Thomas E Shook's Online Review Report Card

Have been a patient of Dr Shook for over 8 years. He is professional, takes time to explain and answer questions. Willing to consider patient input on options. Trust his advice. On the negative side, tough to get appointments, long waits and follow up on test results from his support staff is poor (3 weeks or longer not unusual). Have to persistent in following up to get the info (in one case, told to call mri provider myself when nurse claimed she never received report after 4 weeks. Provider confirmed to me the report was sent same day as mri and then sent again at my request). The website, even though updated, is fairly useless. I would recommend the doctor but the practice and support staff are not too impressive.

Absolutely the Best & informative Caring Doctor anyone would be happy to have should you require his services. Always positive, always smiling and staying safe in these uncertain times

Dr. Shook is an excellent Dr. He always explains my treatment in detail and gives me call call on all test results to explain them. Very friendly and empathetic. Professional in this field. Would greatly recommend him.

Dr. Shook is absolutely the best! He always has a great attitude. He thoroughly explains everything and presents all options. Best attribute: He genuinely cares. A colleague of his has to preform my next procedure. He offered to be in the room during my surgery if that would make me feel more comfortable. Who does that? Oh... and he called me personally when there was a change in plans. Absolutely Amazing!!

Pre-turn of the century physician and practice. Very difficult to schedule an appointment. My biopsy was performed 1.5 hours AFTER it was scheduled. The MD never called my partner afterward. Results were withheld for over 2 weeks, despite repeated requests. The portal is useless; neither the staff not the MD seem to know how to use it.

Very professional , I highly recommend Dr.Thomas Shook. He is without a doubt the best of the best.

Dr. Shook is a wonderful physician! His staff leaves a little to be desired. Husband received a call that his cancer has spread to lymph nodes. Had an existing appt for 11 days in the future. Asked to see the Dr. sooner to answer questions on prognosis. Nurse said, "Its not like your die..." then stopped. Said he couldn't get any worse between the 2nd of July and the 13 of July. When diagnosed with Cancer and not able to ask the doctor questions for almost two weeks leaves the family in a terrible spot! What kind of person/nurse tells a cancer patient horrible news and then nonchalantly tells him it is not like he is going to die? Consultation appointments should be readily available when sharing that kind of news; in addition, a little empathy might be beneficial!

Always professional

I have seen Dr. Shook three times over a four year time span. The latest was on 10-09-19 for a prostate biopsy. On my first visit four years ago, I knew I had the right Urologist for me. He was patient, friendly, caring, intelligent in his field and respectful of my concerns. He allowed me to ask any and all questions as he answered each one from a layman's perspective making sure I understood his answers before moving on to the next question. It seemed to me that I was his only patient for the day. I experienced this on each visit. He performed my biopsy procedure without a single problem, and I have not experienced any of the normal symptoms associated with a prostate biopsy--no soreness, discomfort, bleeding, fever, or infection. I trust his work and knowledge completely in my quest for the best medical services available. Thank you, Dr. Shook, for your kind and professional nature. Gordon A. Smith
