Dr. Jim Dolan
PODIATRIST
Born in Mexico, raised in Connecticut, Dr. Dolan started his medical career as a registered nurse at Yale-New Haven Hospital. He chose Podiatry as his path after shadowing his Uncle Gerald, a podiatrist in Darien, Connecticut. He has worked in many different settings across the state of New Hampshire, from small community care clinics to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. Dr. Dolan has boiled down 30 years of practice to simple, effective treatments designed to return you to the activities you love. He is trained as a surgeon but performs no surgery, believing the way he can best improve your health is focusing on simple, noninvasive techniques to make you better. Dr. Dolan lives in the community that he works in – downtown Exeter, to be exact – and looks forward to meeting and helping new friends and neighbors.
