My Dr's of choice are;
Dr Guichet, because he's very passionate about CLL (to the degree that he has created his own nail) and his nails allow full weight bearing. The full weight bearing nails are probably the most appealing aspect of surgery with him. Full weight bearing throughout the distraction and consolidation phases will allow for a much faster recovery. It will keep soft tissues moving and limber and you don't have to re-train yourself to walk, so to speak.. The lengthening rates are also very fast.
The famous Dr Monegal, because of his competitive pricing and his caring nature. Fitbone however doesn't allow for weight bearing.. I find that this will stall my progress in terms of how fast I could make a full recovery if I were able to fully employ the muscles in my legs.
.... And recently, Dr Franz is a new consideration. His pricing is hugely competitive and the guy seems professional and sensible. He is quite conservative compared to other doctors and reccomends a max of 6cm on the femur. I want 5.5cm. He seems equally as caring as Dr M.
These guys will be the three I have consult with in the near future.. I will be doing some travelling soon and I'll be popping in and see all three before I make my final decision.
What would everyone's opinions be if you could only choose from these three?

I'd love to do it with Guichet but his pricing is quite substantial… especially considering the other two options. I'm by no means incline to play with my health but all three doctors seem to display a high level of professionalism, so I have to factor cost.
Exactly 
I know the other two can get the job done.. With the extra money needed to go to Guichet we could do soo many other things.

Internal femur is safest
