We are proud to introduce you to some of the nicest people you'll ever meet!
Born and raised in Johnson City, Dr. Ratliff graduated from ETSU with a degree in Biology. He then attended and received his dental degree from the University of Tennessee in Memphis. He served in the US Navy for 3 years stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC. With the Marines he served in Northern Iraq after Desert Storm. Also in North Carolina he met his future wife Libby. Thinking of finding a place to put down roots brought him back home to Johnson City and in 1994 he started a dental practice on Sunset Drive. Outgrowing the original location in 2001, Dr. Ratliff moved down the street to 1303 Sunset Drive, #1 providing care to young, old, and in between whether simple or complicated.
The enjoyment of serving others is at the core of what makes Dr. Don Ratliff tick. Dr. Ratliff volunteers at the local free dental clinic and travels with his church to provide care to the needy outside the country.
Dr. Ratliff has received further education through the Pankey Institute, Dawson Academy, Zimmer Implant Institute, Nobel Implant Institute, CEREC, and SOLEA Dental Laser programs.
I enjoy having the ability to help patients establish good dental health. I love having good relationships with my patients and look forward to their visits. I go to the gym and enjoy being healthy. I love to travel, read and quilt. I have a wonderful husband and together we share 6 grand children. I am "granny" to an amazing granddaughter and grandson.
