I just sent you a PM, Slysurfz. I think I know what surgeon you're talking about. And I got the same feeling from him in consult-- way too rushed, wasn't giving me the time/attention, and he was awfully arrogant feeling to me. Just not my cup of tea. I consulted with a few other CA surgeons, including Gunson, and I ended up choosing a guy in Walnut Creek. Definitely hit the pavement and go on the consuls. Your surgeon should be taking with your ortho in great amounts. You should be able to have a plan. I didn't get this with my first surgery and it was a huge mistake and red flag. It definitely contributed to my botched result that needed to be redone (original surgery was with felice o'ryan with kaiser oakland). But for sure, go on as many consults as possible. If you are feeling in your gut things aren't right with the one guy, then you're probably right. My gut has been right EVERY single time in this process.
Gunson is for sure worth the drive down to consult with. It may take a while to get in with him though. Last I heard his wait time was about 4 months. If you want to call my revision surgeon in walnut creek (nestor karas), last I heard he was not taking new jaw patients. Explain your situation to him and tell him you found my blog and wanted to see him and hopefully they can squeeze you in for consult.
Best of luck, but in general, do follow your gut on this! I wish I had the first time!
