Your Board-Certified Middletown, Monroe, Monticello, & Newburgh Orthodontist
Meet Dr. Michael Skrobola
Hello, I’m Dr. Michael Skrobola, and it is my privilege to serve you here at Bracesetters.
I have been practicing orthodontics for over 30 years, and it is still a thrill for me to see a shy young patient blossom into a confident person as his or her smile transforms throughout treatment.
Being an orthodontist is the best job in the world, other than being a rock star, and I am grateful every day for the patients who trust me to treat them. I’m proud to provide award-winning smiles for the residents of Middletown, Monroe, Newburgh, Orange County, and Monticello, NY.
