Talking to surgeon about problems

[Guest guest]

I don't know about the rest of you in regards to relationship with

your surgeons, but from day one I have been hesitant about this whole

thing. I know my Orthodontist and Surgeon sense this with me. I don't

think I complain alot about different things to them, but they always

make me feel that way when I bring something up that bothers me. For

instance the last time I went to see my Orthodontist he was very busy

and I had some questions for him about things specifically about my

orthodontics. I felt like he was rushing me or he just didnt want to

be bothered with the questions. My surgeon is similar, He acts like

everything is supposed to be the way it is. I know when I bring this

up to him he will just say , give it time or its better than what you

had. The symmetry issue is not the only thing I want to discuss with

him either. There is a list, and I feel they are all important items

to be discussed. My question is, How do some of you approach your

doctor about things that they may take offense to. Its like I am

criticizing their work or something. I know it must be hard for them

to accept they didn't do a 100% job but I am very particular about

things and just want answers. I get the sense from my surgeon that he

thinks he can walk on water. I only wish that were true.
