I will see Arnett in April. Since Im coming from another country, I would like to take the chance to see other surgeons in the area too. Does anyone know Stephen Schendel? Is he a good surgeon? Can you recommend any other surgeons in California?
Thank you so much! This forum has helped a lot

Re: Other good surgeons in California??
Im curious about Schendel, I have heard his name thrown around here and there... Let me know if you get more info...
Re: Other good surgeons in California??
Im trying to schedule with Schendel, but they don't reply to my emails. I will try to call when Im there.
Re: Other good surgeons in California??
Schendel's prices are comparable to Arnett/Gunson. Not quite as high, but in the ball park.
Re: Other good surgeons in California??
The reason I was looking for Schendel is because I already had jaw surgery, and my bite is not so bad. So maybe a plastic surgeon can address my complains better than a max fac surgeon. But unfortunately none of the offices he works has answered my emails ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

are you sure your bite is 100%? any surgery, especially a jaw implant or augmentation, can mess with the mechanics of your jaw.crislopes wrote:The reason I was looking for Schendel is because I already had jaw surgery, and my bite is not so bad.

like a broken record, top surgeons in cali specializing in aesthetics+jaw surgery are arnett/gunson. if they say your bite is fine, and cosmetics is the right way to go...that's what i would do. the wont push surgery unless you need it. they dont need the business.
just my 2 cents.
Jaw surgery with Michael J. Gunson of Arnett and Gunson.

Re: Other good surgeons in California??
Hi Cali, My bite is not 100% and I have some TMJ pain on my right side. Im already seeing Arnett / Gunson in April. But since its a looong trip from where Im coming, I was looking to get another opinion by another good surgeon too in the area to know different approaches to my case.
