My son was referred to Dr. Doute after going to the ER for a fractured ankle. It was clear upon entering his office, there was something wrong -- no techs, no nurses, no professional receptionist. After Dr. Doute's arrogant and condenscening behavior he told us he was closing his practice the end of the month but could still do teh surgery because he 'is the best.' My son clearly needed an experience surgeon with follow up long-term. He collected his co-payment of course, took new X-rays (more $$). We wasted time and money, ... read more

Dr. Doute initially saw me and indicated my pain was coming from problems in my neck, and sent me for MRI for my neck instead of my right shoulder/arm. Follow-up visit was terrible. He asked me what did I think he would be saying to me. I indicated maybe he will give me a shot for pain or maybe surgery. He stated, he will need to do surgery on my C5 disk in my neck. Then he went on to say “you people want him to tell us what he think, but we didn’t want him to touch them with during surgery-Wow, I was totally out done, becau... read more

Dr. Doute was the on call physician when I was admitted with fracture pubis ramus. He recommended I be discharged with a walker when I could not even stand up (sent my x-ray versus examination). After nursing etc. trying to get in touch with him (numerous times Saturday & Sunday), he did not return calls and showed up Sunday night. ( I had been in since Saturday afternoon). I found him to be arrogant, rude and said inappropriate remarks to me. I informed nursing that he was not to see me again! He showed up Tuesday evening a... read more

Poor post op care. Has no after hours answering service so difficult to get care once office closes and on weekends. Poor bedside manner. Office very sparse, has no exam gowns or sheets to cover patients with during exams. Will not prescribe any medicines prior to surgery, such as needed muscle relaxers. Very blunt when talking to patients, shows no compassion. Lack of post op attention led to post op wound infection requiring surgery a couple of weeks post op after two Emergency visits. Refused to order home visit nurse to ... read more

I have never had such a bad experience with a Dr before. He scolded me for not bringing an MRI disk, which I had never been told to bring. I brought the paper version instead. He was able to pull up my MRI through the paper so him getting upset with me over it was for nothing. I was told if I had better insurance I could get the surgery for my back but since I only have Medicaid I’d be lucky to get Physical therapy, but he doesn’t think physical therapy will do much. I left stressed out, with no answers or hope about my back... read more
