Dr. Carmen Leary

CARMEN LEARY, D.D.S.

Dr. Carmen Leary grew up in Durham, North Carolina, which is only a two-hour drive from her practice in Charlotte. During her childhood, she loved going to the dentist, mostly because of the environment that her dentist (Dr. Paula Coffey) cultivated. Dr. Coffey and her friendly staff encouraged young Carmen to pursue dentistry, and she made the decision to become a dentist during her sophomore year in high school.

Education

Dr. Leary graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. She then came back to the great state of North Carolina for dental school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to complete her doctor of dental surgery (D.D.S.) degree. Immediately following graduation from the UNC Adams School of Dentistry, Dr. Leary finished her general practice residency at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Baltimore, MD.

Why Charlotte?

Dr. Leary chose to start her practice in Charlotte for several reasons: Charlotte’s diverse population, its quiet suburban neighborhoods, and the taste of city life offered by Uptown were all appealing qualities. The beautiful lake areas (Mountain Island, Lake Wylie, and Lake Norman) are wonderful for peaceful weekend getaways. She also loves sports, so the Charlotte Hornets, Charlotte Knights, Carolina Panthers, and the new Major League Soccer team coming to Uptown were additional perks of choosing to settle in Charlotte.

Dr. Leary and her husband have called the city of Charlotte home since 2008. She loves it here and is looking forward to raising her two daughters here!

In Her Own Words

“Family is vital to our practice and to the patients we serve in our local community. For me, family comprises my excellent staff and my loyal patients for whom I feel a great amount of affection and respect. And of course, my nuclear family — my husband and two daughters — they are my inspiration and strength behind what I do.

I invite you to join the family at Leary Family Dentistry. We are excited to meet and serve you and your family."

"I am so pleased with this Dentist and happy to now be part of the family! This was my first visit. Everyone went out of their way to be nice, making sure I was well taken care of and all my questions were fully answered. They did a very thorough cleaning and made sure to explain what was going on and even showed me pictures when reviewing their suggestions for next steps / plan. I also appreciated the fact that they were mindful of my time. I had mentioned that I had to go back to work when done and they made a point to get me out in a reasonable time while still making sure I was fully cared for. When I went to check out, they were clear and upfront with all potential charges based off what I wanted to do going forward. Extremely reasonable with their pricing. It did take a few months to get my first vist, but after I read all the reviews I will say it was worth the wait! Highly recommend!!! Thank you Leary Family for all you do.😊"
