Get to Know Dr. Nicholas Hatcher
Originally from Charleston, West Virginia, Dr. Hatcher was drawn to creativity and detailed craftsmanship from an early age. He enjoyed sketching blueprints, building intricate wooden models, and exploring architecture. As he began considering his future, he realized dentistry would allow him to combine precision and hands-on work with healthcare, personal interaction, and the opportunity to help people feel confident in their smiles.
Dr. Hatcher earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from West Virginia University before attending Creighton University School of Dentistry, where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. He is committed to continuing his education and staying current with evidence-based dentistry so he can provide comfortable, personalized treatment and the best possible outcomes for his patients.

When he is not caring for patients, Dr. Hatcher enjoys playing tennis, hiking, and learning to golf. He is also a country music fan, collects magnets from every place he visits, and hopes to eventually explore all 50 states and every national park in the country. Much of his family still lives in West Virginia, along with his dog, Otis, who has become a neighborhood favorite. Dr. Hatcher is excited to make Flagstaff his home and explore everything Northern Arizona has to offer.
Dr. Hatcher's philosophy of care
“I believe excellent dental care begins with warm communication, trust, and attention to detail. Every patient brings a different history, set of concerns, and vision for their health, so it is important to me to listen carefully and provide care that is personalized to each individual. My goal is to create a supportive and welcoming environment where patients feel comfortable, confident, and fully informed. I want every visit to Flagstaff Smiles to feel like a positive part of caring for yourself rather than a stressful task.”
