Thank you. Actually, I love my surgeon, and know he will
definately
do his best at all phases--it is the orthodontist, who I am not
getting on with. The hard part in all this is that my surgeon has
worked with this orthodontist on sleep apnea surgical cases for
many years, and thinks he is the best orthodontist. I thought
this collaboration would be to my advantage---the ortho,
unfortunately, seems very uncomfortable (and I infer this
because of his body language, terse/abrupt phone calls,
"accidentally" deleting e-mail from me, and noticing that he
seems more comfortable, approachable, and less stingy time
wise with his other patients (and I see this because I am treated
in a room with four other patients at each and every
appointment). It makes sense for me to leave, but orthos
generally decline taking on transfer cases.
Thanks for reading Flip.
