Im considering Dr Giotikas for LL in the future, but I am on the fence about getting a double LL procedure or just getting the single. I have never seen someone on this forum talk about going through double LL with Dr Giotikas so I really don't know how to feel. So in that line of thinking I would like to hear from you guys about what you all think about this.

Don’t do it with Dr Giotikas. He’s not that good of a doctor, and doesn’t understand simple orthopedic principles. Athens is also a really bad city to live on, on par with war zones or third world cities. Dr Giotikas is just a trauma doctor posing as an orthopedic specialist. Stay away if you value your legs.

Which doctor would you recommend as and alternative? And also what is your evidence that Dr Giotikas is not qualified enough?

I recommend Dr Birkholtz in South Africa or Dr Assayag in America. Dr Assayag is the doctor who correctly diagnosed me and laid out a plan for my treatment. He is a true gem in the field of LL.

I have experience with Dr Giotikas as I was his patient. He doesn’t understand simple orthopedic principles which even a junior doctor would understand. Look up how in this forum how he messed up someone’s ankle, look up how he didn’t fix a patients issue. I also have chronic pain from how Giotikas inserted a nail into my knee. Every time I bend my knee it fking hurts. Giotikas also claimed to have fixed deformities but it is clear on x ray and in person it wasn’t fixed. You are risking your legs by going to him and you are risking your safety by living in Athens.

Don’t make the same mistake I made by going to Turkey or Greece. Just stay away from those  shizhole countries with low medical standards.

Good to know, would Dr Becker also be a viable option in your opinion?

I don’t know much about Dr Becker, so I can’t have an opinion on him. I think if you do it in a country with rigid medical standards then you should be okay. Dr Birkholtz is in South Africa which is not that good of a country, but he is a very skilled doctor who is very learned on orthopedic principles unlike Giotikas and Yuksel Yurttas butcher.

There is not a single Birkholtz diary on this forum plus he is a plastic surgeon who recently started doing cosmetic LL. He only does cosmetic and doesn't have many other ortho cases. No one knows him in SA.

You can see the LL d@iscord which has multiple patients doing it with Birkholtz. They are all satisfied. Meanwhile on the same d@iscord there are patients doing/did it with Giotikas who curse him.

Also you are incorrect. Birkholtz is an orthopedic surgeon. You’re mistaking Becker, who is a plastic surgeon, with Birkholtz. Please think critically.

Do you know any other d servers or communities that discuss limb lengthening, not just Birkholtz or Giotikas?
