Title: P nail Dr. Giotikas in Athens or Fitbone Dr Alex Monegal in Spain for thigh
Post by: georgeTest on March 12, 2025, 09:01:36 AM

Hi All,

As P max nail is recalled, I plan to do LL in thigh around 6 cm with other nail in May 2025. Now there are two options:
1P nail Dr. Giotikas in Athens
2Fitbone  Dr Alex Monegal  in Spain

Will you recommend which doctor is more professional?

P nail is not available in Europe right now. So it is either Fitbone in Spain or Gnail in Athens.

 Please exclude the nail issue. Just talking about the doctor choice.

Nail is very important how can you exclude it.
I do not know much about DRMonegal but Dr Giotikas is quiet good.

The main negative is he works from 2 countries so sometimes he is not in Athens for consultations and it gets postponed to next week (I heard this from patients) and one patient had died doing G-nail but he now gives his patients blood thinning medications for 2 months so I hope it will not happen again.

Thx, seems  Dr Giotikas is a good option.
BTW,for precise-2 nails  with 10.7mm  and 12.5mm,do you know how many weight they could bear respectively?
