Dr Lee Korea vs Giotikas? Comparison
« on: August 13, 2019, 09:38:53 PM »

Hi Guys , so what do yall think is better doing as soon as possible with Giotikas because he’s very affordable or waiting through and saving more money to go with Dr Lee?

Do yall think the PT area & hygenic pool in Dr Lee’ s Hospital is way better than PT in athens?

Also a big problem i found regarding dr lee is his hospital is in the Middle of nowhere so no airbnb !! And transportation is soo expensive in korea,  and his hospital stays are crazy expensive so definitely Accomodation is an issue, like every Pt session you have to ride a 30min/1 hr ride to go to hospital.

Regarding athens i dont know whats up with this country like is it a third world country and whats the medical care rank there?

If you are doing femurs there are lots doctors to choose from
But if doing tibia, trustworthy is Dr Donghoon Lee only.

I think one major determining factor is price difference.  If you do Strdye, Dr. Lee is not significantly cheaper even compared to Dr. Paley.  Dr. M in LA and Dr. D in Vegas may be even cheaper than Dr. Lee for the Stryde.  If you do LON for tibias, Dr. Lee's price for the surgery seems to be reasonably cheap, which is about 30K in US dollars.  But you need to consider accomodation issue as you pointed out.   So I am not so sure whether Dr. Lee is a good choice for you.

Yeah the acccomodation is bad with dr lee.
But its even worse with the Dr in las vegas,because ill have to only stay in a hotel and the rates are crazy so ill end up paying 8,000$ ++ or something for hotel and transportation! Las vegas is a touristic place.

We still dont know how much he will charge for stryde!

Dr paley is like 100k! And thats without Accomodation so thats crazy expensive.
Dr M i dont like him as a Dr, and his staff seems rude.

Dr rozbruch in new york someone said he charges over 100k because i aint a us citizen....so he doesnt fit for sure, eventhough he looks like a really good doctor

I found the price in the Korean forum about Dr. donghoon is queit different from what I knew from his assistant. The price for foreign LLers would be expensive than native, almost 14K extra. It is so frustrated. :-\

Sorry Kenda, I don't get it how you compare the two countries...
Greece at the moment has only 7 confirmed cases of coronavirus compared to thousands in other countries including S.Korea. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/coronavirus-map-track-number-cases-death-toll-uk-world/. This, IMO, does say something about their systems and standards, doesn't it?
Dr Giotikas hospital has a surgical infection rate of 0.5 % (see their video trailer from min 1.40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLd-2Zd5gq0&t=2s). I work in finance and I know for sure that it is a serious legal offense in EU to advertise false facts.  I have lived in both Europe and the USA and I know that 0.5% is one of the best in both places.

In korea they have tested more than 100,000 patients and only like 4000 positive as of the last week
Most of positive cases are not in severe condition

Korea is very transparent about their data, not like other counties like Japan or China
Most countries in EU or American continents, they just don’t test patients as many as korea to hide the real numbers

Anyways I can tell coronavirus isn’t so bad as people think if you are young and healthy
Lot more people dying for flu or for other bacterias
Panic mind is more dangerous than the virus itself
In Japan since January less people getting sick as I confirmed with medical friends
No real out break outside the cruise ship
Cruise was bad because they didn’t mark the entire ship as red zone and kitchen staffs were working without masks and without gloves
So it became like an incubation unit ;D without proper control
