    Dr. Kenneth A. Doleski first became interested in orthodontics after receiving treatment as a teenager. This encouraged him to complete his undergraduate work at Allegheny College and follow it up by getting his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh Dental School. He then earned his specialty certification in orthodontics at the University of Iowa Orthodontic School. Dr. Doleski has been providing high-quality orthodontic care since 1991.

    Dr. Doleski is married to his wife, Tracy, and they have two children: Alex and Valerie. He is a lifelong Erie resident and finds time to give back to the community by participating in the Give Kids a Smile program and actively volunteering at his childrens school. He spends much of his free time traveling, skiing, enjoying the outdoors, and going to his kids extracurricular activities.

    At an early age, Dr. Marian S. Wolford worked for her father, a general dentist, after school and during summers. This fostered a love of dentistry that would last a lifetime. She then went on to earn her bachelors degree from the University of Pittsburgh before following it up by getting her doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. She went on to complete a pediatric dentistry residency at the Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh and then an orthodontic residency at the University of Detroit. Since 1994, Dr. Wolford has been providing excellent orthodontic care for all her patients.

    Dr. Wolford is married to her husband, Matthew, and they have four children: Claire, John, Benjamin, and Daniel. She enjoys helping the community by participating in the Give Kids a Smile program. When shes not working, she likes to ski, sail, read, and attend her childrens extracurricular activities.

    My professional goals are two-fold: to always provide my patients with excellent orthodontic care, based on their unique needs, and to be a leader and innovator in the field of orthodontics. In my more than 30 years of practicing, I believe I have achieved both.

    For my patients, I spend time getting to know them as individuals, discussing what they hope to get out of their treatment. Based on those conversations, and clinical findings, I then design a plan for their individual requirements. I love the challenge that each new patient brings to me, and even more, I love that I am able to improve their confidence, self-esteem and quality of life. Hearing patient stories of how their new and improved smile has made a positive impact in their lives is extremely rewarding.

    In addition to lectures I deliver, I also actively pursue continuing education courses in oral healthcare. Doing so allows me to learn about the most current and up-to-date technologies and treatment processes and procedures, which in turn allows me to provide my patients with proven treatments.

    I am currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Orthodontics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Previously, I was a consultant to the Periodontics Department at the Naval Postgraduate Dental School in Bethesda, MD and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Orthodontics at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine.

    At the age of 11 I moved from Ellwood city to Erie, PA and for the last 32 years I have lived in Fairview. My family members include my wife, Christine, Sons Richard and Daniel and daughter Samantha. I am an avid photographer, love cycling and fishing. I'm also a 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo!

    At Doleski & Wolford Orthodontics, our staff works diligently to ensure that each and every patient can receive the best care and customer service. We strive to put your needs first to achieve efficient and comprehensive treatment. Our team members are dedicated to doing everything they can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. No matter what your orthodontic needs may be, you can rest assured that we will do our very best to keep you informed about the proper treatments you need to know in order to meet your goals and the risks associated with any procedure. Furthermore, we strive to stay on top of the latest technology and advances in the field.

    I went here to get my braces a few years back. I recently visited to check up and felt extremely welcomed and comfortable. Dr. Wolford is very knowledgeable and took the time to weigh my options about getting the bar off behind my teeth. It is a bright office with friendly and knowledgeable staff. :)

    It was very clean and there was a nice coffee and hot chocolate station in the waiting room. The workers were quick and very nice about everything. They made sure you understood everything and that they were going to do with my treatment. I love this place and the doctors!

    When my daughters orthodontist was unavailable to treat her any further, I was stuck trying to find an orthodontist that would accept a transfer patient. This is a lot more difficult than it sounds. However, we were welcomed with open arms and the process of transferring her mid braces to a new orthodontist couldn't have been easier! Everybody in this office is genuinely kind, and helpful Kudos to all at Doleski and Wolford

    Our children had braces at the Millcreek office. Everyone is so great and the doctors are very helpful and knowledgeable. They follow up even after the braces are off. The pricing was better than others that we checked out. The office has a great atmosphere and is very comfortable. Love them!

    Everyone was very friendly from the moment we walked in the door. This was a simple visit and her spacers were put in pre braces next week. I was given a place to sit next to my daughter while the spacers were put in. My daughter thought one of the spacers had slipped and we weren't far away so we returned tot he office. They were great and checked it out and reassured her everything was ok. My experiences so far with this office have been awesome.

    The doctors are excellent! They provide a treatment plan that is appropriate for your child's dental health. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating when making appointments. I have had to take my daughter for a couple of dental emergencies and they were super helpful about getting her in as soon as possible to resolve the problem. I would highly recommend this practice.

    The staff was hospitable and accommodating for all of my visits. Treatment and pricing options were explained clearly and thoroughly during my free initial consultation. Appointment times were easily tailored to my schedule. If i had any questions or concerns at any time, they were answered and addressed satisfactorily. The care received was the best i could expect for this type of long term procedure.
