Dr. Shook is so pleasant and unassuming that you can easily overlook how damn good he is. He is, however, at the top of his profession. Dr. Shook takes a personal interest in the welfare of his patients and excels in explaining complicated medical conditions to patients in plain language. His added strength is his ability to put his diagnosis in the context of his patients' overall medical condition. As a result patients get a clear picture of where they really stand. First-rate.

DOCTOR SHOOK WAS MY HUSBANDS KIDNEY DOCTOR AND I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT THIS MAN. HE IS SO SWEET AND MILD SPOKEN. MY HUSBAND WAS A VERY SEVERE DIABETIC AND MANY, MANY TIMES WE HAD TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT NORTHRIDGE HOSPITAL. IF DOCTOR SHOOK KNEW WE WERE THERE, HE WOULD ACTUALLY COME INTO THE WAITING ROOM TO CHECK ON MY HUSBAND AND THEN DO ALL HE COULD TO GET HIM IN A ROOM QUICKLY. MY HUSBAND WAS A TERRIBLE PATIENT, NEVER DOING WHAT THE DOCTOR ADVISED, YET DR. SHOOK NEVER GOT ANGRY WITH HIM. HE WAS VERY PATIENT WITH HIM. MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY FROM DIABETES, BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MAN IN A HEARTBEAT. I WISH I COULD SEE HIM AS AN INTERNEST, BUT HE IS A SPECIALIST IN NEPHROLOGY. HE IS HIGHLY REGARDED AT NORTHRIDGE HOSPITAL BY ALL THE NURSES. THEY ALL AGREE HE'S THE BEST!!
