Hello,
If you had the choice between these two considering your budget, which one will you prefer going to? Both are top notch doctors at very reasonable price.
The only drawback is the countries they are located in i.e., South Africa and India, the hospitals, and their lack of diaries? Plus Parihar has minimal experience doing precise on a patient, only one we know is Penguin.
A representative of the Precise manufacturer is present during surgery for quality assurance whether you go to Dr B or Dr P. Both locations have comfortable options for stay.
If you are n a budget those are the best internal options

Yes but which one would you chose going to?
Both are far away from home but Dr Birkholtz has more experience in internals and he lives nearer. Where do you live?
damn this is a tough one

Canada but my hometown is near India, which means visiting India won't be as much alienating. I don't mind Birkholtz since the location where he's at is actually beautiful, but the thought of going to Africa makes me uncomfortable for some reason. I'm just seeking what people here would go with as part of my research.
in my opinion, dr birkholtz would be the obvious choice for the main reason that he simply seems to have a lot more experience with precice than dr parihar. I'm kinda paranoid in that I personally wouldn't be comfortable being any doctor's patient the first couple times doing a certain method, but that's up to you
Penguin is his first and only precice patient so far and I think it's still a bit too early to judge the outcome. It's a little concerning since he has not consolidated yet over 6 months post op, even though he is a pretty young guy. hopefully it's just a case of bad genetics and just really slow consolidation which could happen to anybody. I'm hoping I'm completely wrong about my concern and wishing the best for you penguin to have a great outcome at the end of your LL!
Dr parihar does seem to have plenty of experience in other methods though and if the question were about about external tibias, I think it would be a lot closer and harder of a decision between the two doctors.

That's true but I'm not sure how often Birkholtz does precise II on patients, I mean he does way way more cases for people who are in need for LL opposed to CLL (cosmetic). I'm not even sure when's the last time he did precise II on someone.

yes that's a good point and something anyone considering him should research further and find out beforehand if you were going to commit to surgery with him. I would also find out about the results of the LL patients he done with precise and if he had a major complications / how he solved them etc. I shouldve prefaced my opinion was just based on my initial impression and little research (just what I've read about the 2 doctors on the forum so far). but it should go without saying you have to research any doctor you want to go with further and not rely on the opinion of random people on the internet like me!
