Dr. Patrick Kennedy Has Served the North Knoxville Area Since 2005

Dr. Patrick Kennedy received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, then went on to receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center at Memphis.

His late wife, Kelly Ballard, was a Powell, TN native and convinced him to choose the North Knoxville area for his practice due to its wonderful people, beauty, and proximity to their families. He started Kennedy Dentistry in August 2005 and has been bringing quality service to the North Knoxville area ever since.

He has since remarried. He and his beautiful wife, Sara, are raising two wonderful daughters, Taylor and Charlotte. He enjoys spending time with his family, especially outdoors. Their favorite activities include hiking, swimming, and mountain biking.
