Replying to you again. This is NOT a good thing because Giotikas will not be attentive to patients in Greece or UK now. Same practice Guichet followed.

Exactly, he would end up neglecting his patients like Guichet did. He is obviously starting to care too much about the money
Guys cool down, this is no news! Giotikas has had a practice in London, since many years ago. He has worked in England for many years and still sees patients there, not so much for LL as for for other bone problems.

👏👏👏 Arcon thank you for doing the research!!!
To frenchie and Bala, Dr. G has been operating like this for years. Do your research before bad mouthing a surgeon. He is one, out of a handful of surgeons that will actually turn a patient down if that patient is not a good fit for CLL and that means a lot well at least he is not just about the money. If you do your research, he had turned down at least 2 members from this forum.
During my stay in Athens, Dr. G would fly back and forth from England to Greece for my follow up appointments. His partner is a good orthopedic surgeon and he lives in Athens and can also be reach my phone. Dr. G has a good team of doctor, nurses and physical therapists in Athens that can take care of his patients in Athens. I’m not sure about his team in England cause I never met them. He give all his patients his personal line and to this day I’m still doing follow up appointments free of charge through WhatsApp by video with him. He is always one call or text away. I have travelled to Athens from the states by myself and did it alone but never felt I was by myself in Athens.
It’s funny how someone that never did CLL with Dr. G can say this and that and that and this.
Stop wasting your time on bad mouthing a great surgeon and do your research and focus on your plan of how you are going to achieve your goal of being able to do CLL then actually making the commitment of having the surgery and your plans for during distraction.
My bad then if he has been operating like that for years. But with increasing demand for a stryde surgeon in Europe, the projection of his patients should soar exponentially in the coming years. That's when physical access to the surgeon becomes critical. We have seen too many cases of miscommunication between the main surgeon and the doctors and therapists in his team
Wow if he offers in uk i rather do it in UK then Greece. At least, more comfortable to know that everyone speak english

Very helpful response.
Please could you advise on your recovery thus far. How close to your pre-CLL flexibility and mobility are you? How long has it now been? What was your start and ending height? How much did you pay in total?

Walking like normal nowadays well it’s still feel kinda different from before the surgery. I’m able to run but was advised not to jump but feel like I’m able. Flexibility is about 80% to pre-CLL. If you see me in public you would never guess I got CLL or had my legs broken. Gain 8cm in the Femurs. The feelings I have nowadays is surreal it’s awesome. Thinking back when there were doubts during July and August of 2019, thank god almost everyday that I overcame and those doubts and went ahead with the surgery. It’s cost about ~$53+k USD for everything and worth every single penny!!!
Does anyone have the stats on Dr Giotikas regarding how many patients he has operated on and their success/complication rates? I have tried to e-mail their office but they do not seem to be willing to give me this information. Also the lack of before/after results pictures on his website and diaries on this forum is quite worrying. I'm planning to get the surgery with him at the end of this year hopefully, I prefer him to USA surgeons as I'm a European citizen and want to stay out in Greece for a solid 6-7 months and of course the living costs are much cheaper there.

...Giotikas offers CLL here in the UK.
I’ve emailed them for confirmation. If they do I’ll be having it next year.
Wait so Dr Giotikas does surgery in the UK???
