    The waiting room has like 3 chairs and I had to stand waiting which was inconvenient. The dental hygienist is very nice and good at what she does. The dentist is also very nice and knowledgeable but wasn't too happy with her assistant. She wasn't doing a good job with suction and made me gag and swallow water a lot. Also I went there because they took my insurance only to find out on the second visit they weren't going to be taking my insurance anymore and at that point I had half of a deep cleaning done so now I won't be getting the other half done there because of that. They also billed me for the full cost for both visits as if I didn't have insurance and now I'm waiting almost a month for my refund for the difference of what they owed me after my insurance paid for my visit. Overall just inconvenient and I'm left to find yet another dentist.

    Dr. Weddle was referred to me by my pulmonologist for a sleep apnea appliance. Her care for me has been very comprehensive - making improvements in multiple areas of health which is helpful and educational. The staff at Great Smiles is top notch. Don't think twice - go see Dr. Weddle!

    Extremely poor customer service and follow up. Misrepresented their fees and insurance coverage. Every time I called the office I got a different answer to my questions. Very concerning they are allowed to practice. After one visit to the office and multiple follow ups, I got seriously concerned and decided to change doctors. I recommend you stay away.

    How do you make going to the dentist not scary? Visit Great Smiles of NJ! Dr. Weddle is wonderful, patient and truly caring. It shows that she cares about her patients and their comfort. While she was working on my teeth she told me exactly what she was doing before she did it. If you need a break, that's okay too. They also have taken great measures to make sure you are safe during these scary Covid times. Extra security measures are taken, extra cleaning and extra equipment to keep you safe and healthy. Never thought I would say going to the dentist was a good experience but it was. Overall wonderful, pleasant experience with the whole staff. Highly recommend!

They are very protected and protect their patients against the covid-19 virus and all other viruses that try to enter the office.

    I've known Dr weddle probably for what is going on 15 years or more - only their records would indicate for sure how long. Nevertheless there's nobody I would trust my dental care to than her. Where else would you go when your dentist is a professor of the teachers that teach the students? Where else do you go for all of the latest in technological equipment, expertly trained staff, and a spotless office in Warren NJ . Look no further. You're in great hands with great smiles & Dr weddle.

    Dr. Weddle and her staff are amazing. Professional and easy to speak with as well as understand. I am at ease and comfortable throughout my entire time in and outside of the office. Thank you for taking such good care of my smile and health!

    Easily the most exhaustive and informative initial exam performed by Jennifer. I learned more in that initial exam than from all previous dentists. I also received a deep cleaning and was made to feel comfortable throughout and my teeth feel super clean. My wife has now set up her initial exam. Highly, highly recommended!

    I went to Dr. Weddle for sleep dentistry help, i.e. snoring/sleep apnea. My Ear/nose/Throat doc recommended her to make an appliance for mild sleep apnea. Not that I'm expert enough to judge fully, but she seems to know the field very well. She has a lot of expensive, modern equipment to do it right. It's a multiple visit process and very expensive (about $5500, and my insurance didn't cover), but I think I've gotten good value from it so far. I've only had the appliance one night, but it seems right for me and it was a good night. I ask a lot of questions and Dr. Weddle takes time to explain clearly. her office staff are also very friendly and helpful. She's too far away from me for regular dentistry, but I wouldn't hesitate to go to her for it.

    Dr. Weddle is the best dentist I have ever gone too. She is caring, she is gentle, and she sees past the symptoms to the underlying problem. She was the first person to suggest a sleep apnea treatment that has actually worked! I live 25 miles away and I am willing to make the drive instead of finding someone local because of how wonderful she and the entire staff have been.
