Thank you, but can you elaborate a bit more? I am truly trying to make the best decision here. If Limbplastx can do femurs just as well and that's what I'm getting done, why shouldn't I go with them?

They can't. It's that simple.

Okay, are there any reports / evidence of this?

This should be enough.

That's refencing the tibias though

If a surgeon can only do femurs well and not tibias, then that should tell you that he's not a skilled doctor.
By the way, femurs are the easiest to do safely that's why many doctors prefer to do it. But that doesn't mean that it's best to do it with a less skilled and experienced surgeon.

Thank you, this is helpful
I just had my femurs done for precise 2.2 with Dr. D 3 weeks ago. Paid $70k for everything. If you have any questions I’ll try to give an unbiased opinion. I mean he’s not as experienced as Paley in limb lengthening. But he’s doing like 2-3 cases per week, and also a Harvard world class orthopedic surgeon that does regular spine and limb surgeries on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (Friday is where he does CLL cases). I’m not sure where the doubt in his credentials comes, but yeah you can’t compare him to Paley for CLL, I don’t think you can compare ANY doctor to Paley in that regards. But that doesn’t mean Dr. D doesn’t know what he’s doing. Guys literally like a to surgeon in general, period.

So the only reason we'd go with him instead of Paley is to save $20k?

Yeah I mean for me a few reason is I can wfh in tech based out of San Francisco. Time zone was a big part for me, I didn’t take a single day off from work except surgery day. Logistically I was able to drive to Las Vegas and find a 3 br airbnb for $2k a month.
I think it really is a person in person basis. Dr. Paley is the more experienced surgeon, no doubt, but it’s not a really hard surgery..I watched full videos on YouTube. It’s a 1.5 hour operation and Dr. D is easily qualified for the job.
TLDR, I don’t think you can go wrong with either surgeons. They’re both top of the line. If you have specific questions on the process of Dr. D and what to expect, I’d be happy to answer it for you.
I think one thing overlooked is that because the amount of volume in Paley, it’s harder for him to for a personal connection with you. Dr D doesn’t have that volume and knows each of his patients by heart. He can chat about any single of his patients, who they are, where they work, and what their journey was like. I met a guy in PT and was chatting about hey this guy “bob” and he was like oh yeah the guy that work at X. Well he’s in a wheelchair because he weighs 200 pounds and you don’t so you should be on your walker more.
Really pros and cons of both, but I think any of the famous 5 or 6 US CLL surgeons, you’re in good hands. Just depends logistically what works best for you.
