Yup. This is exactly why I can't take Dr. M seriously (even though he's pretty good) and would never go to him.

Dr. Paley may be an ego maniac, but at least he doesn't resort to fear-inducing advertising methods.

I call it humiliation induced tactics.

designed to humiliate short people in society and make it laughable as a topic to the general population.

its only going to encourage girls to discriminate against short men openly. this advertisement makes it publicly acceptable to attack short people as a joke.

I understand all the controversy around Dr. M's marketing tactics, but at the end of the day, price is the most critical driving factor.

Plus here in Cali, I can have the first medical marijuana LL diary where I replace most painkillers with herb 

My stats: 26 y/o, 5'4" dude, looking for 6.5-7cm on femur. Been saving for 4 years post-college, and thinking about LL for twice that long. I went to see Betz in 2011, but the Precice2 changed the game with cheaper options.

Mahboubian only has 6 years of practice as an orthopedic surgeon after coming from an unknown medical school. Sure he did a fellowship or something under Dr Rozbruch but fellows don't actually perform any surgeries so it doesn't mean he'd be any good just because of that. Part of the reason I wouldn't go to Mahboubian is that 6 years is way too short a time to be practicing to have experience with treating all the possible complications that can happen with Ilizarov surgeries. Some surgeons have said cosmetic lengthening is the most difficult kind of lengthening, and here we have Mahboubian jumping straight into it. No wonder he makes amateurish mistakes like inserting screws incorrectly, as Stadiometer pointed out. Add to it that Mahboubian is right near Paley in costs and doesn't even include PT and you have a total ripoff salesman rather than a doctor to seriously consider.

I think Dr. Paley kind of deserves to be an ego-maniac. He is a phenomenal ll doctor.

if paley was the first north american to study with Ilizarov himself during the cold war then that says quite a lot about him, even though i believe that there isn't a "best surgeon"
