This is true and I believe the letter is self-explanatory. My apologies for inconvenience caused.
Good luck on your journey.

Thank you for confirming it, Dr. Birkholtz.
That's a shame. Had a Skype consultation with the dr. Birkholtz and was highly impressed. Chose other options due to convenience but he really impressed me with his honesty, professionalism, and the fact he is the exact opposite of a salesman, which many ll doctors are.

Dr. Birkholtz, a respected surgeon, or for that sake any surgeon would not be wanted to be associated with the toxic culture we have going on here.
I salute you Birkholtz, you are well and truly a man worthy of the title surgeon. May you fix limb deformities for those people who cant even function properly. These are the people who need help!

This forum being unmoderated has created a climate for fake diaries, scammers and promoters.
e like Dr. parihar, Dr. srigari, dr.sarin, dr. solomin, dr. bagirov, dr. abu jamar, dr. salameh, dr.monegal (he only seems to fk up tibia, not femur though) + ++ the list is endless, should be all blocked and banned from this forum. every fking diary of these savages should be deleted.
No. Monegal fks up femur too. His worst case is Musicmaker a femur case
Dear Dr. Franz
Sorry to hear you decide not to perform cll. But I really appreciate all you help us and you are so honest always telling us truth.
Could I ask you a question what do you think abou double cut with pure external in tibia(upper and lower in one surgery) according to the picture ?
Thanks

I received this e-mail from Doctor Birkholtz:

Dear Prospective Patient,
After long hours of contemplation and soul-searching, I have decided not to offer Cosmetic Limb Lengthening at my
practice anymore. This may come as a shock to some of you and certainly will derail a lot of plans.
The decision was not taken lightly. The overriding reason for my decision is that it has become clear to me (based on
the complications I see from elsewhere), that the risk-benefit ratio of CLL swings firmly to the ‘risk’ side. In other
words, the potential complications are not worth the risk of permanent functional impairment. For this reason I can not
ethically continue to offer this surgery.
Ironically, once a complication is present, I can get involved morally, as this type of complication correction surgery
makes up the bulk of my work and here I can provide effective solutions for difficult problems. This swings the ethical
risk-benefit equation into the other direction.
My patients’ best interest and safety come first and for this reason the decision was taken and is also a final
decision. I will ask you to please respect this decision and also refrain from endless engagements and discussions
on online platforms, social media etc.
If, after weighing all the risks and benefits and you are still keen on pursuing CLL, PLEASE choose an ethical doctor
and choose someone with a solid track record, not only in CLL, but also in management of complications.
With my best regards,Sorry, I didn't read the thread before posting.
