Dr. Shook’s father has always been his inspiration, and he’d like to replicate the same warm, welcoming experiences for his patients. Community means everything to Dr. Shook and Dr. Monica, which is why they want 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 he’s 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!
Dr. Monica first met Dr. John in dental school. They got married in 2018 and have two beautiful baby boys together (about a year and a half apart)! It's been a crazy couple of years for the Doctors Shook! She is thrilled to be joining the beautiful team and legacy that Dr. John and Dr. Randy along with the rest of the SFD family have begun. Dr. Monica hails from New York but it didn't take her long to fall in love with the Eau Claire community, so she and Dr. John decided to return to his hometown to settle down. She takes pride and responsibility in providing the best care that she can, and patients of hers may warn you: she's a perfectionist! She loves to hum while she works, so expect dentistry AND a show. (She'll keep her day job though). She's very excited to meet you and thrilled to be "home".
Hello! I’m so glad you’re 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 kids…I don't sleep. Did you know we’re located next to a coffee shop?! Stop in and caffeinate with me, I look forward to welcoming you to Shook Family Dental!

Hello! My name is Ana. I have been working in the dental industry for about 8 years now and am loving my time here at Shook Family Dental! I started in the dental field as a dental assistant and have migrated over to the administrative side. I am passionate about meeting new patients and helping along their journey to healthy & beautiful smiles. I recently moved back to the area after living in La Crosse for the past 5 years. I stay busy at home with my husband Max, our almost 1 year old daughter Noa and our yellow lab Harper! When I’m not at work you can find me at a local restaurant, brewery or game night with friends! I look forward to seeing you very soon!

Hi, I’m 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 doesn’t 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...
I love being part of a team that really emphasizes quality care in a way that can make each patient feel comfortable to visit us! In my free time, my boyfriend and I love to spend time outside with our dog. We love fishing, bow hunting, and camping together. I also love to run, read, and take care of my many plants.

Hi, I'm Martin! I'm originally from Houston Texas. I graduated from the Dental Assistant program in the US Air Force, where I served for 9 years. What I enjoy most about working in the dental field is showing patients that the dental team cares about them. I've worked with many compassionate dentists who have taught me the value of quality care. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife, Jennifer, and two boys, Camden and Luca. Some of the things we do are biking, camping, hiking, fishing, and kayaking. My family loves adventures and I think Eau Claire and neighboring cities provide a great outdoor experience.

Hello I’m Allie, my husband and I recently got married in April 2022! We are both Altoona alumni and we love the Chippewa valley area. We are pet parents of 3 cats and 2 dogs, a border collie named Milo and a golden retriever named Harley. They keep us active and out of the house exploring this beautiful area and hiking trails around EC. We love to camp and travel with our dogs, spend time on our boat in the summers and skiing and snowboarding in the winters. I have been dental assisting since 2016. I absolutely love building relationships with our patients while you’re here and making sure you’re comfortable during your appointment and helping you understand your treatment needs! I am super honored to be a part of Shook Family Dental and I look forward to meeting you!

Hello, I’m Jenny! I love this place and the people in it and I’m so excited to be apart of it! I met my husband, Martin, eleven years ago when we were both dental assistants in the Air Force. We now have two boys, Camden and Luca, and moved back to my home state. We live outdoors in the summer camping, biking, kayaking and then we hibernate in the winter. I love everything about the dental world so decided to take a step up and go back to school to be a dental hygienist. When I’m not in class youwill see me at Shook Family Dental.
