Hi, my name is Dr. Tamara Kroboth, or Dr. K, as most people know me. I grew up on Long Island and completed my undergraduate, dental, and orthodontic training at Stony Brook University thats 11 years in one school! I always knew I wanted to work with kids, but I had the unique experience of having braces during dental school being an ortho patient myself and seeing first-hand how it changed my life and confidence for the better made me passionate about making orthodontics my career.
I love being a part of Valley because I am able to do what I love deliver personalized, high quality care in the form of not only straight teeth, but also a stable bite and harmonious profile. While we create beautiful healthy smiles, we also have fun getting to know our patients and parents during their ortho journey!
I am board certified with the American Board of Orthodontics, and a member of the American Dental Association, the American Association of Orthodontists, as well as locally the Ninth Dental District. I am currently the President of the Dutchess County Dental Society. I live in Dutchess County with my husband, Alex and our four cats the newest one a naughty Siamese named Hairy Purrter. When Im not busy as a cat lady in training, I am watching Star Wars and Harry Potter movies, hiking, or traveling.

My personal emphasis is on patient comfort and providing the best quality of care as well as helping create beautiful smiles.
