Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Holly, if you're going to travel for your surgery, Seattle is way closer than Australia! Email me directly at r_h_marshall at hotmail dot com (making all the appropriate substitutions) and I will be happy to give you contact info for my surgeon if you want a consultation with him. At six weeks post-op, I am *very* satisfied with his work and the care I received in hospital (24 hour stay).

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hi, my surgeon does lots of these surgery's- i'm not sure what ramus and leforte are exactly, so i can't answer that. I can give his number and name if you want to call him and check, he maybe could also give you a cost for the surgery at the university. i would rather not post it here so email me at jaimi(at)lime.zzn.com and i can give you the details. He may also be able to recommend someone who specialises in those areas (if he doesnt) jaimi > Are you aware of any Australian physicians with experience in Ramus > Osteotomy and/or LeFort? No it's not too far to travel for a good > surgeon at a good price. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
