Dr Shute does not believe in freezing aka numbing you before prodding you with sharp objects. Therefore, it was the most painful experience possible and he missed the problem spot at that. He also missed that his staff does not respect HIPAA laws or a patients basic bill of rights to choose their own doctor. Hunter, his receptionist, forces patients to her counter as just numbers listening to nothing I said. Another staff member was interrupted by Hunter from assisting me because they didn't report directly to Dr Shute as sh... read more

I was not pleased with the services received from Dr. Shute. On our first encounter he evaluated me based on what his nurse told him my complaint was. He did not ask many questions to truly evaluate my complaint nor did he do a full hands on assessment. An x-ray was done but he did not thoroughly discuss the findings or give me a diagnosis. I was simply offered pain management. I requested diagnostic studies prior to simply settling for pain management. The diagnostic showed injury but the doctor did not clearly explain the ... read more

After falling off a ladder breaking my ankle and my tibia in several places and injuring my knee I was taken Port St Lucie Hospital handled with great care.

I have never had worse follow up after surgery. Unable to talk to Angie for reflls of pain medicines. I leave messages as it is impossible to talk to her. She has called back a few times but I would say less than 50% of the time. My wife has been in great pain because we could not get the prescriptions on time. We have to cut the pills in half to try to get through to when we can obtain a prescription.

He never fully explained my scans and was in a rush to get to the next patient. The office staff was awful. They never returned any phone calls and took weeks to complete insurance forms that had a $25 fee.

He spends very little time with the patient and his nurse is terrible returning phone calls. How many times must a patient call with a problem before they receive a call in return???

Had hip replacement two years ago. Excellent advice from the Dr. And excellent recovery. Will be doing replacement on other hip soon and will go back to him without a doubt. Doctor can do so much, but you must do the rehab.

Spent negligible amount of time examining my broken leg and most of it making notes for billing purposes Didn’t even show me the x-ray, explain the condition or provide program of care Had to ask the nurse to show me the x-ray and the break and asked questions about weight bearing etc.
