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.

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

He explained things well and was nice
My provider,was, as always, very professional, attentive, caring.
Long term provider. No issues or concerns. Very polite and good with discussing issues.
The doctor was very careful and listened well.
I appreciate Dr. Trout's overall approach when it comes to my health care. He is always quick to follow up after my lab work. I can tell that he cares about me as his patient, and wants what's best for me. I feel well cared for under Dr. Trout!
Dr Trout is always very nice and answers my concerns.
Wasn't a ton of interaction - he just did the ultrasound. He explained what was going on, let us hear the heartbeat, and printed some pictures. We were seeing the midwife team, so we didn't really have any questions for him.
I never feel rushed when I see Dr Trout. He is always willing to answer my questions or address my concerns.
The provider didn't really want to do an ultrasound, but for a new mother I feel like this shouldn't be an option. I have had a difficult journey and want to see my baby as much as I can.
Good experience
Exceptional care by Dr. Trout for over 3 decades!
Caring, knowledgeable and did a good review of my situation and future steps to take.
Dr. Trout is kind & caring and smart in the last 33 years he always took time to explain health situations to me, and diagnose my uterine cancer.
Nurse & Dr. Trout awesome.
Dr. Trout is great. He is good at chatting to make patients feel at ease. Very respectful and always willing to answer questions.
Took the time to listen.
I surprisingly loved Dr trout. I had wanted all my services provided from a midwife, however, I feel very comfortable that if for any reason my care had to be transferred to Dr trout I would be taken care of
Dr. Trout is a wonderful doctor, I have recommended him to friends. He is thorough, gentle and I trust him with my care and well being.
I appreciated how quick Dr. Trout got me into his office when I reported spotting in early pregnancy. He handled the situation with a lot of care, intelligence, and was very on top of things. I appreciate that he was efficient, but also took the time to hear any concerns or questions I had.
Dr. Trout is always professional, and discusses my health concerns with me in an honest, and caring manner. I have been his patient for 28 years.
Dr. Trout has been my gynecologist for many years. I return because of the excellent care he and his office provide.
Always respect & care medically & personally (on the whole).
Dr. Trout was very thorough and spent a lot of time with me reviewing and discussing things with me as well as next steps- pending some test results. I really appreciated it.
Always thorough and efficient
Always respectful and caring, and knowledgeable. Dr. Trout takes the time to address all answer questions and concerns, ensures my preventative care is up to date, and is genuinely concerned about my overall health and well-being (whole body and mind, physical and mental health).
Dr. Trout is open and easy to engage with, as usual
Always very professional and a great health care provider
Dr. Trout is one of my favorite doctors. I've been caring here for years. He always so kind, helpful & personable.
He was professional and direct.
Always respectful and professional.
Care provider listens & addresses questions.
Dr Trout is always a true professional! Makes a difficult exam less stressful by talking and chatting!
Never less than the best care received
I'm very satisfied and he is very attentive to my questions. I call him the miracle doctor!!
The provider did his job, but this was the second time seeing him and he was condescending to me and when talking to me about what my possible results from my testing would be, he only spoke of the negative results that were possible. He did not talk to me much during the procedure and just felt very cold. I made my follow up appointment with a different physician.
Dr. Trout is always great. Thorough and quick with each visit.
Took the time to understand my history and explained my previous test results in detail for me to understand.
