Dr. Mahboubian in California or Dr. Chung in South Korea

Edit Post

I live in Southern California and I am either going to go with Dr. Mahboubian and the internal nail,  or the LON with Dr Chung. I am doing femurs.

I realize that I am on the tall side to have this surgery, I am 5'11'' barefoot starting out, however I am the shortest guy in my family by 2'' at least. I am looking to gain 3'' and make it to 6'2''.

The main reason I am considering both options is the cost difference. If I stay here in LA, it's 85k for the surgery plus at least another 15k for rent and rehab. If I go to South Korea, it's 40k all in including the accommodations for 120 days. I have ruled out Turkey because I have read too many stories of botched surgeries there. I can pay for either one, but at the end of the day, 60k in savings is a big deal.

I am new to this whole thing, Ive only been researching a few months. I would like to get some direction or advice from some of the members who have had the surgery or have a lot of knowledge about it. Thank you all in advance for your advice!

Thank you for the information, this may be a silly question but if LON for femurs isn't good why are there many other doctors doing it still?
