About Us
Veritas Family Healthcare has a smaller panel of patients than a traditional practice, so our Doctors are able to provide you the level of personal care you deserve.
ABOUT DR. DENHAM
“My name is Scott Denham. I was born into the family of a career US Navy officer, so I have lived in places such as Hawaii, California, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. I attended The University of Alabama School of Medicine in Birmingham. Following that I completed a residency in General Surgery at ETSU Quillen along with additional training in Emergency Medicine.
I have been working as an Emergency Medicine Doctor for almost six years. I want to transition to this unique model of practice where I have a chance to treat my patients without outside interferences, spending adequate time with each of them, and being able to treat the whole patient.
I am blessed to have a wonderful wife, Allyson and three incredible children. We love the East Tennessee area and all of its beauty. The seasons, changing leaves and mountains are all evidence of God’s handiwork. We enjoy getting outside in nature in our freetime. My family and I are also big sports fans (although we are a house divided – Roll Tide/Go Dawgs). I look forward to getting to know and serving the people in Greeneville and the surrounding areas.“

ABOUT The Clark Family
“As proponents of free market medicine and excellent individualized patient care, we set out to do medicine differently more than 7 years ago. We opened a DPC practice called Black Bag Family Healthcare in Johnson City. We have grown that practice to having 3 providers and we are passionate about continuing the same type of practice in Greeneville with our newest venture, Veritas Family Healthcare.
We are excited to carry on the work that Dr. Berry and DirectMD/PATMOS did. Although we won’t be at the Greeneville location daily, you will see us in the office on occasion. Dr. Clark will be covering patient care needs when Dr. Denham is not available or is on vacation. I will be assisting the office staff in managing and continuing the day to day business.
Thank you for trusting us with your healthcare needs! “
