Nail Removal with Giotakis

Edit Post

Anyone get their nails removed with Giotakis?

How was the experience and how much did it cost?

I was quoted end of March 2020 for 6800 EUR, then sent another email today.. we are still in 2020 and got quoted 7800 EUR.

Not sure how prices work in Greece.. but most other doctors will change prices yearly I believe.. so 2019 to 2020 the prices will change but this is the first time I heard of prices changing in the same year (or maybe I haven't met enough doctors? dunno).

I'm planning on doing it with him as soon as I can, but you're right when I talked to him about it last year 2019 around May, Stryde nail removal was 5,800E! lol now they're 7.8K but it's still the best bang for your buck assuming he does just as good of a job as the US doctors.

Ah.. I might as well go back to Lee then. I think Lee's removal is cheaper.

Does Lee do removals for patients who didn't lengthen with him?

7800 is a huge price for nail removal, especially on Greece.
Nail removal is not very hard and any orthopedic surgeon can perform it.
I wouldn't pay anything more than 3-3500 euros for somethimg like that.
7800 is a joke.

I do agree with Body Builder on this. The price of stryde in Greece is 47XXX EUR and he wants 7800 EUR to remove nails.

Hmm.. I don't know if Lee does it for patients who didnt lengthen with him.. I think he does.

When I was there I did ask Sales because a friend of mine who did it at Paley wanted to remove it at Lee's and sales did quote me for my friend.

So I think it is possible?

That is a high cost for Europe

Can anyone post x-rays after nail removal and the limb lengthening procedure

Cheapest nail removal in the US from one of the known CLL doctors would be Debiparshad ... at 14K

On USA LL cost is 100k.
Not 47k like Greece.

Also on Greece the average salary is less than 1000 euros while in USA it is 3X at least.
So prices on Greece has nothing to do with USA. And 7800 for nail removal on Greece is a joke.
Most surgeons there can do it for maximum 3k including hospital costs of course.
I hope Giotikas don't become a moneyhungry enterpreneur like many other doctors in the past and keep doing LL at normal prices and good results. 7800 are unacceptable.
