Patrica W. Newberry, DDS

Board Vice Chair

 

Patricia Newberry is a practicing General Dentist in Nashville, TN. Dr. Patricia Newberry and her husband, Dr. Huey Newberry, have worked in a private practice for the past 25 years. Their practice provides dental care to a large population of Hispanics and the underserved in Nashville and surrounding areas.

 

Dr. Newberry is very involved with the youth of her church, Mt. Zion Church. However, one of her greatest joys in life has been serving as a Dental Consultant  with the Samaritan Ministries at Temple Baptist Church. She has served in this capacity for the past seven (7) years. Temple Baptist Church has served as the backdrop for Dr. Newberry to practice dentistry overseas in Belize. There Dr. Newberry embarked on the whole country, serving the people and ministering as a dental provider. During one of her visits to Belize  a major flood had impacted the area. Dr. Newberry, along with other lay people, traveled  to the flooded area of Crooked Tree. This  community had been isolated for 7 months because of the flooding there. Not only did they see most of the residents and provide assistance, but they were able to be with the Chief in prayer for the relief of the waters.

 

Dr. Newberry is an active member of the Dental Society, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and a consultant at Beautycounter. She is the mother of Huey, Lindsay and Nilah and grandmother of three.
