... here I haven't been able to find good recommendations on an excellent orthognathic surgeon in the Chicago area. I've read about Gunson & Arnett, but them being in CA makes it a bit impractical. Are there any surgeons with expertise on the level of Gunson/Arnett who practice in the Chicago ...

Gunson is no longer Arnett and Gunson. The name is misleading. Dr. Arnett retired a few years ago. I had surgery with Dr. Gunson and have so many very serious complications. The price tag doesn’t predict the outcome. My initial consult ...

Hello, The big names that are always posted and appear to be the most recommended are Gunson and Arnett. They are located in Ca and they do not take insurance. They seem to do quite a lot of reconstruction too after someone has botched up a surgery. I totally agree that's ...

... only consider a revision surgery by someone who is a skilled provider and has done many cases of revisions. So that means going with someone like Arnett or Gunson and paying out in cash as they don't take insurance. In my case I had a genioplasty when I was 21 and developed OSA after a neck surgery ...

... doing this at all; get the right surgeon. The good ones usually do not belong to any insurance carriers. I think a lot of posters have mentioned Arnett and Gunson who are in Ca. Perhaps ask the ortho's what would be the best game plan to improve your bite and mask the jaw variance. Keep us posted. ...

Santabarbarian, I’m curious to know how you are doing. I have a very similar history and surgery outcome to yours. As I am 9 months post op I am wondering what residual effects you have from the issues with your nerve. My nerve ruptured as well and there is very little info regarding the sensations ...

... user_id=26854] An update, since most of this thread is now outdated: I had my surgery with Dr. Gunson on December 2, 2015. I initially thought Dr. Arnett would be the best, since he has more experience. That was all I knew about the two of them and I thought that that was all I needed to know. ...

I'm trying to make a short list of those who are considered the best of the best surgeons in US & Canada.

Anyone have any input?

Arnett/Gunson - Santa Barbara, CA
Wittenberg - Vancouver, Canada
Posnick - Maryland

To Ravenclaw: which SoCal Kaiser Doctor did you choose? My daughter just had her jaw surgery at Kaiser Anaheim last week. I met with Gabriella Tehrany at Kaiser Sunset. I can't recommend her personally yet because I haven't had my surgery, but she has a number of positive mentions on this forum and...

... which should move the soft tissue in a 1:1 ratio with the bone, maybe going halfway will be enough. In the process of scheduling a consult with Arnett-Gunson to examine this option 2.) maybe also braces + TADS to move everything up (my one regret in the process is not pursuing this immediately ...

I second Dr. Jackson in Sacramento. He’s awesome.

I recently had jaw surgery with Dr. Richard Jackson in Sacramento. I was very impressed by him and by his staff. I believe that he performs several jaw surgeries per week.

From what I've gathered, most of the negative reviews of Felice O'Ryan that you would find online were written by one person across a wide variety of review sites, so most of those negative reviews are actually discussing just one person's case. Most of the reviews I've read about her on this site w...

... on the board 'search' function, but found very few recommendations. I am interested in orthognathic surgery, and my orthodontist recommended Arnett and Gunson for my specific case (related to rotational jaw surgery). To my surprise (and delight), I have found many board topics regarding Arnett/Gunson ...
