Surgery with Gunson

#1 Post by Marisama »

Finally got insurance pre-approval to have surgery! It's been a long time coming for this. I'm having surgery with Dr. Gunson as soon as I'm surgery ready. This board has been tremendous help in finding a doctor and a health insurance plan. I'm looking forward to finally fixing my bite after two failed attempts with orthodontics. Just thought I'd share the good news.

Congratulations! I was also told yesterday that I was preapproved. It really feels good to know insurance is doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.

What insurance do you have? I consulted with Dr. Arnett and have Anthem Blue Cross. I was approved as medically necessary but they only agreed to cover $3,000 of his fees because he is out-of-network!

I think you need a certain number of posts. 7 if I'm not mistaken.

Very interesting article I found. Two somewhat graphic photos so just cover them up if you don't want to see.

Wow, that guy looks amazing in his after. It's nice to see some male examples of Arnett and Gunson's work. They are truly incredible.

their office has even better before/after pictures.

arnett's room has like 300 posters of individuals plastered all over the walls. all they do is jaw surgeries.

I've seen that article, really great result in the after. Check this one out, she's a knockout afterwards. Can't post the article but it's called "The treatment motivation Survey: Defining patient motivation for treatment".

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.
