By 2020 I will have enough funds for giotikas God willing, I am about 80% there right now. Want to do stryde and tsf with giotikas. However his stryde price is fishy, it’s cheap as India, the nails are very pricey themselves. 43,775-> usd= 49,179, I don’t see How he can cover cost of nails and hospital and anesthesia fees
My second concern is, he seems to have a good reputation in this forum but I couldn’t really find any information or proof with substance. He doesn’t have nearly as much experience as a lot of other doctors, however seemingly is looked up to as a really good doctor. He doesn’t have any CLL photos he could provide in the interview. I wanted to do either tsf and stryde or tsf and p2 with him by next summer.
Can anyone who has followed this forum for a while or who has info about him provide it good or bad
Giotikas a fraud or a good option? Good overall reputation but fishy details
Quote from: KiloKAHN on June 05, 2019, 07:48:13 PMNew docs all have hype around them because people get excited for alternative options. In the case of Giotikas it's largely people thinking he's in Europe and his prices are cheaper so therefore he's the best new option. We don't have a track record to base how good he is though, so there's a bit of a gamble. I was Dr Parihar's first international cosmetic patient and definitely took a gamble in that sense, but it turned out great for me. So Giotikas might be worth the risk to people who don't have prior cases to base their decision on.
In your personal opinion would you go with dr.mahboubian of giotikas?
Only thing I feel is mahboubian really advertises cll and from personal obversation this is a slight red flag

How does he charge around 43k euro for stryde? The nails by themselves are really expensive, plus hospital fees and PT etc

Let math do the work for you to answer some of your questions.
Dr. Giotikas pays 27,825 Euros for two STRYDE nails. That's $31,400 U.S. Dollars.
Dr. Giotikas charges 45,745 Euros (New Price Beginning In Sept). That's $51,600 U.S. Dollars.
$51,600 - $31,400 = $20,200 to pay for surgeon fees, anesthesia, hospital, physical therapy, etc..
As far as experience is concerned. Over 100 lengthening cases per year for the last five years is definitely not a novice, but it's nowhere near the level of Dr. Paley, Dr. Rozbruch, or Dr. Donghoon Lee. So yes, he's inexperienced compared to those three doctors, but he's not lacking experience when it comes to limb lengthening. There's a difference.
Do you know of any CLL patient that has done stryde with him or is doing stryde?
Also why does he not have any previous CLL photos, how did you know he has 100 lengthening cases can you provide a link please?
Thanks leggs

Tbh he only seems good because he barely has any reputation. There is only one diary from jolien and although it’s good I’m still not convinced based on one diary, small chance it could be fake even if I doubt it is but I want to do stryde and I don’t want to be the very first stryde patient
