Dr. Dimitrios Giotikas, MD, PhD or Dr. Donghoon Lee?

Edit Post

Hi LL Forum,

Can someone point me in the right direction.  I'm planning to do LLS on my Femurs with Stryde or Precise-2 since I'm only 135lbs. 

Anyone can give me their insight on Dr. Dimitrios Giotikas, MD, PhD or Dr. Donghoon Lee?
Both have informative website but somehow I can't find any previous performed LLS pictures on Dr. Dimitrios Giotikas site nor testimony.

Should I go with Dr. Dimitrios Giotikas, MD, PhD or Dr. Donghoon Lee?

Thanks

Hi azman
I just want to make a comment of your weight. Since you are only 135lbs, you may think Precice is enough for a full weight bearing. I thought so before.  However, I met a girl in Paley institute who is definitely below 135lbs.  She was doing cll with precice because she did it just before Stryde available.  She was extremely cautious about weight bearing although her weight was below Precice weight bearing.  She said Precice nails can't guarantee she is safe, it would be better for her to be very cautious.  So I don't think you can expect to walk like Stryde with Precice nails, even if you are very light.  Ask doctors to make sure.

I believe you are safe with both choices.

WGT - Thank you I'm more confident with Dr. Giotikas after our phone consult plus his office will assist with visa if my stay pass 90 days in Athen.  He is my 2nd choice now.  My first choice is Dr. Rozbruch after reading SLM diaries and will fly out to NY for a consult during the summer, just hoping my insurance will cover the HSS bill, but will know after my consult, if I not I'll be flying out to Athens early 2020.

Ghostfish - Yeah after doing more research, I decided to go with Stryde.

Kenda - I haven't spoke to Dr. Lee and are not sure if he has Stryde or not. 

I'm not much of a poster because I don't want to post any wrong information, but I will post a diary will I start my LLS, well maybe a month after since that is most likely will the pain goes down and I'll have more free time to do so.

For the mean time, just doing A LOT of research and getiing as much informations down as possible, like what I should do to get my body ready for surgery, what I should be eating like diet & supplements, and what I should buy like equipments and stuff like that.

Do anyone know if there a post or folder that has those information of Pre and Post LLS readiness?

Thank you guys for all your help, You guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rozbruch is obvious a safe choice too. Price for him: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=9734.0

I emailed Dr Lee and the secretary told me they will have stryde at the beginning of next year.

If I were you, I would choose Dr. Lee. Because I've had an operation with Dr. Lee. He knows how to do good for the patient. Currently, there are many people in Korea who are waiting for Dr. Lee to have surgery.

Which segment are you planning to do?
If Stryde tibia, Donghoon is way better choice, he will probably have it in October this year.
It’s true so many are waiting, it’s better to make reservation for consultation and surgery ASAP if you wanna do surgery soon.
