As much as we hoped that our team Wannabetaller has helped and continues to help all those patients suffering from short stature and height related problems; we are being distracted by continuous defamation and verbal abuse by a couple of aggrieved patients who choose not to follow medical guidelines and rather than letting us and their doctor to find a solution to their problems; would rather engage in verbal defamation and lay fault without proof; whilst their grievances are still in the courts of law, which have not found any faulty practices, whatsoever, till date.
We have been the first and most experienced team in Turkey, providing and arranging limb lengthening surgery related services. We are not the “middlemen”, whose job is done once they redirect the patient to the doctor and get their payment. “Middlemen” are not in power to arrange every major and minor service and fulfill every single request of patient, who is going through tough things (we all know LL is a serious, painful and long procedure). However, throughout different times of our existence, we have always had people in our team who have had the surgery themselves, and know this surgery better than many people in this forum. Wannabetaller is a fully equipped and experienced team who is beside the patient from the very beginning of the procedure till the end. Those who have had this surgery themselves should know better how important it is to make pre-surgery and post-surgery arrangements, and that doctors on their own are not able to always be around and reach out whenever the patient needs help. In limb lengthening, everything does not end with a properly executed surgery. The post-surgery period is equally important. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of our patients (with very few exceptions) have been grateful for our assistance after they left Turkey or finished their procedure. These people have personally seen how important it is to have a caring team of people around.
Any patient knows that, apart from the surgery, the importance of pre and post-surgery care and arrangements; and the fact that doctors are not available all the time and thus we reach out whenever the patients need any help. With such a hard surgery as limb lengthening, all does not, usually, depend on the surgery itself; in fact the most important phases is the aftercare and recovery process. Despite a few of our aggrieved patients, our track records are clean and provide countless testimonial of happy and successful patients, after their departure from Turkey and the end of their recovery process. These patients stand fact to the importance of our care and comfort of our hospitable and welcoming team.
As for the patients operated by Dr. Halil Buldu, who is NOT one of our surgeons at the moment: We had a number of patients who had booked a surgery with Dr Halil, long before he and our team stopped cooperation. Does it mean the patient would not get the surgery with the doctor they want? Of course not. These patients had their surgery with the doctor they had booked.
How it can be possible to arrange the surgery with one doctor, then deceive the patient and invite another doctor to the surgery?
Is there a way or a purpose of actually doing this in medical practice without getting significant consequences?
This accusation is plainly baseless and defamatory, softly speaking. Also, does it mean whoever is advertising their services from Turkey is always Wannabetaller? That is simply a false accusation.
“Ollie” is and will continue to be our patient, till the very end of his procedure, no matter if his Doctor is Dr. Halil or not. He was one of the many patients who had totally refused to have his images taken and did not give permission for his information to being shared, the decision which we respect very deeply. We were actually surprised in a positive way, when we saw him sharing his experience here on the forum. Only when he made his diary public, we asked a permission to share this diary on our website as well. It is so disrespectful to blame an author of a genuine diary, while being in alliance with fake diary owners. Simply multiplying false accusation and complains with numerous fake accounts to wrongly defame WannaBeTaller, is a sad thing we hardly expect any of our patients to do but there are always exceptions, as we are ourself shocked to learn.
How can you think you have the rights to blame a person’s diary to be fake, and verbally assaulting him, while not having a single shred of evidence?
Also attacking the other diary (the one with nickname Jeraldo), which is true that we have created, with real images and real and correct information, only with the exception of our patients name to protect their privacy, what is wrong with that? The patient is facing pain and struggling, so we have written a diary on behalf of him with his permission. If there wasn’t such thing as patient privacy, we would very easily publicly prove to anyone who is interested in what is true and what is not, and whether the diaries are genuine or fake.
Moreover, who decides that all other diaries on this forum are 100% genuine? Maybe there is a genuinity detector plugin on the forum and we don’t know?
Finally, regarding the accusation that we stopped replying to our patients once they have trouble: In fact, reality is quite the opposite. We have always called and wrote to our patients, even when they never updated us on their progress for long periods of time. There have been a number of patients who got rid of their complications mainly thanks to the immense care, guidance and effort from our team. If not us, some of these people wouldn’t even know they have complication, or how to handle them, and would have much worse consequences. We made it easy for those patients to express themselves easily to their surgeons, to get minimal prices everywhere: hotel, hospital, x-ray imaging centre, taxi, restaurant etc. We have always intervened when needed: negotiated, offered solutions, helped to communicate, while some people had one thing in their mind: robbing our patients. Those who always stayed in communication with us and listened to us and mainly their doctors, got rid of their complications. But how it is possible to keep communication when the patient is not listening or accepting any of the offered solutions, not taking their own doctor’s opinion seriously, or prefers to threaten instead? It makes the communication impossible. It was never us who stopped communicating.
We would go on and on, but those who really want to know what and how we operate, can at least try to get into contact with us and we will do our best to set their mind at ease and prove them our honest work, spanning for years.
