It really depends on what kind of information you are looking for. Looking for negative information just for the sake doesn't make sense, imo. As mentioned above, one patient died under his care - not sure if it is his fault though. Could have been avoided if he had prescribed Xarelto for entire lengthening period. Having said that, myself and dozens of his other patients took Xarelto only for two weeks post-surgery and everyone was fine.
I did my Tibias with him and ended up having a misalignment during nail insertion - I had to get an additional surgery to get it fixed. I still have slight misalignment on my left leg - he says it's bad luck but it's also surgical skill and technique. My experience with him wasn't entirely positive in that sense, but overall I'd say he's probably better than most of Indian/Turkish doctors. Personally, I like Betz and prefer him to Giotikas. I think Betz is lot more experienced and foresees potential issues before they happen.
I'd also add I hated that stupid hospital in Greece - worst pain management/ patient care I've experienced.
Thinking positive does not change a outcome bro. It is better to see pros and cons and facts as they are. Don't become blind to something just because a doctor is good price.
This is for everyone please read and reflect.
I have to agree with masteryourlife on this.
Do not let your pursuit of cheap surgery blind you to a surgeons results
That gnail patient who died I believe would not have died if he went paley. Why i say this? Look at the number of surgeries paley does and has 0 death. He has had embolism but was able to sort it and prevent death. THAT is the competence he has that giotika does not. Paley has way better quality control.
Paleys track record and huge number of surgeries prove it.
Sure you could get lucky and come out fine with cheaper surgeons like giotika etc. But it's at a risk. A higher risk than what people think.
Let me use some analogy. You can make a house out of wooden frame and it'll suffice for most people. Most people will be happy. But what about some areas where termites eat the wood. Then house will get weaker.
So although many would praise that wood is fine but are biased and do not see that wood has its drawbacks. Metal frames are way better. No termite issue. Strength to last years and years. Some will call it overkill and expensive. But fact is metal frame will have way higher success rate than wood.
Another analogy is toyota/Lexus car company. They spend so much on quality control of their engines. Their engines last so long. Each part of engine is checked and verified. So very high quality protocol. So that's why say Toyota camry has such low problems in the car. Some other companies don't have such high quality standard. Ud seee the happy customers from other companies say car is fine. But there are vast others who say their cars are crap. With Toyota very very high percentage won't have problems with their toyota camry.
Best analogy is pilots. Cheap airline pilots are not trained to handle all situations. They just know how to take off and land and several other things. The happy scenario. So most people fly with them and come out alive and they praise them. But what about in bad weather conditions? Can their pilots fly with one engine off? Can they land properly with no front wheels? Nope. This is where highly trained pilots like for examples ones from Qantas and emirates shine. Their pilots can handle various severe conditions like engines not working, tyres not popping out, etc and still able to land the plane safely. Google it, these incidents have happened and their pilots landed the plane safely. Their pilots are expensive.
So the take away from this is, you are playing with chance with every decision you make. Doing this surgeey has risk yes. Going with less track record docs like giotika will increase your risks. Do u want to take that extra risk to save money? If yes then go ahead. And I genuinely hope you come out alive.
Me personally I'd rather save more money and go with top USA docs and get the proper quality protocol and after care. And knowing he has the best competence to prevent death if embolism is to occur. Atleast I'd be alive to pay off the bigger loan.
When s**t doesn't hit the fan, every doctor will look same and most will decide on just price.
When s**t hits the fan, that's when high competence will show its benefits. Eg paley, metal house frames, Toyota, highly trained pilots.
Giotikas patient who died showed giotikas incompetence when s**t hit the fan.
Now the choice is yours. Choose wisely and then bear its consequence. Either Good or bad.
