Dr. Guichet is over rated, over priced, bad patient outcomes. Do you agree?

Edit Post

When I first started thinking about limb lengthening I thought for sure I would have surgery with Dr. Guichet. Now, after reading this and the old forum, I think that Dr. Guichet is over rated and charges way too much for his service. He basically charges as much as Dr. Paley. His lengthening nail is very old technology, actually there's no technology in his nail at all, it's more like a medieval torture device, and I personally think his expensive training programs are a complete waste of time and money.

Most importantly his patients don't seem to have good outcomes. After reading through posts on this and the old forum, i've noticed a lot of complications with his patients. That's just among the patients that stick around to post throughout their lengthening, a number of his patients just abandon the forum before they even finish lengthening.

Does anyone else have the same opinion and notice the same problems with Dr. Guichet?

I forgot to mention that in the very first email I ever received from him it says "you can do 10cm or more of lengthening in your femurs"

To me that is so unsafe and just insane for a doctor to allow a patient to lengthen that much in one bone segment, but then Dr. Guichet goes on to advertise it in his emails. Seems like a sleazy sales job to me.

This is exactly why I created this thread about Dr. Guichet...
