Weller Chana Dr

Terrible experience! I originally came in for a chipped tooth, she didn’t even look at my chipped tooth and just kept badgering me that I had gingivitis (which, after seeing another dentist, I do not have). She then began stabbing my gums beyond belief, when I told her I was in too much pain she just blamed in on the «gingivitis». I felt uncomfortable the moment I walked in because not only is she the dentist but she is also they receptionist. just seemed weird to me. Point is. DO NOT GO HERE!

Been seeing Dr. Weller for several years now. I don’t go as often as I should but when I need to see the dentist Dr. Weller is always very accommodating and will get me in for an appointment.
Recently needed a crown fillings bonding. My teeth haven’t looked this good in years.
If you need a kind professional seek out Dr. Weller

Thank God For Dr. Weller!
I’m a 57 year old woman, so I have seen my share of dentists. Dr. Weller is the best. Ten years ago when I started seeing her, I had bleeding gums and two front teeth that gave me a chipmunk smile. I now have healthy gums. I’m sure her great cleanings took care of that problem. And I now have a million dollar smile. Dr. Weller is truly a perfectionist. And it’s amazing that one person can do so much so well.

Dr. Weller is one of the coolest dentist I have ever seen. She’s eccentric, funny and is not shy about letting you know what part of your brushing and teeth maintenance has been neglected. Its refreshing to meet a doctor that is both good at what she does and is her own person.

unethical, beyond rude, and flat out dotty. she should not be anywhere near the public.

Do. NOT. Go. Here.
REPEAT: DO NOT GO HERE
In my opinion, this is the worst, most unprofessional Dentist that has ever put her hand in my mouth.
Horrible Experience, top to bottom.
First, heads up to everyone — she has no receptionist. She IS the receptionist. So, if she is in the middle of scraping/​digging/​drilling/​etc in your mouth and the office phone rings, she’ll stop, peel off her gloves and answer the phone.
My wife and I had a horrible experience (overzealous cleaning exposed our roots that had to be covered by bonding which was shoddily applied leading to pain/​sensitivity and food getting caught).
Both of our mouths are now too sensitive to drink cold liquids, and my wife must eat soft foods.
When i explained (as I was getting my records — see below) why we were leaving, she literally looked at me with disbelief and smugly questioned my story. As if I would lie to her — heck, I didn’t even want to see her again, but I needed our records. She says to me, «Well, your wife had no problem drinking before she left.» Um, She didn’t drink, she rinsed her NUMBED MOUTH out with water. HOURS LATER the pain set in when the numbing agent wore off. What kind of Dentist questions their patient’s feedback?
She literally rolled her eyes at me and said it was our fault for not coming back to her «to fix it, as some of the work might have failed». Our Fault. Not the faulty work that was done in the first place but OUR fault for not coming back. As I said to her, if a doctor was supposed to cast my broken arm, but screwed up, why would I go back to him? You don’t give healthcare professionals a «2^nd chance» to fix their first mistake — MISTAKES MADE ON TWO SEPARATE PEOPLE.
When I went back to get OUR records (you know, the records and X-​Rays WE paid for?) she told me i had to bring my X-​rays BACK to her after my new dentist was «done with them». Even though I am never coming back to this establishment for anything ever again. I had to ask SPECIFICALLY for her treatment record so my new dentist could see it and she seemed shocked i asked for it. Isn’t the treatment record PART of our «Dental Records» I requested?
But that’s not all!
When she was originally working on me — as part of her bedside manner while I was in the chair, her hands in my mouth, she regaled me with her opinions on how «MOSLEMS» (her pronunciation) are terrible and that they are part of a cult and will bomb the US if given the chance. Then, she for good measure throws in that she thinks Atheists are bad people too, because they don’t believe in God. I AM an Atheist. When i mentioned I had an upstanding, Professional Muslim friend who was wrongly deported she retorted «GOOD!» I stayed quiet the rest of the treatment. (this was after hearing all about her dating life).
That’s not even half of it, but you get the picture.
All in all, in my opinion, there are MANY better dentists out there, (some just out of school) and they hopefully won’t show such bigoted opinions in their bedside manner.

GOOOD GOD!
I saw this dentist twice when i lived on upperwest side, once for cleaning, once for tooth chip and x-​ray. I just moved out of the city, So I give her number to my new dentist to call, to get x-​ray results.
She was soooooo rude to my new dentist, she would not give the xray information over, she said I would have to go back to NYC and get them, PAH what a crazy woman.
I was cringing when my new dentist called me appalled by the conversation she just had with Weller Chana.
She is a miserable woman, not willing to help anyone, I wish I never experienced this dentist.

I have been to dentists in many states and phases of life and I have never had such a horrible experience– painful, not clean, inappropriate questions about my religion and personal life… I was choking at one point and left with splattered water all over my face and shirt. Really upsetting.

Wow, that was a close call. I found Dr. Weller on my insurance’s website and the address on the website said she was close to my apartment. While making the appointment with her (I think it’s weird that she’s answering calls and making appointments instead of working on patients) she gave me the address which was actually 15 blocks away. When I started to hesitate and say that it was too far, she said goodbye and hung up. I then found another dentist closer to me and called her right back and said that I needed to cancel my appointment because I found a dentist more convenient to where I live. She rudely said she thought it was sad that I made my choice of dentist based on location because she was a Columbia grad, and hung up on me!
Not until after this phone call did I think to Unilocal her and saw here the other awful reviews. Close call!

Horrible experience with Dr Weller! I never used her services, because I decided to change to another dentist as a primary doctor after a phone call with her. First, Dr. Weller seemed short handed when she responded my call to schedule an appointment. She was very impolite and did not seem to care for another patient. She was so impatient and irascible on the phone that it was obvious she did not want to deal with scheduling appointments for patients.
Something changed with my schedule so I had to reschedule my dental appointment. When I called and it was Dr. Weller on the phones again. She started yelling at me that I am calling too late, and I have to pay $ 100 late fee if I want to reschedule. At this point, I lost my patience and yelled back that such a patient treatment is unacceptable. I told her that I am switching immediately and am very dissatisfied with her services.

Dr. Weller is very nice and open to explaining things to you. She’s a bit eccentric and should probably hire regular office staff. She is the only one that I’ve ever heard or seen in her office, so when she’s working on you, she is also answering the phone and leaving to get herself coffee. Other than small things that I would choose not to do or say, she’s very good at what she does and makes every effort to make conversation and keep you comfortable.

Dr Weller worked on me alone, nobody to suction, and she was a little miffed she had to stop drilling for me to rinse out the dust. She works slowly and talks a lot, all very friendly. When she put a filling over a cracked tooth I know should have quit after her first treatment. Now I trust Dr Greenwald & Dr Matani, both very nice and a million times more skilled, gentle and fast. PS. I agree with the other review that she’s good at aesthetics.
