Hey Achieverr,

Great questions!

So Giotikas and his administration have decided to redesign the package a bit.

Yes PT is included and always has been.

The main change starting February is they want new patients to pay about  €1,625 a month for hotel accommodations which will include food AND clicking services.

Until now living accommodations, food, clicks were the patients responsibility to arrange.

This change is for 2 reasons.

1. You see when we came we didn’t know we would need so much clicking help. We had to pay the nurses extra out of pocket to help. Now, many patients here come from wealthy backgrounds so they didn’t mind paying especially for getting quality service and comfort. If you had money would you not pay extra to getter more massages and clicking techniques that alleviate the pain? Of course you would. However there are some patients that are on a budget and they saw this as unexpected hidden fees. So they complained. [Please Remember you guys have way more information than we did when we came in late October. Today everyone knows that by Giotikas most patients need help with clicks.] Therefore they decided to revamp the package to make it all inclusive.

2. It makes “BJR” look more professional, like we are in some program and we are together. Plus the main aspect of patients being together can add tremendously to the support and encouragement of each other.

To reiterate, the biggest expense we had was paying for clicking services. Now that they will start including it, you will save money or at the least if not save money at least you won’t have “hidden fees”.

Thanks for the update Nyc brother!

An all inclusive package for accommodation, food, and clicking services for €1,625 seems like a good deal. Do you know which hotel this would be that patients stay at?

I can't see any updates yet about this on the BJR website.

It won’t be on the website.

When you email them they will tell you all this.

But yes I do know which hotel they are referring too.

“Montaza” Hotel.

Thanks NYC,
yes this make much more sense now ,
Now I am considering him , count down started  G-nail Dr. Giotikas 10/27/2021 so the plan is to do the surgery within the first week of may and stay for a month after that .
do I need to start consultation now with Giotikas to agree how on moving forward , he has this 15 min online consultation should I sign up for that or just drop them an email , what do you think ?

Send them an email.

They are very responsive.

“May” should definitely be enough time for them to schedule your surgery if you contact them now.

Do the 15 minute consultation, you have nothing to lose.

@ NYC thanks for posting as always!

@ Achieverr. The online consultation is worth doing. Enable you to build a rapport with the surgeon and express your ideas/goals. Then you will be sent documents for you to review and return. Or if you’re based in London you can arrange an appointment with Dr Giotikas at 10 Harley Street for a paid assessment etc.

FYI Regarding the clicking as I understand (NYC do correct me if I’m wrong) depending on your LL goal even after a month you will most likely still require assistance with the clicking mechanism.

All the best

Yes everyone has clicking assistance even in month 2 and 3.

There is one patient here  trying to click by himself.

He has days when he can get some clicks with lots of difficulty and some days he can’t. It’s a tough spot because not everyone has an extra few grand $$$ to pay a month for assistance.

Thanks for updates nyc as always. How much did your friend who had surgery the same day but left early lengthen?

Good to know also about the package. By food and click service included this means you pay Dr Giotikas office the 1,600/mo and they will book the hotel for you and feed you 3x/day? That is a good deal, it works out to less than 60 Eur per night only

Yes about the package. But food I think it’s just 2x a day.

My friends did 7CM

oh, nice. 2x a day isn't bad either. maybe this offer will entice more patients to go with Dr G despite the clicking difficulties.
