My first new topic so many thanks for any advice.
I will have access to 150k soon.
I am able to travel anywhere and stay as long as needed.
I am in the US but not local to any of the Stryde doctors, so I'll have to spend to settle in a new location for 90 days+
PT for 90 days would also be factored in.
Goal would be 6-7cm lengthening (femurs).
Hopefully I am correct to assume that if money wasn't an issue everyone would prefer Stryde.
So, even though I'll have the funds for all the choices, I'd still prefer not to spend more if all things relatively equal.
I've been reading lots and I also assume most would choose Paley. Im also under the impression most wouldn't choose Rozbruch given the highest cost but comparatively speaking not being above and beyond the other choices.
So, I came to the conclusion that it's sort of between Paley vs. Dr. Donghoon Lee/Dr. Debiparshad/Dr. Kohne/Dr. Giotikas. If all or any of the latter 4 docs are just as competent and results just as good, I suppose why not save the money? The one that jumps out is Dr. Giotikas, where cost is half with physical therapy included.
But, if most of you feel Dr. Paley is the best route if funds were available, then I shall settle on that.
Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you all.

Hey OGfivesevener
I'm looking to do Stryde or Precise 2.2 with Dr. Giotikas, maybe this summer 2019.
His website looks good, http://www.athensbjr.com, but are worry about being scam.
Where are you planning to have it done? Do you want to meet up and do it together for support?
I'm also in the US in the bay area.

I have the time now to move forward but, man, I'm trying to force myself to be patient and not be hasty in my decision. One humongous decision!
Things keep changing but so far Dr. Paley is at the top of the list. I am still curious about Dr. Giotikas. I don't want to base such a big decision on price. But, as I said, if the quality is on par then why not.
I did try to contact the Paley Institute with some questions but no reply in about a week. Maybe that's a good thing.
Probably Rozbruch. (As of April, 2019.)
I'm either going to go with Dr. Mahboubian since I'm Local (30 minute drive from his office) or Dr. Giotikas as well if I feel confident and good about him after my online consultation

Alright man, please update if you don't mind after the consultation and share your thought process on who you decided on and why. I'm send you a PM.
I am likely going with Dr. Paley and the timeline is roughly July-August.
If anyone plans to get this done around the same time hopefully we can hook up for support.
