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.

Quote from: shortisnotfun on May 12, 2024, 06:04:09 AMDon’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?

Quote from: shortisnotfun on May 13, 2024, 06:28:27 AMI 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?
