He was such a good man and a great dentist. He was my dentist from about 11 years old until he retired. He was my children's dentist as well. So willing to help people. Absolutely loved this man.

So sorry to hear this. I worked for Dr. Knight for many years. He was always a kind man. When he was coming down the stairs to check a patient, he was always humming or whistling. Always full of joy. I have thought of him often through the years. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear this. What a great man & Dentist. He was my Dentist all the time he was in practice in Midland. Not only did he treat me as a patient but as a good friend. Always spoke to me in public knew me by sight & my family. While a Dentist not normally a place I wanted to go I always enjoyed seeing him knowing we'd share some good stories even if I wasn't having the best appointment. RIP Dr Knight.
