I'm going to do precice tho, since the risk for infection is almost zero, and it's more comfortable and overall less pain.
I have also tried to find bad experiences or reviews of Afa and couldn't find any either. I honestly think that this center is a hidden gem in Turkey compared to the others (Livelifetaller, Wannabetaller, yuksel yurttas) who have had patients with many bad outcomes. Because if they were really that bad then at least one patient would have shared their bad experience here, they're not that new of a clinic.
I talked to the team and you can also stay they're as long as you like, so you don't have to leave the country crippled not being able to weightbear until Consolidated enough...
The only thing that I think seems sort of sketchy is that it looks like they have bought reviews on google reviews, since most of the accounts only have made one 5 star review.
What is your feedback on that, did patients get discounted prices by writing a review or are they just bought?
I did LON tibia with AFA, you can check out my diary on here or d (also uploading all my pics and videos soon, I've asked the camera guy for all my content). The infection rate is 0 and i've only known 2 LON patients to get minor skin infections that subsided after 5 days, i've been here since February so 2/40 patients.
There are no bad cases, everyone gets taken care of, if someone does get a complication; which is very rare, it is fixed for free, everyone always leaves without complications and being able to walk.
The google reviews look sketchy to me too, whether they're bought, I am not sure but I recognize at least 20 of the names as employees or past patients. So I don't think they're bought, I think during conversation you may be encouraged to leave a review. Whereas for diaries etc, there's no suggestion at all. I am the only patient that done a diary, I think 1 or 2 others started there's and then just gave up. AFA certainly doesn't force any sort of feedback, if anything, I probably encouraged other patients to start a diary more than anyone.
My fantastically ferur-ific journey with Dr. Uysal and AFA in Turkey
Thanks for feedback! I would go with precice 2 tho since it's still more safe, but espically more comfortable. I'm 90% sure I will go with them, since it seems like the most convenient option.
I asked the clinic and they told me that they perform more than 100 surgies a year and the surgeon has more than 20 years of experience with orthepedic surgeries índcluding much more demanding tasks like disrepency patients. If you look up their youtube channel he has done precice femur multiple times. 
Quote from: TheDream on August 06, 2023, 03:17:35 PMIt sounds like all of his patients are LON tibia. I would take that into consideration if the intention is doing Precise femur with him. Things like ITB release etc. require experience.
As of right now, there's actually 6x LON Femur patients, 2x LON Tibia, 3x Precice Femur and 3x Precice Tibia (2 others in the hospital that I don't know)
thanks buddy! i appreciate your support
i have no idea what those Google reviews are all about. first time seeing them. maybe it's a search engine optimization kinda thing?
Thanks to both of you for sharing your experience, this makes one feel more secure about going with them for sure!
he did a lot of femurs while i was a patient. and he also did an IT band release on one patient with precice without a hitch.
