Wauw.. that sounds scary indeed...
I wonder if other people have the same experience. Still, it doesn't mean he is a bad doctor.. I'll keep him on my list though
F. Birkholtz uses precice and prices are mid-range. try him

Yes, same experience and I was his patient.
Quote from: notatroll on May 05, 2018, 06:58:25 PMI want to tell you something about this doctor and I’m not a troll. I’m a former patient of his. I don’t have any interest in pursuing a vendetta. I’m not Lluser. But I think some members of the forum deserve the truth. I have nothing to deal with him anymore so I can tell the truth.
For me Dr Monegal isn’t a good option. I could finish LL unscathed but many patients experienced complications and many had to deal with the doctor’s craziness. His behaviour is erratic and reckless. My first impression was: get out of here. I didn’t. I feared for my security from the very beginning. The clinic is not prepared for international patients (nobody speaks English). The doctor is showing off all the time and he tries to beat his own time records during surgeries, in detriment of his patient’s safety. He drives like a madman when he takes patients by car resorting to all kind of profanity and exceeding the speed limits. He doesn’t care about patients’ wellbeing. He only cares about himself and his reputation. He has outbursts of acute paranoia related to this forum and is insanely obsessed with the trolls here. The trolls have taken things too far, but most of what they have said is true. This doctor never admits his mistakes and blames patients of their bad results. What is worse, he hides his worst cases from prospective patients and the rest of the world so that nobody can criticize him. If people find out about them, he denies his responsibility. He’s a pathological liar. Don’t let his superficial charm fool you. He’s not a good person.
So my advice: if you can, stay away from him.
Cheers
You'd better rule him out for your safety. He's not a good doctor. He has many bad cases and can't handle complications well
thx for your input guys..
You're welcome.

You seem like sensible person. In the EU, there's only Pili, Betz, Salameh, and Giotikas left, I think. I wouldn't even think about Betz or Salameh. Betz is (as far as I know) known for promising/doing absurd amounts of lengthening, had bad cases, and my problem with Salameh were his words to jackson5. With that said, you could ask Constantine his opinion of Betz, or Jackson5 about Salameh. We know nothing about Giotikas because I don't think there's been a diary, or a review of a consultation, posted online yet.
If you're willing to travel outside of the EU, there's Solomin & Kulesh, and then Barinov in Russia. Solomin has been publishing about LL for a long time. I don't know anything about them other than that.
There's also Birkholtz in South Africa, who seems ethical, but he generally doesn't accept patients over 165cm. And his location seems to steer away a lot of people.
There's the Ilizarov center of Russia, and they're very strict with their requirements. They're carrying on the legacy of Gavril Ilizarov, and it's a big center. There's only two diaries posted with them in this forum, so far. Wikipedia page.
I don't know if Catagni still performs CLL on his own (i.e., not just being an advisor/working with Pili), but he had height thresholds too.
Best of luck. And if it comes down to giving up about LL, so be it.
Hello myloginacct, I just read your message above, can you explain me what Dr Salameh said to me in private message please?
Big thanks!

Waw.. what a refrashing sane indput.
This is a thing im thinking about alot myself
My gut feeling tells me Dr Lee from korea is a good one.
My resonan - Korea sees cosmetic sugery as a Way to make one self better. Maybe thats a bit crazy for us but that is the mindet they have alot of the time.
They dont judge.
Another culture mindset i feel like is good for LL is russia. They are vary hardcore people who tend not to deal with others emotionel aspekt but gets the job done.
They lag on the tecnical side maybe.
Amarica is also the top place. I feel like thet keep it professionel.
Palay seems like he has minimal trouble for what everyone says
Good post .
I got the same impression about Dr M. back in 2016. I didn’t trust my guts. It was my worst decision ever. Advice: trust your guts.
Dr M. = Monegal here, correct?
Yes, Dr Monegal, probably the worst option for CLL in my opinion and other patients’. I have seen too many bad cases and in my opinion he has the worst technique and care, and a lack of professionalism. I have seen many patients lives’ destroyed (even dead one) to keep my mouth closed.
