yeah i second that. i have seen hundreds of arnett/gunson before and after pics and not one bad job. i mean not everyone turns out to be a model but never did i notice something weird about the nose. just ask them about it. if you are a borderline ...

you have to schedule several weeks in advance. arnett has a tighter schedule than gunson. it's probably best to call during regular hours.

Hi there,

Does anyone have an e-mail address to contact Arnett/Gunson office? I'm from abroad and would like to book a consultation with them but on their website there is only a phone number.

From what I've found anybody who does orthognathic surgery with any regularity and is highly skilled does NOT contract with medical insurance (arnett, wolford, etc.). The ones who are trained for it and are in-network are trained OMFS's but do primarily wisdom teeth and implant with a few jaw ...

... questions ha :) very nice guy. From what I understood in my consult, is the same as CaliforniaKid, Gunson handles more of the surgical cases than Arnett since he is busy teaching, educating other practices, universities ect. I remember booking an consult for Gunson was like 2 months out and Arnett ...

... different people. Your surgical assistant is the one who walked you through your initial consult (i.e. Lena, Kim, etc.) and the 2nd surgeon is Arnett if Gunson is leading and Gunson if Arnett is leading. This is my understanding anyway. Btw, does anyone know who "Tamborello" is? His ...

well they must have changed their policy because i recall during the consultation arnett/gunson and the assistant (lena) were very explicit. i know gunson does more surgeries than arnett because arnett is often doing speaking engagements/medical lectures. your surgical ...

When they did my surgery Gunson was the lead surgeon and Arnett was the "Assistant" listed. They work together during every surgery.

i was told by my surgeon (arnett) that im not allowed to use ice packs after the surgery. i guess it would mess with the grafts or something? im just concerned how im going to deal with the swelling.

are you sure about that? my financial estimate lists a surgical assistant, but not another surgeon. i could have sworn the medical assistant saying arnett/gunson don't do surgeries together, but often look at the same patient before and after. are you paying extra? i know arnett is a little more ...

... aesthetics or strong bite? orthognathic surgery almost always has a medical motivation behind it. i know tons of posters love to pimp gunson/arnett, but in terms of aesthetics they definitely are top in cali. all the surgeons i met with were pressuring so many invasive surgeries that confused ...

I was told they will both be doing my surgery. Gunson will be the lead role and Arnett the assistant.

definitely looks liike arnett's work. man i hope there isn't a huge difference between him and gunson. I wouldn't worry about it, they generally operate together and Gunson is clearly just as talented or else Arnett wouldn't have chosen ...

I wouldn't worry about it, they generally operate together and Gunson is clearly just as talented or else Arnett wouldn't have chosen him as his partner.
