In Memory of Dr. Steve Mays Gallatin, TN
Dr. Steve Mays was the primary dentist of Sumner Dental Group before passing on his legacy to Dr. Dushyant Patel. Dr. Patel was chosen to take over Dr. Mays’ practice to continue to serve the patients in Gallatin, TN. Dr. Mays started his career as a military dentist while being involved in the Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce. He was most known in the area of cosmetic dentistry and graduated from dental school from the University of Tennessee in Memphis in 1987. He is survived by his wife and two sons. Dr. Steve Mays took this practice over from Dr. Patterson, who is still a patient of Sumner Dental Group.
Your Smile. Our Promise.
