"A pleasant person, easy to talk too. Went over my situation, very good exam and explained what he saw in the test results. Told me he could do surgery and what he would need to do to fix the issue.

"I've known Scott for a long time before I needed his help, after I had an ATV 4 Wheeler roll over me at 62 years old. It messed me up pretty bad! Before, I always knew he was a good guy and Dr. After becoming his patient I found out what a great guy and Dr. he was.That was 8 years ago. Now I'm 70. Still active and strong with full mobility and strength in both shoulders and both knees, despite serious injuries. NO PAIN! Simply put, He's the Best!"
"Dr. Trenhaile was very professional. From the first time I met him, his bedside manner was very kind. He walked in and introduced himself to everyone in the room, he explained my mother’s condition understandably. My 78-year-old mother needed rotator cuff surgery and Dr. Trenhaile did a phenomenal job. My mother’s recovery wasn’t bad just a little pain. Now two months later, she’s doing wonderful. Thank you Dr. Trenhaile."
