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.

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!
