Why is Giotikas so cheap?
« on: December 19, 2020, 12:10:22 AM »

2 inches Femur with Giotikas sounds good.

I'm 5'8, I just wanna be 5'10 in the morning.

Why is he so cheap though? Did he botch more than most?

He is not cheap.
Other doctors, especially some who want about 60k euros for obsolete mechanic nails or some Indians who want 45k for precise 2 are ridiculously expensive.

Probably very low hospital fees.
Stryde nails (2x) cost more than 30k euro, and clearly that's not up to the surgeon. All the rest is made by staff payment and hospital fees.

It's $34,000 USD for a set of Precice nails due to the import tax and paperwork required to get them shipped into India. That's only an $11,000 charge for the surgical cost, which is split with the anesthesiologist, etc. $45,000 USD is quite fair when you consider how little of that money is actually going to the surgeon.

Thanks for the replies.

Someone suggested in another thread he only does Tibia

Is this true?

I would think they were referring to externals.

Greece is a low-cost country.  As far as I know he has a good record.

So which good doctors do you think are affordable?

Hey Ronman, sounds like a good plan. I hope you go with Giotikas and create a diary post about him on this forum, I've heard some good things.

I'm planning on going with him, I've saved up more than 150k $+ and am hoping to do internals with him in about a year

Tell us how Greece goes! I've always wanted to go

My friend, you will surely do it before me! I have just started even thinking about LL , and have a lot of research to do before I would undertake it.

Congrats on having the money saved up though, and best of luck with it!
