I want to start by saying I have no doubt that Dr. Jelic is a great surgeon. However, please do not…read morestart a consultation or treatment here with him if you're needing orthognathic/jaw surgery. My grammar isn't the best and I know I'm wordy, but here is my story. I went to Dr. Jelic because he definitely has experience and expertise with surgical procedures. What I didn't know was that he has a strong stance against vaccines. There's a lot to unpack there but that's not the crux of what happened or why I'm upset. Due to his vaccination status, he isn't authorized to work in a hospital and cannot perform double jaw surgery. However- he does not tell you this until as late into the process as possible. This is after you have already invested thousands on the surgical pre-planning. For me, it was also after I had already been in braces for months. His lobby (which, honestly, is very nice and cozy) has jaw surgery pamphlets and his website as of today still features it as an option. They're able to collect quite a bit of money upfront with no intention of actually performing the surgery, then leave you hanging. I do not believe it is an honest way to conduct a business. At the time, I was told instead we can do one jaw at a time (several weeks in between) in his office. We decided to go forwards with this and scheduled to meet in 3 months. On the morning of my scheduled follow up, I got a call saying they would need to do both jaws at the same time and they can't treat me. I asked if there was anyone they could refer me to but they offered no help or sympathy. They did not respond to any emails or calls from me afterwards. I wanted to thank Siri because her review gave me the courage to say something when the rest of their reviews are so positive. I finally finished my braces journey and found out from my orthodontist that I'm not the first person this happened to. He was not aware of Dr. Jelic's inability to operate in a hospital until recently, with the other patient. This is someone he works with and he intentionally kept this information from. The first patient had gone through the entire process required to prepare for jaw surgery, only to be dropped last minute as well. I lost time, money, and peace of mind for months, not being able to get clear answers from his office. I ended up needing to change and redo my entire braces plan.I feel like the situation was extremely unethical and I wanted to put it out there, and hopefully help even at least one person out there who is looking into their options. This review shouldn't impact you much if you're looking to get a more routine procedure, like an extraction. Jaw surgery and the preparation required is a hard enough process on its own, place your trust and resources with an honest doctor.

The duress caused by Dr. Jelic's office administration throughout my 17-month journey toward BSSO…read moreand chin advancement surgery has negatively affected my life. This may not be because of Dr. Jelic himself, as my appointments with him were all timely and straightforward. I have been fortunate to encounter many positive experiences in the realm of medicine. I was fully prepared for this experience to have joined those ranks. This surgery was for the healing of my physical pain. The experience with my orthodontist on this case has been outstanding. I have been wearing metal bracket braces for 21 months as a 44-year-old mother of three young children. Because of the way Dr. Jelic's administration has handled my case, I have now been in braces for several additional and unneeded months, each with their usual cost of $275/month. After roughly 16 months as a patient of Dr. Jelic's office, a process that included imaging, surgical planning, and bi-monthly appointments, a nurse at my last appointment directed me to request two itemized listings for the two upcoming surgeries at check-out so I could understand the cost differences if I opted to separate the procedures. The office administrator dismissed the nurse's request for separate pricing and seemed unconcerned about our questions that resulted from another all-encompassing listing that I did receive. The listing sent to us exceeded the cost range of the surgeries given to us at the start of my treatment. The administrator even misspelled their own name in their last email sent to me, causing me to wonder if my case was being taken seriously at all. Weeks later after I submitted another email asking whether or not a BSSO involves any short-term or long-term pressure applied to the turbinates--while this question never received a response, my husband did open a Dear John letter stating that because I had expressed dissatisfaction from not being able to acquire answers to the questions raised by my nurse, that I was free to pursue a BSSO elsewhere. It was also cited that I could pursue surgery elsewhere because I had been emailed as a follow-up to *my own question asked to the administrator during the phone call*. but that I had not responded promptly. The letter stated that because I did not reply promptly to this email, that this was interrupted as a lack of teamwork. I initiated treatment for my facial pain. I had paid the bills, gone through with large braces and experienced 17 months of responsiveness, during which time the administrator contacted me through text messages and phone calls. The point of the response I received pertained to my own request to speak directly with the doctor-- wouldn't it require a viewpoint of teamwork from Dr. Jelic's office to perform the due diligence of "This patient has never not responded before. There are multiple ways to follow-up with her via text or phone call as I have in the past?" Instead, it was determined that the best next step for the patient is restart their BSSO journey, in spite of their current pain level, in spite of the last 16 months they have already spent in braces. If you have questions about my experience and/or the road to a BSSO, I am happy to provide any additional information. If you are reading this because you also navigated hindrances that stem from significant malocclusion, then I hope some of this context has helped your own journey and that you find a successful reparation soon.

PRP is not covered and surgical center fees and anesthesia fees are really high. Nothing is presented as optional or modifiable. This did not feel like medical care, felt more transactional.

The office management is very poor, I was scheduled for the surgery months out but they called me less than a week before the appointment and said that they had to cancel because they had not received information from my cardiologist they needed. After some begging on my part they agreed to keep the appointment if my cardiologist sent the info, which he said he already did but he sent it again immediately. When I arrived I was treated okay by the staff at first until I was in the chair. When the surgeons came in NEITHER ONE OF THEM SAID A WORD TO ME. Instead one of them grabbed my chin and pulled it up and back, applying painful pressure underneath my jaw. My attempts to say something to her was ignored and she held me there until the drugs kicked in. When I woke up I was already outside of the clinic being bundled into the car with my mouth stuffed with gauze. I waited for months only to be treated like this because of a mistake that the office manager had made!! I don't recommend this facility at all and I have let my dentist know about the treatment and hopefully they will stop referring patients there. Update!!! One year after getting my dentures I have to have a piece of tooth removed that was left in my gums!! I can't bite down on that side because it is too painful.
