Dr. Shooks father has always been his inspiration, and hed like to replicate the same warm, welcoming experiences for his patients. Community means everything to Dr. Shook, which is why he wants to provide positive dental experiences through a breadth of services to everyone in Eau Claire.

When Dr. Shook was young, he watched his father become a staple in the community, providing exceptional dental care to friends and neighbors for nearly 40 years. This set Dr. Shook down a path that would influence his entire career.Initially, Dr. Shook worked in a dental lab, which reinforced the idea that dentistry was the career for him. He completed an undergraduate program at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse and went on to dental school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Bradenton, Florida.After completing dental school, Dr. Shook knew he wanted to start a private practice in his hometown. The neighborhood has changed quite a bit since he was young, and hes back to bring the same warm, welcoming experiences that his father provided to the community for so many years. His goal is to turn every new patient into a friend and make sure that every new friend leaves with a smile.

Meet the original Dr. Shook! Dr. Randy has humbly served the Chippewa Valley for decades before passing the torch to his son, Dr. John Shook. He worked as a general dentist for 38 years, owned 3 private practices, and even retired twice! Dr. Randy served as an Air Force Dentist and was honored when he received the Meritorious Service Medal. He truly believes he has lived a blessed life and thinks it is important to give back to his community. He currently mentors students at the Chippewa Valley Technical School Dental Clinic as well as the Free Clinic here in Eau Claire. During his free time, Dr. Shook enjoys spending time with his wife Sheila (a dental hygienist at the office) and their dog, Shadow. He is a father to 3 grown, married children and a grandfather to 4 grandchildren the growing family keeps him busy! Dr. Shook also enjoys kayaking, fly fishing, learning the game of golf, as well as wood carving. He is so excited to help Shook Family Dental become one of the premier dental offices in the Chippewa Valley!

Meet Sheila Shook! Sheila is honored to work with her son and provide strong, beautiful smiles for every patient that walks through the Shook Family Dental doors. Sheila has been a Dental Hygienist for years and genuinely enjoys helping people find their way to better dental health. Utilizing cutting-edge tools and methods to help people achieve optimal oral health is one of Sheila's favorite parts of the job.

Hello! Im so glad youre here and hope to get to know you soon! I have passion to spare and love to share my enthusiasm in a variety of ways - building connections and serving others, organizing and making things beautiful, and spending time with my family. I look forward to putting my energy to use in creating a great dental experience for you and your family. Creative problem solving is what gets me out of bed in the morning! Just kidding, I have three young kidsI don't sleep. Did you know were located next to a coffee shop?! Stop in and caffeinate with me, I look forward to welcoming you to Shook Family Dental!

Hi! My name is Kaleena and you will find me at the front desk. I have been in the dental industry for several years, both as an assistant and a receptionist. I've been lucky enough to get the best of both worlds, being able to sneak in the back if needed to get my assisting fix, but my comfort is at the front. I love meeting new people and building lasting relationships with our patients. It's been a real pleasure to work for an office so committed to creating a calm, inviting environment for everyone. What drew me to Shook Family Dental the most was the true passion for mental health and wanting to help the community in the best way possible. When I am not at work, I spend my time with my soon to be husband(newly engaged...yay!) Ty, our 4 children, Elijah, Kingston, Pearl, and Vivian. We LOVE finding new adventures outside, very busy with karate, boxing, and poms. Summer is by far our favorite and busiest time of the year! Although, I do enjoy those crisp autumn walks. Fun fact: We have a sweet little sun conure parrot named Kiwi. She loves to do tricks for us(she can spin, shake, and follow our body movements), she's really trying to learn to talk for us(it's not common for a conure to speak), and loves to give kisses. Next time you are in, ask to see a video!!

Hi! My name is Courtney! I grew up in Eau Claire and have been a dental assistant since 2014. I love to spend time with my fiance Zak, as well as my pets (cat Sophie, and dog Gizmo). Zak and I are planning a wedding in June.

Hi, Im Brooke! I studied Dental Assisting at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College in Rice Lake, where I graduated with honors and set the record for most hours of volunteering to date. Shortly after graduation I became nationally certified through the Dental Assisting National Board. I also have previous work experience in Oral Surgery and Endodontics. With my experience in multiple specialties and volunteering, it has provided me not only with valuable work experience but also with the satisfaction of being able to give back to my community. I have had the pleasure of assisting with Dr. Monica Shook since 2019. I strive to build lasting relationships with patients and help to provide comprehensive care to all patients, in a friendly, relaxed (even fun!) environment. I grew up in Cornell and I currently reside in Lake Hallie with my husband, Corey, our daughter, Parker and our dog, Lexey. I enjoy spending time with my family, shopping (my husband doesnt approve of this hobby), photography, binge watching Netflix, singing in the car (I may or may not be tone deaf), going to sporting events, and being crafty. Unpopular opinion: coffee is gross...

Understanding your overall health helps Dr. Shook better diagnose and treat your oral health issues. Come prepared with information to fill out your dental and medical history forms and other new patient paperwork.

Small businesses truly are the heart of our country and Eau Claire. We recognize that during the pandemic, small businesses throughout our community were hit hardest. Thats why weve made seeing the dentist a bit easier for the hard-working folks of Eau Claire.

For a low annual fee, youll receive the preventive care you need to ward off oral health problems, reducing your need for restorative and invasive procedures. We can keep your smile healthy and bright, and give you a confident grin that youll love.

Couldn't ask for a better experience at a Dental office! The staff are very caring, kind and patient. They went above and beyond to put myself and son at ease and were extremely thorough. So Grateful that the Shook family opened up their own Clinic!

My son and I both had appointments today for the first time. My son was rather anxious and upset, but Sheila was great with him, very maternal and tender. After he came home from school, he couldn't say enough about his appointment. "Sheila was so nice and took care of me and Dr. John was funny and let me see inside my mom's mouth. I liked it there!" I appreciated the emphasis on mental health and that was the main reason for switching offices. Talking with Dr. John seemed like I had known him for years already. The office itself is absolutely stunning, the technology is great and I was thrilled to have Nikki as my assistant, she and I go pretty far back and I adore her. I look forward to making another appointment.

I am at the beginning of a very extensive treatment plan which involves replacing all my upper teeth with crowns due to years of grinding and severe wear. Dr Randal Shook outlined the entire plan and prepared me for the duration of the treatment. The care and follow up has been efficient, professional and friendly. I recommend Shook Family Dental without reservation

Oh my goodness! Where can I start;) They gave me hope when I didn't have it. So professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and surprisingly very up to date over and beyond with their 3D capabilities making molds right there in the office. They all love their work and it shows!! I am so grateful I can't even explain or express it! I can actually smile now and give smiles to others Happiness

Had a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. As a tech nerd I love all the new technology they use from online appointment scheduling to 3D models of my mouth.

We are very happy with our experience at Shook Family Dental! Our daughter had her 1 year old appointment, and it was such a positive experience. We were greeted with friendly faces, treated like family and made to feel very comfortable. Highly recommend for people and children of all ages!

Beautiful and extremely modern office that is inviting and thoughtfully planned out. I loved that there's no congestion at the front desk because you enter one door to be on one side of the desk and when you're done with your appointment you exit through a different door. Such a well thought out design. The customer service of everyone that I encountered during my visit was amazing! My hygienist did a wonderful job of explaining everything that she was doing before she did it. You will enjoy looking at the relaxing videos on the ceiling as you recline in the chair during your appointment. I see Dr. Monica for my care; not only is she a truly wonderful human being but she is very detailed and articulated in her care to her patients. I have officially switched my dental care to Shook Family Dental and will not go anywhere else now!

As a new patient I was blown away with the atmosphere of the office. Friendly staff from the the moment I walked in, until the moment I walked out. I had a great cleaning by my hygienist and Dr. John was very thorough with this findings on radiographs and clinically. The technology is top notch, as well as the entire office.
