Quality Family Dentistry

​Dear Friends & Patients,

It is with both great excitement and great sadness that I am writing this letter. After six years in the beautiful community of Monroe, Washington, Lauren and I are  preparing to take the next step in our lives. We have made the decision to move out of the area. There are a number of reasons we have chosen to leave our home here in Washington and this has been one of the most difficult decisions we have
ever made. I am thankful, however, that local dentists Dr. Jeremy Johnson and Dr. Kelly Irwin of Monroe Smiles have partnered with us to continue providing you with excellent dental care.

As many of you know, Lauren is well-connected in the historical clothing community. Virginia, which we will now call home, will offer her amazing opportunities to pursue her passions and use her unique skill set in 18th-century material culture. On a personal note, we have a network of family and friends con-
centrated in the Southeastern states and we wish to reside closer to our loved ones.

You, my patients, and your oral health remain a top concern. It is with the utmost confidence that I leave you in the good hands of my dear friend, colleague, and well-known dental practitioner, Dr. Jeremy Johnson and his partner, Dr. Kelly Irwin. I will remain in the office for a period of time to help ensure a smooth transition as well as to introduce you to Dr. Irwin.

Our wonderful office manager Jennifer & great dental assistant Zanna, will continue with Dr. Johnson and Dr. Irwin, not only to help you navigate through this transition, but to continue to offer the same warm and friendly atmosphere you have come to know and expect. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Johnson and Dr. Irwin to our practice as we navigate this transition together.

Dr. Jeremy Johnson, the most tenured dentist in town, received his dental education from Loma Linda University in Southern California. He and his wife, Heather, have three adult children and a 4 year old son. They love the Monroe community and have called it home for more than 15 years. Monroe Smiles has been active in the Monroe community, sponsoring events such as the farmers market and the Night
Out Against Crime.

Dr. Kelly Irwin, a Woodinville native, received her dental education from Midwestern University in Arizona. She joined Dr. Johnson and Monroe Smiles in 2017 and has become an integral part of their team.

“We are thankful that Dr. Marks has allowed us the opportunity to provide dental care for his patients. We look forward to meeting each of you and we will do our best to provide you with the same excellent dental care that you have come to expect.”
