Covid spikes in India are a bit scary

Probably Giotikas. But I'm worried prices will come up if I wait too long. And I'm worried that USD will weaken compared to the Euro the next year or two. I don't want to do LL surgery until Fall of 2022, but I wonder how early I should do an online consultation to book a time

Hoping to get my third covid shot (booster) before flying to Athens, Greece, hopefully the USA allows this eventually for young healthy people

And I wonder how early to do an in person consultation.

1. Is there any benefit to doing an online consultation with Parihar or Giotikas?

2. You still have to do an in person consultation anyway after too, no? Seems like online consultation is a waste of money if you for sure want to do LL?

3. What would you recommend I do based on the timeline above? I have the money, about 155k$ total now and will only be able to add a few more thousand dollars to that at most by then. I'm trying to do internal femur and tibia stryde with both. I will be busy until Fall 2022 though and won't be able to do LL until then

4. If you were doing the free introductory consultation here with Giotikas, what would you spend the time on assuming you were 99% sure you wanted to go with him?

5. What steps might you take in the timeline before Fall of 2022 if you were me?

Thank you! So you need to do an in person consultation with Giotikas right before any time you go to the Greece in order to get a visa? That is the only way to get the visa?

"Giotikas does 95% of his consultations via skype. No need to meet him in-person. I didn't need a visa, but you can everything arranged virtually and via e-mail."

ty!!! How does he screen people for who aren't medically fit though, I'm curious?

Ex: what if a person thought he was fine, did a skype consultation, did a surgery next and then Giotikas decides the doctor should not do it for some physical reason?

what can you do for the physical/pre-surgery checkup? See a nearby primary care doctor in USA have them send the result to Dr. Giotikas?
