Quote from: Annalisa on March 05, 2017, 11:44:33 AMCan you advise a good tibias doctor who has lower price than Guichet? I heard about Catagni, which is in my country, but in some posts I've read he send people at home during lengthening, it doesn't make him look trustworthy. One one the reason I like Guichet so much, it's the fact it follows his patients very carefully and closely, which is essential with such a risky operation.
I had surgery with Pili and Catagni.
Ideally, they prefer patients to stay in the area during lengthening but do not insist on it as there are not usually any major problems that occur with HEF. Obviously, they would check over everything before allowing you to leave, but you would probably need to return for any corrections after lengthening, and then again for frame removal.
Given the results I had with them, I'm biased in their favor, but during just my monthly office visits alone, I saw doctors from India, Brazil, China, and an entire delegation from Japan coming to study under Pili/Catagni.
Anyways, I would say that it's at least worth having a consultation with them, especially since you're already in Italy.
