Dear Friends
I am writing you today to share that at the end of June, I will be retiring from dentistry.
As I celebrate my 32nd year of dentistry, I want to thank all of you who have given me the privilege of being your dentist. Your trust and confidence in me and my staff have been both professionally rewarding and personally humbling. The relationships that I have had with so many of you have been a big part of my life, and I am grateful to consider you friends. After much deliberation, I have decided it is time to hand over the reins and transition into the next phase of my life.
I feel that my departure necessitates finding a new dentist for you, one who will continue to serve you and your families with kind and caring hands. As a result of careful evaluation, I have found Dr. Despina Markogiannakis, who will provide you with the same philosophy of excellent care that you expect and deserve. Dr. Markogiannakis is an exceptional clinician. She is also a warm and personal provider, much loved and respected by her team, patients and other colleagues in the community. You can discover more about her and her practice by visiting www.smilesofchevychase.com. I look forward to working alongside her.
We plan to begin the transition in the New Year starting January 3. At that time, you will be seen by me for your regular scheduled appointment, however, it will be in Dr. Markogiannakis’ beautiful office located in our same building, 5454 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 810. Our telephone number will remain the same, and you will see familiar faces, as both Anne and Tyrese have decided to join the new team—this makes me very happy. I will work with Dr. Markogiannakis through the end of June to ensure a smooth transition, so know that I will see all of you before my departure.
Thank you for entrusting me with your dental care needs, and keep smiling, as I have every confidence that your relationship with Dr. Markogiannakis will be equally successful.
With great appreciation for making my years of practicing dentistry so special,
— John Chick, DMD
