I'm going to london and paris in July and I need to know where and who does limb lengthening using stryde in those 2 countries.

Hi, I think Giotikas is also offering consultations in London. Good luck.

He is not inexperienced but he is nowhere near as experience as the top doctors are.
But it’s better to do stryde with giotikas than betzbone with betz. Part of the recovery is the method you use. He has a few good diaries but they are all for external tibia. He does stryde for 43k euro I think

If i have to choose between giotikas and guichet for internal femur which one would be better?

I had a consultation with him a couple of years ago and he came across as knowledgeable, experienced and very much "to the point". Giotikas has worked in both Cambridge and Oxford University hospitals and, as far as I know, you don't get easily accepted in these places. I don't really think that there many LL surgeons with such credentials. Best of luck.

Basically neither of these are top doctors but I would go with giotikas for stryde.

But I think Giotikas is one of the top at the moment. He is experienced, but at the same time young enough to be full of energy. He has a PhD and publications and has already contributed in CLL with research about body proportions. He was one of the first surgeons who got Stryde in Europe this year.

I have talked with my father.He agreed to let me do the surgery at the Paley Institute:)))
I hope I can book a consultation with Dr Paley in July.

Ghostfish · « **Reply #10 on:** June 23, 2019, 07:30:08 AM »

congrats, tom. It looks like you solved one big problem, who is your doctor.
For your information, I didn't have a consultation with Dr. Paley, although I lived in US. Consultation is not a requirement so if you don't want to or can't come to US only for consultation and are sure about the surgery with Dr. Paley, you can directly book the surgery.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot guys for the support.
That's great to hear Ghostfish.Me too i'm 100% sure of doing the surgery and i dont really need to go just for a consultation.I'm going mainly because of my father since he wants to be sure it's safe.
If I cant book a consultation in July,I'll just do the consultation together with the surgery next year.
May I ask how did you book the surgery without a face to face consultation Ghostfish?
Can you just book it via email?

Yes, you can arrange everything via email. I didn't make a single call or a visit. I did everything via email and just went to Florid two days before the surgery. That was it!
Good luck!

Absolutely not. I have seen more brutal operations, just as brow ridge reduction which is very brutal

Eh not really
All surgeries are cringy to watch but I find rhinoplasty videos or teeth videos way worse than this
Blepharoplasty even is a lot more gory

Apoplectic · « **Reply #19 on:** June 24, 2019, 07:52:56 PM »

The surgery doesn't look too bad, but man I can't wait to do it in a few years. I can't wait to live a life without this neurosis.
