Found something mentioning an Antonio D'Agostino (Italy) and from that a FABknowledge website that has some leads as to names of other doctors. https://fabknowledge.com/antonio-dagostino-md/
another link from same website: https://fabknowledge.com/topic/
Thank you for the follow-up, kavan. Yes, I also see Dr. Esteban Alvarado from Costa Rica, and Dr. Octavio Cintra from Brazil here. While I don't know anything about the medical systems in these countries (yet), nor how “risky” they may or may not be, I imagine they would be cheaper than the US assuming they're using their local currencies, and are absolutely worth investigating.
I have consulted with several of these surgeons. I had my initial surgery with Dr. Gunson. I recently had surgery to repair the damage from my first surgery by Dr. Steven Sullivan in OKC. https://profilesofs.com/steven-sullivan IMO, he is as good or better a surgeon than any on that list. Competitive prices. You should know however that like movahed, he does not follow the Arnett analysis.
Hi there, does Dr. Sullivan perform counterclockwise rotations with posterior downgrafts? If so, he's definitely relevant to this discussion.
I know that several surgeons were performing the surgery you describe before Arnett and before the software was invented. Others may differ in point of view, but in my opinion the the depth, the experience and execution ability of the surgeon would be top priority to me. My virtual surgery plan from Gunson was made using different software, from 3m. Maybe there is some magic for specific patients in NemoFab?
Apologies for any confusion: I reference Gunson not necessarily because of his “style” or method of analysis, but because of his ability to perform CCW rotations w/ posterior downgrafts, a procedure that many people on this board come to learn they need, but are then left trying to figure out
how exactly they can realistically go about getting this treatment.
It’s my understanding that if a surgeon is using NemoFAB, it’s a good indicator that they are doing this type of procedure.
I agree that finding a surgeon who is experienced and capable is a top priority, and one with a good reputation can indicate that. However, when someone is need of a CCW rotation w/ posterior downgraft, while there are several doctors with good reputations that come recommended for that, many people cannot afford their prices. I'm trying to find doctors who have a lower price point, but are still capable of performing this complex procedure, and, while they may not have the reputation of some of these other doctors, one would hope that they're still competent surgeons.
Feel free to erase my posts if not relevant to the OP. Since Dr. Movahed, a fellow of Wolford, is not a fan of Arnett and his teachings and its not clear if Relle is a follower either, I did not think the post was so limited in its inquiry. I discovered Dr. Sullivan when he recently spoke at the Arnett Gunson Surgery forum, and i know that Dr. Arnett spoke at a forum with Dr. Sullivan in OKC, so it did not appear to me that i was making off topic response. Like i said, feel free to erase my responses to the OP.
Regarding Dr. Movahed, I have read that he is capable of doing CCWs w/ posterior downgrafts, so that’s why I mentioned him. Having spoken with Dr. Relle, I can also confirm he does them.
