Hey there, I am currently planning my surgery for femurs 7-8cm for End of Q1/25. I am currently still thinking which Doctor would be the best for me, I visited Dr. Becker, Dr. Giotikas as well as Dr. Birkholz (via Zoom) I had all doctors a good expression and I think all of those 3 will bring me similar results - also all 3 of them are in Budget.
Currently Dr. Becker is still my Nr. 1 choice - since the clinic is just 2 hours away from me, as well as the full wheigt nail which will help me I think with the recovery as well as preventing fat embolism - due that I am able to walk a little after the 1-2 days after surgery. I heard only good things about Dr. Becker - I also like that he had strict protocols much more than Dr. Betz with even an App where you can see all the stretching exercises and see your status. I was a little bit concerned because he came as an hair specialist but since 3-4 years he is just doing limb lengthening for 100% and doing 100 surgeries now per year. So I think he has enough experience since he is just doing tibia or femurs operation, if I am comparing that to an doctor at a hospital who is doing different stuff and doing much more difficult operations:)
What do you think guys think?
Are there any current or former Dr. Becker patients I can talk to? :)

You're not asking for feedback, you're asking to talk to people that agree with the decision you already made. Betz is for people that seek convenience above all else.

I actually ask for both - I haven't made my decision yet for 100% yet - thats why I wanted to ask if I can speak to current patients or ex patients :) especially who did the surgery with Dr. Becker since he is doing them now alone

has Dr becker had any fatal cases? I heard about one fatal case in greece
Dr Becker has done about 200-300 cases but no fatal cases would be impressive

I haven heard about any cases under him - he said in the consultation he had never embolism so far - not sure if's 100% true but that what he said to me - the other question would be of course if that case happens if he can deal with it since it might be also his first experience but think he has a very strict protocol for that case
