3. After a thorough health history and examination we promise to refer you to the proper specialist if your condition is not one in which we can help.
4. If your condition is one in which we feel our treatment can help, we will explain the problem, discuss how long we think it will take, and how much treatment will cost so you can make an informed health care decision.
5. We will explain to best of our ability the treatment options and how soon it will take to relieve your pain and restore you normal bodily functions.

Digital X-rays - $50 per view (most people need at least two)

Do you take health insurance?
We will not file health insurance for you, but we will provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Many of the advanced therapies we use in our office are considered "non-covered" by some insurance companies.
Dr. Shook decided a long time ago that he would not let insurance coverage dictate the decisions he makes in the care of his patients, and opted out of all health insurance plans.
