Hello, I’m Dr. Nicole Dolezar. I love being able to positively impact someone’s health and self-confidence through dentistry. I earned a Biology degree with a minor in Chemistry from The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a Master of Science in Biology from UNC-Charlotte. While researching at Carolinas Medical Center, I discovered my passion for direct patient care and decided to pursue my childhood dream of becoming a dentist. I graduated from East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine and completed ECU’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program, graduating cum laude. I strive to create a comforting and positive dental experience for my patients. Outside of work, I’m a mom to two wonderful little girls, and my husband and I enjoy building a homestead and creating a healthy lifestyle. I also enjoy disc golfing, water skiing, and dancing to live music.
