Installing height- Programdude's Precice 2 Internal femurs with Dr. Paley

Correct. Dr R takes insurance

Just a quick question to ask whether your second guessing going to Paley over say Dr.R or one of the other better known LL docs? Looking foward to hearing from you.

Can you elaborate on what you mean? Do you mean for rod removal?

My consult with Dr. R was today. Basically hospital fees which was the main concern will be covered. His fee is then 10k for surgery(half of Paley's) HOWEVER all I need to deposit is 5k. If my insurance denies the claim then he accepts the 5k at the most. If they cover more then I get a refund.

He confirmed the lower left leg pain almost assuredly is coming from the device, and I was able to see how this is not present on the right side which makes total sense. The clicking in my hip wasnt as evident but he said it wasnt uncommon. So basically it is likely my issues are all about to be resolved.

Also I heard someone in their LL consultation the room over. Reveal yourself!

Hi Programdude, Just for clarification purposes, I meant would you rather have had DR R have done the Precice surgery than Dr Paley? U seem to have good report with Dr R. I'm sure he's as highly regarded as Paley.

Last but not least, in a previous post I think you mentioned your search to find cosmetic doctors to remove the small incision scars. Can you recommend any doctors for removing the scars.thanks again.

I haven't followed up with scar removal since I will get scars refreshed with the removal.

Dr. R seems like a better dr. to have on your case, but Dr. Paley is still overall the better choice I believe.

Could you tell me how much price for D R and how long will stay here

Edit Post

For removal? For the initial surgery itself I have no idea.

Edit Post

Dr. R's total costs are between 120-150K I believe.

lol...

Officially one year post op. Its been a ride!

48 hours and the rods should be out of my legs and this journey should be pretty much complete.

Good luck programdude! I am sure you will do fine with dr. R. You are in safe hands.
