Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Bad practice policy
Unsure why I was asked to review. My appt was booked & confirmed. Upon arrival I was told I could not see the Dr unless I paid $80 in numerous chgs that they did not explain and I would not arbitrarily pay. A medical provider with any customer service skills should have contacted the patient prior to allowing the patient to hobble into the office to get help from their doctor.

I cannot give you a rating at this time due to the fact that I did not see Doctor Shute. I was seen by his associate. Associate Doctor was fine. She was very helpful.

Left Knee Consultation
A year ago I underwent a left knee reconstruction. The day after surgery my knee buckled during physical therapy in the hospital. I had a second surgery to repair a torn patella tendon at which time a cable was put through to keep my knee cap in place. A year later I am still in a lot of discomfort so Dr. Shute and myself decided we are going to remove the cable.Dr. Shute's bedside mannerism is undescribable. He listens to his patients. I travel from Vero Beach to see Dr. Shute and it is definitely worth the time and effort.

I'ts been over 6 years since my bilateral knee replacement surgery. They healed very well. I am so Happy I had this down and Dr. Shure was wonderful. i did have a little problem when I came in after a stay at the hospital out of state. They thought I might have to have my knees looked at for possible infection. I was seen by a PA who said they did not do the TKA both at the same week anymore. That was not my problem that day. Luckily I had a call from the out of state Orhopedist who confirmed I should not need my knees opened and cleaned of infection. That was the only time I was disappointed with this office.
