I think blue cross pretty dependably covers about 10k normally of an arnett/gunson surgery, which isn't much of a dent, but it's something. Their insurance person probably told you something to the effect of that. My blue cross covered 18k of it, but I'm a ...

... so long as I'm in good hands and my insurance covers a good portion of the procedure. I've already compiled a list of some well known surgeons (Arnett/Gunson, Posnick, Schendel, Super) but wonder if I'm missing any others? Thanks a lot guys!

Does anyone know of an excellent surgeon on the West Coast that has the same notoriety as Dr. Arnett and Gunson. I am considering other surgeons that might accept more insurance coverage. I have condylar hyperplasia and moderate TMJ pain. I've been told my case is quite ...

... increase in price...I hope that it works just as well. Today is my first day on it, and it doesn't feel any different. Anyone else on the Gunson / Arnett joint "ocean" having this problem? Feel any different with Celebrex than you did on Feldine?

I rented a suite for month (apparently it's cheaper than or 3 weeks...go figure) at I think it is called the best western encinas. It was like $2300 or so.

Was wondering if anyone could share information on lodging in Santa Barbara, CA. Any info or suggestions would be great.

OMG Cyn. I can't even imagine what you've gone through WOW.

From everything I've heard on hear Arnett is an awesome surgeon so I am going to keep my fingers crossed that this is the last time and that you get the results you deserve.

I'm having my third jaw surgery April 14th in Santa Barbara with Arnett (the only surgeon who didn't run screaming from my case haha). It will be my 3rd le fort and 2nd bsso and they'll probably undo my old genio and I'm scheduled for 34 bone grafts. Good ...

Hi all, I'll give you guys the preview for my blog tonight...I'm going to Santa Barbara at the end of next week to see Dr. Gunson (and probably Dr. Arnett too). They are concern that my joints may be to weak to support my bite...and my bite isn't fitting properly to support my joints...my ortho ...

... and all the weight is on my front teeth....SO lucky me I get to go back to Santa Barbara next week for an emergency visit with Dr's.

I consulted with Dr. Yafai. As far as I know, there is nobody else with LA Kaiser. I appreciate the Gunson and Arnett recccomendations. That's a bit of a trip for me but considering the severity of the undertaking, well worth it. The oral surgeon that my ortho uses is Harry Schwartz. ...
