In other words they didnt know what to do about it and couldnt be bothered to put up with my concerns.
Same thing. I was supposed to be that (actually about 6'1-6'2), but my growth was somehow stunted.
There are many overseas doctors in the limb lengthening doctors section of the website. I suggest you check it out.

My doctor told me when I was about 10 that I would be 5'11", which is my dad's height. I was almost always the shortest kid in class. I knew I probably wouldn't be close to 5'11". I wish we had the money for hgh. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to break both if my legs.

sometimes u can do a bad job but fall short of losing a malpractice suit

If his peers start passing him in height, one day he will ask if he is going to be tall. I would say no, it is too late. Especially for men this is important.
agree, u are a good mahdur

You are very frank to admit this.
I must stress: this is a dangerous surgery and obviously the safety of your child is paramount and takes precedence over mere money. Dr. Paley is generally regarded as an exellent surgeon with acess to modern and comfortable facilities, he is however perhaps the most expensive limb lengthening doctor of them all.
Dr, Guichet (who actually moved his clinic to Italy) also enjoys an excellent reputation particularly for his focus on athletic recovery which seems to yield excellent results. This includes a strict regime of physical therapy which can be very taxing, he is also very costly but not quite on Dr. Paleys level.
These are the doctors I know of but I'm sure there are alternatives. Though wherever you go expect the surgery to be costly, painful, time consuming, and more or less dangerous.
Wish you and your children luck. Remeber to research and to never compromise with safety.
Thank you so much for the info. Safety comes first. If I am going to do this, then rather pay more not to compromise with health and safety. I will do a lot research again, before we do it. All of you guys are great support. thank you.
I am not a doctor nor have I had CLL yet but I would strongly suggest you refrain from having this surgery before he is 21. Especially before age 18.
Perhaps I am reading it wrong .
You are correct. I am going to wait. He might still grow some. Also I need to save money before I can do it. We will see. Who knows by then maybe new techniques may be discovered.
