I am passionate about being an orthodontist and exceeding my patients expectations. I enjoy changing lives and am rewarded by the positive change orthodontic treatment brings to each and every patient, at any age. My commitment to patients is to provide quality orthodontic care to the best of my ability and to a standard I would give my own family. I truly love my work and take pride in seeing a spectacular smile greatly influence anothers life for years to come!!
At Michalkow Orthodontics, we are always looking for ways to improve the community we work in. We support local private and public schools in Fenton, Linden, and Holly through charitable donation and volunteerism. Recent sponsorships include patient sports teams, project graduation, dental missionary relief, and local non-profits. Its so important to give back and were excited every time we get to make a difference.
My wife Kathy and I were high school sweethearts. We have three amazing young children, Logan, Madison, and Megan. I am an active part of my childrens lives and the time I spend with them is precious. Aside from practicing orthodontics, I can be found sharing time with my family. We enjoy spending time outdoors, playing sports, and traveling. I personally enjoy playing golf, fly-fishing, vacationing in northern Michigan, and watching University of Michigan football.

We are dedicated to provide skilled and efficient orthodontic treatment in a fun environment and are committed to making sure each patient and parents understand every step along the way!

We love Dr. Michalkow and his staff!! Hands down the best experience! My son needed an expander because he had a very small pallet on his upper jaw. Within a year his front teeth are back in align and his pallet is widened. Plus my son then got braces to help straighten his teeth. We are now in a retainer and looking great They also give great things like water bottles and tee shirts to the patient. Everyone is so kind and my son, who was a little nervous and scared, had no problems and didn't mind going at all!! If you need a great orthodontist for your children, this is the place to go

My son had a fairly severe underbite when we first started going to Dr. Michalkow. I thought for sure we were in for a lengthy and costly treatment experience. In less than a year, my son's bite was completely corrected and his teeth are looking great! Thanks to my son's commitment and the wonderful work of Dr. Michalkow, my son will most likely be done with braces before we even hit high school. From the awesome staff to the fun atmosphere of the office, I cannot say enough good things. We are beyond happy with their work. Thank you so much, Dr. Michalkow and staff!

Michalkow Orthodontics is a family friendly environment! They have taken great care of our children. Always a great experience for them! They took exceptional care of our son at a young age when braces aren't commonly used do to an abnormal bite which was creating trauma in his mouth. He now has a perfect smile! I highly recommend the team at Michalkow Orthodontics!

Dr. Michalkow and his staff have been a blessing to our family! With 3 kids all requiring some degree of orthodontic magic, I wouldn't go anywhere else! His bedside manner, incredible skill, and pricing are all unbeatable! Go here...you won't regret it!

Best orthodontist ever! Everyone in the office is so friendly and welcoming. They have state of the art scanners instead of those gross impressions. It's bright, fun and your kids feel comfortable and at ease during treated. My daughter and I had braces on at the same time. She got hers off today (I'm super jealous) and her confidence and smile are beautiful! I will be getting my off at the end of this year and I'm so glad I did the clear braces, even as a 35 year old! I will bring all my kids here and highly recommend this ortho! Thanks for making us smile!

Dr. Michalkow and his staff treat you like family! Every time you go in for your adjustment or call them you're greeted with very genuine hellos and smiles. Now to get into the work that they do: all I can say is wow! Let me tell you they know what they are doing! I live 45 minutes away and they are worth the drive. Highly recommended!
