Re: Re: orthodontist consult

October 6, 2005

Hi ,

I just wanted to send you a quick note, I noticed that you are looking at

orthodontists and surgeons in my area! My surgeon was actually done by Dr.

Levin @ UPenn, so I could tell you a lot about that and how everything went

there, what to expect, etc. My orthodontist is fabulous! He is located in

Bryn Mawr, and has seen me in minutes notice to get me as ready for surgery

on my own schedule! Basically, I told him I wanted to have surgery on a

date, and he made it happen (less than 6 months). Anyway, if you have any

questions or if I can help you out w/ the UPenn surgery/orthodontist stuff,

please let me know! Good Luck!
