Hello Mrkdilkington! Sorry, I didn't see your Q until just now. I think I may have posted some recovery info on another thread.

Hi SantaBarbarian, thanks for your post, it's extremely helpful as I'm getting ready to have surgery with Dr. Relle (also out-of-network) in Los Angeles this summer for sleep apnea/uars & anterior open bite.

You have no regrets and would still recommend Dr. Gunson to others, even though he severed your nerve?

An update, since most of this thread is now outdated: I had my surgery with Dr.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.

Hello, This is the first item that pops up when you search for "arnett gunson cost." I see all the information on here, while good, is fairly old and deserves an update. I had surgery with Dr. Gunson on December 2, 2015 - 18 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm ...

... this with Dr. Day, but his arrogance got in the way. On one occasion he made her cry he was so nasty to her. She finally gave up and went to Dr. Arnett for a do-over and is much happier now.

I have a overbite and my jaw is misaligned. I heard Dr Arnett and Gunson from Santa Barbara California are the best surgeons for jaw surgery but the problem is I live in Connecticut. Does anyone know of any good jaw surgery surgeons in Connecticut? ...

Well, one of the posters said he couldn't get in until the new year and it was September, so maybe ~4 months for Arnett? Why don't you call over and ask? I'm sure the person at the front desk would be happy to tell you.
