‘A step of faith’

HARDIN VALLEY — Knox Audiology has opened its doors to help people hear.

Owner/doctor of audiology Kalyn Bradford celebrated the opening of her practice, 10922 Spring Bluff Way in Knoxville, with a Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce-sponsored ribbon cutting at the office Thursday, April 24.

“We’re so glad you’re here,” FWKCC president/CEO Julie Blaylock said. “We’re excited to open with this new member, this new business.

“Welcome and thank you for coming,” Bradford said. “Knox Audiology is, first, a mission. This is my goal: to show people how they can be cared for and who God is to me and how I can love them.

“I take care of adults, especially senior adults, who have a hearing loss and just need help in communicating with their families again, being plugged into their world so they don’t have to miss out on anything,” she added. “Our goal is just to connect people to other people.”

Bradford has been in Knoxville practicing audiology for 13 years. She was at a large ENT practice “and part of a wonderful group,” she said.

“But I felt like God was calling me to step out and take a step of faith to do this on my own,” she added.

“I went from leading people to just leading myself and hopefully navigating as well, but mainly it’s been a step of faith.”

Duo opens Silver Creek with heart

May 14, 2025 by Tammy Cheek

HARDIN VALLEY — The Hardin Valley community has a new opportunity for dental care.

Silver Creek Dental Care features dentists Dr. Timothy J. “TJ” Hinderliter and Dr. Zack R. Martin at 1491 Hardin Valley Road, in front of Food City, that opened in February.

“I joined the team in April,” said Martin, who traveled from Florida to come on board with the team of 11.

“We are actually part of a larger parent organization, so there are multiple practices, but they are all doctor-led, so it is our practice, but we do have a managing partner,” Hinderliter said, adding the managing partner “figured out the location, signage and all the stuff that, as doctors, we don’t have to think about.”

“Our focus is on the patients,” Martin said.

“That’s the point here,” Hinderliter said. “We both have a heart for investing in the neighboring community.”

As such, they recently were presenters during a Hardin Valley Elementary career fair for students.

Hinderliter and Martin provide the full gamut of services, starting with standard crown, bridge and fillings.

Plus, “we do root canals, extractions, dentures and we’re expanding to implants,” Martin said.

“I think the list of what we don’t do is probably smaller than what we do simply because we’re set up here to try to do everything in house,” Hinderliter said.
