Unfortunately it feels rare to have a doctor really, truly listen to a patient's concerns. My experience with doctors is that they generally seem over scheduled and in a hurry to check me off their to do list. Dr. Shook was the exception. He made me feel heard and he left me knowing that he is invested in helping me find answers. I can't express how much that means at a time that I have worries about my neurological health.

Dr Shook specialty is neuromuscular/Neurology in person visits cannot be replaced by a video visit. that being said he was able to see how I functioned in my home environment via video visit. I believe this helped his understanding of my condition greatly and may impact his clinical recommendations.

In light of recent and still unfolding evidence that the heavy metal gadolinium, the key contrast dye ingredient used in MRIs, may remain in the brain long-term when the procedure is repeated multiple times, it is important for doctors to discuss this risk with patients and to include as many body sections as are likely relevant in the MRI so as to minimize need for repetition.

Dr Shook was phenomenal. He spent well over our appointment time slot listening to me and reviewing my chronic illness history to come up with a comprehensive plan of care and testing. He is what other doctors should strive to be, caring, patient, respectful, and compassionate. He is knowledgeable and I feel as though he understands my symptoms and trust him without question to guide me in the right direction. For the first time in several years, he gave me hope. Absolutely phenomenal and very much looking to getting better with his care.

Dr. Shook was the first doctor to show me the images of my back and explain the damage to my nerves. He also fully explained every recommended diagnostic procedure and medication. He really took time to ask me what my symptoms were and he looked at my walking, standing, my feet and legs all on video.
