... experience. I hope you post more videos, I'd be interested to see how your "hopefully speedy" recovery goes. Do you know if Dr. Gunson/Arnett do their surgeries in their office there in Santa Barbara, or is it at a nearby hospital? Also, did they use the 3D technology so you could see ...

Also - Ryan, Dr. Arnett will be helping Dr. Gunson with the surgery anyway. I am just happy that I have the best (Gunson and Arnett) doing my surgery. As for choosing the primary, Arnett vs Gunson, I want to withdrawal my previous ...

... seemed stressed at all. Good for you! I'm already trippin'. Are you from CA? How expensive is Dr. Gunson? Are you going to him, rather than Dr. Arnett, because of the cost? Also, did you get insurance to cover the surgery? I'm shopping around for insurance right now. Thanks, Ryan Ryan- To be ...

... implants because I want at least one cm of vertical projection too. Plus I don't have to worry about bone re-absorption. You should Consider Dr.Arnett/Gunson. They are apparently the best in the nation. Posnick is up there too. But since your in CA.. and they are in CA.. figured id let you know. ...

Hi,

I was wondering has anyone been operated by either dr.Henri thuau or dr.william arnett. Recommendations, any either who is highly regarded ?

Thanks in advance

My OS follows Dr. Arnett's protocol for joint meds. I am on a protocol of Doxycylene, Feldene (piroxycam) and Amitriptyline for a year prior to surgery (it'll actually end up being about 9 months) to stabilize the joints. My OS told ...

... is that splints don't actually stabilize the TMJs, only the jaws. Various methods of stabilizing the TMJs include meds and hormones (Dr. Arnett's method of choice) and imaging while the patient is on the OR table to make sure the joints are in proper position (Dr. Gary Wolford's method). ...

... care, nausea and vomiting (general info and when meds are taken), pain, pregnancy, questions, swelling, and weight loss. My OS follows Dr. William Arnett's protocol for orthognathic surgery, he and my OD spent 3 days studying in his practice in Santa Barbara and have attended numerous seminars ...

... are many other doctors out there that are amazing. I was under the understanding that Rosy had researched the doctors in her area and that Dr Arnett was their top pic from the 2 or 3 they had looked into. Given those circumstances I would choose Dr. Arnett, most especially if I was not very ...

... if somebody has a suggestion for OS in FL, please PM me, I'd be interested in hearing about them. As to the genio and the cheek implants with Arnett, I am uncertain of the need for these also. All of this is still to be decided.

Brandy- The problem I see with your logic here is the assumption that, because Arnett is well known for his work and well-published, he must be the best, and ergo , the best for your child. We've skipped the whole individualized stage of surgical consultation here. ...

... one that has done 500 or 9,000, I choose the one who has done 9,000. Call me vain, cautious, or just neurotic but if I had an option to have Dr Arnett....I would take him in a heartbeat, as his reputation speaks for itself, and only the best or as darn near close as possible would be good enough ...

Does anyone know of a patient with Arnett who only had ONE jaw operated on? or does he do everything (upper, lower, genio) on EVERYONE?
