When Dr. John 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. John down a path that would influence his entire career.
Initially, Dr. John 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. John 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.
Dr. Monica Shook grew up in the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York after moving to the United States from Toronto, Canada, at age 3. Dr. Monica grew up going to a wonderful dentist married couple, who took her under her wing and hired her as a dental assistant at 18. She was then deeply inspired to pursue a career in dentistry and make the same difference for patients of her own. She moved to sunny Florida for dental school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic medicine, where she met and married Dr. John. They share three beautiful boys together (all born in less than three years!). She's blessed to be at Shook Family Dental and strives to provide exceptional dental care to her wonderful EC community. She is honored and humbled by that responsibility, 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).

When it comes to dentistry, Dr. Erin Tollefson strives to “never treat a stranger”. She values building relationships through honest communication, respect, and kindness. To deliver quality dental care, Dr. Tollefson believes in helping patients feel comfortable and understood in a friendly and relaxed environment. She wants every patient to feel valued and leave the office feeling they have been treated like family!
After spending her early childhood growing up near Rochester, Minnesota, Dr. Tollefson moved here to Eau Claire when she was 11 years old, where she would meet her future husband and then graduate from Memorial High School! After high school, Dr. Tollefson went on to get her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Minnesota. However, shortly after graduating she realized her love of dentistry through a mission trip in Central America! That led Dr. Tollefson back to the University of Minnesota where she applied to dental school, was accepted, and four years later graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery.
Dr. Tollefson and her husband have three energetic children, all boys 4 and under! They love to spend time together playing around the house, being on the water, and adjusting to life as a family of 5. They have always looked forward to raising their family in Eau Claire and learning more about everything this community has to offer.
