Title: Anyone in South Africa or did LL with Dr. Franz Birkholtz? Have some questions
Post by: RSGC on March 18, 2018, 06:47:28 AM

I've been going back and forth with Dr. Franz via email now, and am considering doing LL with him sometime this year. I will also be having a skype call with him sometime in the next few weeks.

 I have some questions about house rental, transport and wifi. Have done research but would like to hear from people who have done LL with him or who are living in the area near his hospital (Pretoria, Centurion?)

You'll want to email his assistant Tessa (reception@walkamile.co.za) to get the latest pricing info, but here's the pricing as of February 2018 (http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=137.msg81489#msg81489) for Precice. Send an email to get other pricing info, like for externals.

I'm planning to have tibia done with Dr. Birkholtz in early 2019. I have been exchanging emails with Dr B's assistant Tessa. It seems they have a bit of change in policy that now patients are responsible for everything about accommodation, transport and food. Tessa sent me a list of guesthouse/lodge nearby the hospital and I have sent each of the facilities an email. All I can say is that the cost for accommodation is definite high. Anyway, if you read this and you are interested in joining me, message me.
