Dr. Kate Fox, DMD
Hi! My name is Kate Fox, and I am so excited to meet all of you! I grew up in Hendersonville, Tennessee and attended Pope John Paul II High School where I loved to stay busy! I was involved in soccer, theater, student council, prom committee — I helped to plan just about any event that I could.
After high school, I ventured to Ohio where I attended the University of Dayton for college. I loved every second of my time at UD, and made many forever friends along the way.
After college, I moved to Memphis to attend the University of Tennessee for dental school. During my clinicals, I loved getting to know my pediatric patients and was thrilled to join a residency in pediatric dentistry. Residency brought me to Saint Louis, where several of my aunts and uncles currently live. I have a very large family, and it was so great getting to share a city with some family members again. While exploring new places was a lot of fun, I could not be more excited to be back in Middle Tennessee!
During my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, watching movies, thrift shopping, and traveling. My family and I have traveled to some amazing places together, as my parents, older brother, and little sister are all very adventurous! My favorite trip was to Alaska, and I hope to return someday soon. I recently adopted a bunny who I named Walter Hopps. He has even come to the dental clinic with me to play with kids at the office, and he recently earned the nickname of Dr. Hopps!
I am thrilled for this opportunity and look forward to getting to know each and every one of you!
