Very few doctors perform CLL in the US and Canada. I know this may not be what you are looking for, but the closest doctor to you is probably Dr. Rozbruch in New York.

Lang,

The two only surgeons in Toronto performing Limb Lengthening are Simon Kelley and Maryse Bouchard. They are both pediatric surgeons who work at sick kids and although they are both excellent, they do not do cosmetic and only work with kids.

Your best bet is Marie Gdalevitch in montreal. http://drmarieg.com/

she is one of the best limb lengthening surgeons I know and she was trained by the world’s bests, without naming them.

I had the pleasure to Meet Dr. Mangal Parihar last year when I was codirecting the first Pune Deformity Course. His cases are very complex and impressive and he is technically very thorough.

Dr. Milind Chaudhary has also one of the most pristine reputation and he is technically excellent. We get to meet yearly at the Baltimore Limb Deformity Course and ASAMI meetings.

We were cofaculty in a webinar attended by 4300 worldwide surgeons today and he presented 2 very impressive cases.

hope this helps!

Hello, Michael. By any chance, would you know if Dr. Milind Chaudhary takes CLL patients? I tried looking him up, but unfortunately couldn’t find a website.

He used to take cosmetic patients and there was a diary on the old forum. Unless something happened for him to change his mind about taking cosmetic cases, he should still offer it. His clinic is located in Akola, India, which is about 300 miles away from Mumbai.

Here is his website: https://ilizarov.org

Dr Parihar uploaded a lecture on external fixation where you can see Dr Chaudhary and then Dr Parihar speaking about leg lengthening. Although not in the cosmetic sense, you'll at least be able to put a face to the name for Dr Chaudhary.

Recently had an email consultation with Dr Milind Chaudhary. He said he is very selective about his cosmetic LIMB LENGTHENING patients and would accept only after having an in person consultation and examining the scanogram x rays

Thank you, KiloKhan! I just finished reading your diary and it’s one of the main reasons I’m taking an aim at India🙌🏼  Mind I ask, why didn’t you consider Dr. Chaudhary as one of your options back then? His record is very impressive from what I just read.

Thank you, I appreciate the information! Can’t expect less from, what it seems, a highly competent doctor👏🏼

At the time, the only diary with Dr Chaudhary was from a patient who didn't have a good experience or didn't like the living conditions in Akola. With that, plus having to go an extra 300 miles out of the way just to consult, I ultimately decided not to go for it. However, after my consultation with Dr Parihar at his clinic and how my impression of the situation there was far more positive than another prospective patient who made it seem like you couldn't pay him to get operated there, it made me wonder how bad the living situation was in Akola in the first place. In retrospect, I wish I could have consulted with Dr Chaudhary, but I still think I would have chosen Dr Parihar in the end as his personality made me really comfortable, plus I saw some patients with incredibly difficult looking deformities being treated and became confident that he was an expert in his field.

Dr Parihar has had maybe 17(?) cosmetic patients since he started in the early 90's, so there aren't many diaries to choose from here, but he's done thousands of procedures fixing deformities or people who have had their limbs mangled from bombs. You can find a lot of reviews about him on Practo: https://www.practo.com/mumbai/doctor/mangal-parihar-orthopedist

Dr Chaudhary seems to have good reviews as well if the google ratings are any indication.

There are no CLL options in Toronto. You'll have to do some traveling if you want this done.

Lang,

I am not sure how much more clear i can be here.

Short of me ever moving to Toronto (which I have been trying to get a limb lengthening position there for a while, as I am myself Canadian) Your closest option is Montréal.

Marie Gdalevitch, hands down the best, I would trust her with my limbs and life.

She has been doing Limb Lengthening since 2009. She was the first in Canada to use the Precice internal limb lengthening nail. She is an outstanding surgeon who has done hundreds of the most complex limb lengthening procedures. She is one of the most experienced LL surgeon in the country. As for doing cosmetic procedures, i know she has done many but I would not have. number for you.
Visit her website for more information: www.drmarieg.com

i’m sure you will find what you need there

Thank you for your information, which has helped me a lot, but there is very little news about this doctor on the Internet. She has been practicing for 10 years. There should be a lot of cases. Her website does not show much of this content.

You may have noticed that due to our Public, universal healthcare system, it is not in the canadian mentality to advertise medical services too much. Go meet her, ask her to show you her cases.
She is the first surgeon that gave me the passion about limb lengthening. She is both confident, safe and technically outstanding.

Dr. John Herzenberg from Baltimore and Dr. David Little, from Australia, two Outstanding world renowned Limb Lengthening surgeons, consider her one of the best fellows they ever trained.
