the procedure for not listening to me or why he had to keep on going with the procedure -this was highly inexcusable. Overall, I felt like the doctor was not addressing my needs for the visit at all and did not respect personal believes at all
Good
Dr. Trout is amazing. I trust him and his opinion more than any other physician on my team. When I came to him years ago, it was because an OB/GYN was not caring, made mistakes, and refused to admit them. Dr. Trout was recommended for me on the scheduling line and I am grateful for him. He is thorough and the ONLY care provider I've ever had who cares about my privacy and keeping me at ease. I trusted him during my infertility journey and pregnancy journey. I recomend him to every female I know. I especially appreciate that he does his exam and then has me dress to talk. I've never had a gynecologist do that and I feel like I can really express my worries and concerns.
Dr. Trout listened to what I had to say. He provided me with more information.
Very good, for a first time experience. He asked questions, listened closely and respectfully. He really seemed interested and knowing and understanding my history.
Excellent
Great prefect
Dr Trout is always so caring and kind. He makes me feel comfortable.
Dr. Trout is very knowledgeable and takes his time, even on busy days.
My care provider listened to my concerns and came up with a plan to help me as well as keeping me up to date on my screenings.
He doesn't listen to my concerns at all, doesn't make sure to get prior surgical records for something that is continuously bothering me. He hasn't helped me whatsoever. I am looking for a new provider
Dr. Trout is the best provider I have. He is very thorough and an excellent listener. I trust him with my health completely.
He is the best
He was very informative
Thoughtful questions and curiosity
I have always felt he is very personable, caring, concerned for me and never makes me feel like I am not important and gives me his full attention always.
Love doctor trout
Good!
Dr. Trout is an amazing doctor. Takes the time to listen and address any questions and/or concerns I may have. He takes into consideration my age and different health issues I may have.
Excellent
Excellent caring and thorough with my care
Exceeded my expectations, gave clear instructions, answered all my concerns, and provided me with rationale for timing of follow up appointment.
He spoke with me extensively about my medical history and explained his theories to me well. I appreciated the speed that he completed the exam and how quickly I was able to get dressed again.
Very good he knows what is doing I can recoment to my friends
Dr. Trout listened to what I was saying definitely best provider I have had so far.
Very kind, professional and thorough.
Very professional
He was not kind at first interaction but very business like. He listened to me but then discarded my opinion and my feelings. He was pushing me to get an IUD. He also spoke to me about surgeries as if it was a " given." I was not pleased with his overall attitude towards my questions.
I have always respected and admired Dr. Trout and continue to do so.
He takes the time to address my concerns.
Extremely excellent
This was my first time working with Dr. Trout. He did a good job making me feel comfortable. He was knowledgeable and very thorough!
I purposely choose Dr. Trout to be my OB again this pregnancy 17yrs later because he was such a great doctor 17yrs ago.
Dr Trout is excellent. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is very thorough, kind, and empathetic. I have been seeing him for 23 years and I am very satisfied with my care.
He was very patient and kind. He knows what he's doing and I'm grateful to have Dr. Trout as my OB
