Dr. Melcher came highly recommended by our local dentist, Dr. Belenski, whom we trust a great deal. Always professional in their approach, Dr. Melcher and his team have always been very accessible and pleasant to work with. There have been no surprises or hidden costs. I think we were offered a free appointment for evaluation and we liked them so much that we went with them. I would definitely recommend Dr. Melcher if you're looking for a reliable orthodontist who is local to the area and has been in business here for years.

Professional, friendly, and skilled, those are the three words I would use to describe this orthodontics practice. He uses the most current technology and he and his staff are incredibly skilled at making an awkward experience a good experience. We always felt welcomed. My daughter felt comfortable going there for her appointments. They estimated the time she would wear them correctly, and they were very transparent about the costs and process. We liked this practice significantly more than some others we visited, and we are so happy we went this route.

We absolutely love Dr Weddle and his staff! They are very skilled and produce terrific smiles…read more Along the way, they are all caring, gentle and lots of fun. My daughter actually looks forward to her appointments and enjoys her time there. Dr Weddle is certainly very talented, but what really sets him apart is the way he gets to know each patient and their families. He really cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to explain each step of the process and provide feedback on progress. Tara runs scheduling and is very helpful. She's terrific to work with and understands how challenging it can be with changing calendars, work demands, sports obligations, etc. She is always so helpful and is always wiling to work with us to find a time that will work well for us. She is fabulous! We visited 4 different Ortho offices before we made our selection, and we are thrilled that we found such a wonderful time for our girl's orthodontic needs.

I had a similar experience as Aj G, where my concerns were only barely acknowledged and never…read morereally fixed, but as an adult (and I imagine at least someone else who put "helpful" to his review also can relate, especially given what I've seen on Health Grades under Weddle as well). I had braces as a kid (great board certified ortho, now retired) but lost my retainer in my mid 20s and my teeth and bite had shifted some with OTC overnight grind guards and I wanted to get everything back. I had what must have been a complicated case for Weddle as he was open that he needed another orthodontist to help him plan out treatment, and I very much valued that candor and the fact that he went to others immensely. A wise person knows what they don't know, right? He must really care! I had close contacts of most of my teeth (a good thing, it helps prevent cavities), and nothing resembling TMJ/TMD when I first started treatment. I now have wider gaps in almost all my teeth besides the front eight (and no more close contacts with any) and placement that now results in food getting stuck in my front teeth, and needing interdental brushes daily now for my second bicuspid through molars as well, when before I never had to go spelunking for food stuck in my teeth after a meal. I went from 3 cavities needing treatment in my entire adulthood to being a high caries risk patient mid treatment on. My bite should have been widened a little bit back to its original, as I had requested, but instead with IPR was left narrowed. My front teeth still hit my bottom front teeth when I talk and chew once a week (I asked about this repeatedly but was told I'd "adjust"), and I now experience jaw popping regularly. After years and thousands of dollars, my bite was not fixed, but made worse. Weddle was rarely present for appointments, especially once I fully paid (in contrast, I saw my ortho every single appointment I was in braces 20 years ago, which also took 4 years). Care with the rest of the team became more slapdash over time as well. A button from a back tooth was totally missed when they were removing them, though thankfully it was caught by my dentist a few months after. My scan for my retainers also did include that button, and more frustratingly, was missing half of a molar. I would have had to pay to get it redone to fix their errors because I didn't put them on in office and catch it there immediately but waited until after finishing the final trays to open and use them, so I had to use them as is. In one of the only times I saw Weddle in those last couple years, a front tooth was shaped without my being asked - if so, I would have said that it was also shaved down after my braces (their own x rays should have shown that too), and to please leave it alone. Instead that shaving made it so I had a dull ache, and sharp pain with anything remotely cool or warm, in that tooth for weeks. Even with full time prescription sensitivity toothpaste in the two years since, the pain comes back occasionally. My smile and facial structure also looks worse than before I started treatment, and I've lost SO much confidence. I would look into shelling out money I don't have with another orthodontist to see they could try and make the best of my situation, but I'm afraid of having to deal with even further damage to my dental health with a third stint in orthodontics. Why this is two stars and not one? There was a short time I was being told what we were doing, and why, early on. Everyone was very friendly throughout, yes. Scheduling was easy. Teeth were indeed moved. But what I mostly comes down to is that I blame myself a lot. I had a VERY bad gut feeling as I was about begin treatment and almost backed out, then allowed myself to be talked into it by the Weddle team because they seemed to be caring and knowledgeable. Since this hadn't happened to me before I wrote off my intuition as anxiety, despite only positive experiences with orthodontics and all dentists prior. I should have paid more attention to that gut feeling instead of the sales pitch. All in all, I'd recommend that at the very least you also consult with people who are actually board certified. And speak up when you first encounter any haphazard care, no explanation, or non-answers - I was too much of a trusting people pleaser and just let this happen to me thinking it'd all somehow work out if I trusted the process. There are clearly many raves here, my acquaintance who recommended Weddle to me seems to be happy with her results, but if you are one of the unlucky outliers, you likely will have many regrets.

Which is fine, I guess, as long as they call themselves a "business" and not a "practice". And they call what they do "selling" and not "treatment".

That all being said, my experience with Dr. Chubb and his excellent staff is they operate a first rate, true blue, Orthodontics practice.

And I suspect most people needing orthodontic treatment will be too. Additionally, in my case, Dr. Chubb is treating my son's cleft palate.

!!!!!! Do NOT get teeth extracted here !!!!!!! While I have had amazing dental care from Dr Foster…read more(THANK YOU to her!), today I had the worst medical trauma of my life when Dr. Jung extracted my tooth while I was in obvious pain and extreme discomfort. My body was shaking uncontrollably and I was crying and asking for tissues Throughout the 40 min procedure. He put a 2nd shot of Novocain in when he was 1/2 done but continued working immediately, not giving it any time to set in... and I continued crying and shaking and yelling out in pain throughout the entire procedure. I couldn't even speak afterwards because I was weeping and deeply troubled by the violation that had just occurred. I know now I was having an anxiety attack. I just sat in the chair crying until I could get myself out of there as quickly as possible. I had even told Dr Jung and another member of his team about a prior negative experience involving a root canal specialist ripping my root out even though I was signaling I could feel the pain and he also never stopped. I specifically told Dr Jung "as long as you listen to me if I express I'm in pain, all will be ok." But he NEVER stopped the extraction. Just said he was "almost done" and I was "doing a great job." He didn't even check on me or say goodbye before I left. He was already on to the next patient as I wept in the chair. He never spoke to me again. Three members of his staff called to check on me in the days that followed but the OWNER who violated my face and my trust in dentists had not spoken one word to me since he said "I'll give you a minute" as I wept uncontrollably in his chair unable to even look a human in the eyes. He just went on with his day and week and life and let his (amazing!) team pick up the pieces. I sobbed in my car for 25 min before I could drive safely home. I had to use tapping to calm myself down enough to drive. In 2025, no one should have to go through that type of pain for a tooth extraction. It doesn't have to be traumatic or deeply painful both physically and emotionally. I was honestly still in shock and struggling with pain and sorrow and triggered trauma 10 hrs later. And then 5 days later when I got dry socket the pain was excruciating but I couldn't go back to that place for follow up care, so I spent $300 to have another dentist office treat the pain. Dr. Foster is an amazing dentist ... but I will never recommend anyone see Dr Jung and I had to tell my amazing dentist, Dr Foster that due to this extreme violation of body, spirit and trust I can never step foot in that office again.

Very friendly and thorough with what I was in for today. I was nervous and he and the staff made me…read morefeel comfortable . Up front with my out of pocket expense.

Our third daughter recently started her time in braces and I know she'll have the same outcome. We agree with another reviewer in that there are zero gimmicks here. Dr Biety is super friendly, honest, and won't sell you something/services you don't need. He explains everything very well, from the initial consultation, through the whole process, up until the very end. I was shocked to read in another review that at some places, patients rarely see the Dr after the first consultation. Dr Biety is present at every single appointment; he checks in with how the patients are doing, has fun chatting with patients/parents and his staff. There are good vibes in this office! Prior to seeing Dr Biety, my oldest daughter saw an orthodontist who said he'd have to pull teeth in order to get her teeth straight. Dr Biety was able to produce a beautiful smile without pulling a single tooth. Awesome! The staff is also so very wonderful. The same office staff has been there for as long as my daughters have been patients of Dr Biety's and that's saying something too! We are so very happy with everything at Biety Orthodontics!

They called to get her rescheduled the next day (Saturday) and they rescheduled the appointment for Monday. She showed up before the scheduled time on Monday, and they postponed the appointment for 2 hours later in the afternoon. They stated it would be about 40 minutes. It took almost 2 hours. While waiting I thought well I'll run up to the pharmacy to get her antibiotic prescription. The problem is they wouldn't call in the prescription till after the appointment was done. They're very disorganized.
