Waldron Family Smile Center is located in Middletown, NY, specializing in family dental care, orthodontics, and comprehensive restorations. Our practice, founded in 1996, has been a long time coming for Dr. Michael J. Waldron, who knew even at a young age that he wanted to become a doctor and help people — and it was in his sophomore year at the State University of New York at Albany, working as a dental assistant, that he found his way into dentistry. During his time as a dental assistant, he saw firsthand how modern dentistry could help people maintain and even improve their health. This led him to pursue an education at the New York University College of Dentistry, where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 1992, following the completion of his undergrad in 1988.
