Our History
We’re a pediatric office built on quality care.
Founded by Dr. Joe Black, Jr. and Dr. James Benton in 1962, we have the privilege of caring for patients who are the children (and grandchildren!) of our first patients. We’re a pediatric office located in the heart of Fountain City, and are honored to serve patients from all over East TN and surrounding states. We love welcoming new families to the area in our mission to guide parents in the care of their precious little ones.
Drs. Black and Benton Pediatrics was founded by Dr. Joe Black, Jr. and Dr. Jim Benton in 1971. Over the years partners have come and gone, but the quality of our doctors has always been consistent. There are currently three doctors: Dr. David Teaster, MD (joined 1998); Dr. Nancy Phillips, MD (joined 1999); and Dr. Megan Mills, DO (joined 2023).
As one of the longest established and independent pediatric offices in Knoxville, we are staffed entirely by physicians who are board certified in pediatrics.
