going for a consultation next month about possibly having double jaw orthognagtic surgery

I was wondering if there are any birbe patients here who can tell me about their experience with this guy.

Is Birbe the guy from Spain?
He used to post here. Seemed like a really nice guy (spoke with him on email a few times, too). Not sure how he is as a surgeon.

yeah he has a consult in barcelona, spain. most of his cases are not jaw surgery i think judging by his youtube videos . he does a lot of wisdom teeth, plastic surgery of the face and nose surgery. 

i really liked his calmness in his youtube videos , seems like a nice person

No, he used to post here and we just got to talking on email.
He seemed authentic and nice. As far as his surgery, I have no idea, but maybe you'll get lucky and someone here used him.

I had heard good things about him a LONG time ago when i first started researching surgeons (maybe 2016ish).  Cant remember why i didnt look any further, though.  I think if you like the results hes produced, feel hes being authentic,  have a good consult, then he would be a good option. 

Remember to ask how many jaw surgery he does per year, and what his complication rate is.

I consulted with him. I agree he seems like a very nice guy and how fast they responded in the beginning really impressed me and nice chat in the video consultation. I remember him saying something like he can do 2cm of pog advancement, and I was like, well, maybe too much :). But it seemed like he was not very interested in going into details and discuss or share his view of my concerns etc. The nurse contacted after a while and I responded I was still interested, but added that I would want a more in depth consultation where we look at my cbct etc, she should forward it to him, but again no response.

I follow him on instagram. It's a lot of different procedures, not only jaw surgery. I'm not a very big fan of the results my self.

did he have your CBCT, cephs, and other scans when you consulted him ?     why did you feel he didnt want to go in depth about this ?
