I finally have all my money saved for jaw surgery, but no one is fucking replying to my emails or requests for consultations. I've emailed all the big names in the US, and it's been nearly two weeks.
I have a minor overbite, generally recessed jaws. No dentist ever has recommended jaw surgery for me because obviously dentists are extremely blue pilled and their only concern is you coming in biannually for cleanings.
I emailed the "big name" jaw surgeon in the US, they told me since I was out of state that I "needed a referral." Good fucking luck, I highly doubt I will find an orthodontist who will not only recommend me for jaw surgery, much less be familiar with Dr G and be bothered to fill out his patient referral form.
The only response I have had is from Dr. A in Spain. But even that took days just to answer my basic questions. I wanted to do a virtual consultation, but obviously I need x-rays/CBCT scans. I need to get the DICOM files from the CBCT scan.
I emailed like 20 dental imaging places to see if I could come in for scans. One calls me, it's this nice guy saying "sir, uhhh, you have doctor referral? No. Ok, you need referral for scans, goodbye." Fucking sick! I highly doubt I will be able to just ad-hoc get CBCT scans, much less, find a dentist willing to email me my DICOM file.
Because Dr. A is the only person who has responded (though it took longer than a week), I am seriously considering just eating the cost of flying to Spain to have my scans and consultation done there in person. (maybe schedule other EU surgeons along the way).
Can someone advise me on a non-retarded way to go about this? I am still young, I have spent so many years saving. I just want to do this shit and move on with my life, I can't believe now I am losing time on the dumbest of problem: some stupid receptionist watching TikTok in the jaw surgeon's office and not spending 3 minutes to look at a calendar and reply to my email.
