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 a rock star and I am grateful every day for the patients who trust me to treat them. Im proud to provide award winning smiles for the residents of Middletown, Monroe, Newburgh, Orange County, and Monticello, NY.
I graduated with honors from Manhattan College with a Bachelors of Science in Biology and then attended Columbia University School of Dental Medicine where I graduated first in my class with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Several prestigious awards were bestowed upon me during my academic career, including the Alpha-Omega Fraternity Award for Academic Achievement throughout my four-year course of study at Columbia, the Psi-Omega Fraternity Award for highest academic achievement, the CUSDOS Alumni Award for Excellence in Operative Dentistry, the CUSDOS Alumni Award for Excellence in Stomatology, the American Academy of Dental Radiology Certificate of Recognition and the Enrico Fermi Award for Clinical Excellence.
After graduation, I entered a general practice residency at the world-renowned Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and received advanced dental training in all phases of dentistry. After completing my residency, my dental skills were further honed by practicing general dentistry as an associate in two private dental practices in Westchester and Orange counties. My passion for orthodontics drove me to further my schooling. I obtained my post-doctoral orthodontic certificate from Eastman Dental Center.
With a constant emphasis on continuing education to keep me on the leading edge of my profession, I am honored to be Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. I am certified in Invisalign clear aligners and Incognito hidden braces.
I am married to my beautiful wife, Mary, who is a nurse with a BSN degree. We have four boys, one of whom is currently an orthodontist in our practice. When Im not in the office I enjoy weight training, bicycling, and fishing. I have coached youth soccer and football.
I am married to my wonderful wife, Kellie, with whom I have two sons and a daughter. When Im not working I enjoy scuba diving, underwater and regular photography, kayaking, wakeboarding, water skiing, stand-up paddle boarding, and sailing. I also love going camping with the family and am an avid sports fan, especially rooting for the local New York teams.
Knowing that I can change peoples lives by creating beautiful smiles and functional bites, is one of the most rewarding gifts any doctor can receive. Im proud to provide award winning smiles for the residents of Middletown, Monroe, Newburgh, Orange County, and Monticello, NY.
I love to hear about my adolescent patients lives and interests and especially enjoy discussing sports with them. They are funny and often come out with some really great stuff. My adult patients are wonderful for sharing family stories, especially since I have three young children of my own.
From a treatment perspective, I love the fact that no two malocclusions are exactly alike, which presents me with a new puzzle to solve each time a new patient walks into the office. Every case must be dissected to determine why the malocclusion is present, and then it is up to me to decide which methods are appropriate for treating the patients concerns as well as providing the best possible outcome.
Dr. Mike is proud to join his dad, Dr. Michael Skrobola along with Dr. Jon Schlosser and the Bracesetters team at all four of our locations! He is looking forward to continuing the tradition of creating award-winning smiles at Bracesetters Orthodontics in Middletown, Monroe, Newburgh, and Monticello!
Dr. Mike continued his education at the University of New York at Buffalos School of Dentistry, where he graduated number one in his class and earned his DDS degree. He received awards for excellence in anatomy, physiology and dental occlusion, among others accolades and honors.

My experience with brace setters has been great. My daughter went through them for her braces and I have been going to bracesetters for almost 2 years now for myself. The people in the office are friendly and professional. It is always nice to see Angelica, she is professional and always greets me with a smile.

I went to Bracesetters for an Invisalign consult a couple of years ago. I always had major insecurities about my crooked, crowded smile and was really hoping that I would be a candidate for Invisalign. After looking in my mouth for a few seconds I was rudely told that I absolutely couldn't use Invisalign because it would give me a severe overbite. They pushed very hard for me to get regular metal braces, something I made clear from the beginning that I did not want. They shut down all of my questions and insisted that I had no other options. I was repeatedly told by the orthodontist and his assistant how bad my teeth were and how I really should suck it up and take the metal braces because braces couldn't possibly look worse than my teeth already did. I went in feeling self conscious about my smile and left the office feeling even worse. Several months later I decided to get a second opinion. I went to Dr. Jung at Family Orthodontics- they treated me so nicely, they were not insulting about how crooked my teeth were, and they assured me that I could use Invisalign with no risk of an overbite. 2 years later I now have a beautiful, straight smile and a perfect bite FROM INVISALIGN. Bracesetters might be good at what they do (old school metal braces) but they obviously are not qualified Invisalign providers and their bedside manner needs some serious work. Part of the job is to make your patients feel comfortable and confident, not demean them into spending money. They said Invisalign couldn't be done in my case, when really what they meant was that they didn't have the skill set to make it happen.
