Meet Our Team
Dr. Kathryn Newman
Dr. Kathryn Newman grew up in Knoxville, graduating from Bearden High School and The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She married her husband, Luke, in 2007 and they have two beautiful daughters whom they adore. On most nights and weekends, you will find them on the sidelines of the soccer fields, basketball courts, or at gymnastics proudly cheering on their girls. They attend Foothills Church in Maryville. Luke works as an engineer for TDOT but also helps with accounting and other behind the scenes duties at Knoxville Dental Group.
Dr. W. Cecil Pigford
Dr. Pigford opened KDG in January of 1986 after graduating from The University of Tennessee Health Science Center. His deep passion for interacting with people and helping others is one of the key reasons he decided to open his own dental group. Additionally, he instructed in the crown and bridge department at the dental school for 5 years. He is currently retired but commonly comes around to fill in and see patients. In his free time, Dr. Pigford enjoys playing golf, traveling, and hiking with his wife Lisa, who used to work at KDG alongside him.
