This does not make sense because I emailed the hospital and their hospital fees is 16 thousand. But this was for quad, so maybe it’s less than that... I don’t know seems weird, I probably will wait until I see at least 2-3 genuine diaries from him

how much work experience does Giotikas have?
he seems quite young and just recently became a PhD
you cant compare him with Solomin who got his PhD in 1992

I believe Dr. Giotikas is an underrated doctor. He is a consultant trauma surgeon showing he has extensive education and training to be in this position. He has also done research in minimally invasive knee techniques and has a permanent post in the NHS system so if those residing in Europe, he is probably the better option for them in case things go wrong. Here are videos of him performing Precice surgeries. In my own personal research, I believe Paley/Rozbruch are the best surgeons in the America, Dr. Donghoon in Asia, and it is a possibility Giotikas may be the best in Europe. His pts have not face any functional complications thus far. Good surgery technique, follow-up with patient, has good philosophy, ethics, and responsibility towards patient.

1. Aside from his youth, the (relative) lack of diaries about him, and the relatively smaller number of cosmetic cases done compared to other doctors, what do you feel are the most negative things about this doctor and going to Athens, Greece for the surgery?

2. What do other of his patients who have finished/are close to finishing their journey say about him aside from his nice personality? I mean more on his doctor/surgeon skills

Some people criticized a nail placement or something from a Mahoubian x ray a few years ago if I remember.

He doesn’t give very good PT, patient having quite a severe contracture and extra surgery to extend sole muscle which is really risky thing for future complications
In other patient video, he got unnaturally flat feet and probably pronation deformity. These conditions can produce long term complications such as arthritis and pain when walk
Good doctors never produce complications like them
Also someone reported Dr Giotikas couldn’t do successfully the corrective surgery of the deformity coming from Turkey, and producing more problems upon this corrective surgery

I consider Dr Giotikas is far less than the real experts of CLL
Actually quite dangerous choice
There should be better options than him in EU

I consider him for surgery with him this year do you have any proof about (patient having quite a severe contracture and extra surgery to extend)? if you have i will propably reconsider. but as far as i know i he is the best choice in europe imo! and i need proof about that if possible (Also someone reported Dr Giotikas couldn’t do successfully the correction surgery of the deformity coming from Turkey,) because he is a Consultant Surgeon in Trauma & Orthopaedics i dont think he would fail to correct a small deformity. ty!

If you read very carefully the diaries here on this forum, you’ll find what I wrote
Also I recommend to do very deep research before jumping into it, just reading LL Forum is not enough
