I'll have a web consult with Dr Giotikas. Please, send me questions. I'll not make dumb questions.

[lalo510]

Here are my questions:

1. How many procedures with Precice 2 and Stryde has he performed in Athens?

2. What were complications that happened (minor ones up to nail breakage). How did he handle it? (I would tell him the case with Dr Betz in the newspaper)

3. How does he evaluate how many cm the patient is allowed to lengthen?

[wannagrowtaller]

Ok. I'll ask these questions.

If somebody wants, you can PM me to send questions.

[wannagrowtaller]

If someone is interested, it is €160 for 45min of web consultation. All doubts will answered.

He is a very nice person. I want to do my surgery with him. He answered all my questions even if more time than we had scheduled. He looks to know what he says. He said he would not do the surgery in me now because I'm overweight and I smoke.

Here are my questions:

1. How many procedures with Precice 2 and Stryde has he performed in Athens?

He said it is 100 cases per year, I don't know how many years. 14 (or 40, I didn't understand) cases of cosmetic.

2. What were complications that happened (minor ones up to nail breakage). How did he handle it? (I would tell him the case with Dr Betz in the newspaper)

He said he only had minor complications and the treat was easy.

3. How does he evaluate how many cm the patient is allowed to lengthen?

I didnt ask this question, but he said he evaluate person per person individually.

did he say that it's 14 (sounds more realistic than 40) cases of internail nails or just 14 cases of cosmetic surgeries (which include precice AND external)?

[wannagrowtaller]

so, what are you going to do now?

I'll do my surgery next semester or next year. I'll talk with other doctors first. Now I need to stop smoking, lose some weight and train my flexibility.

did he say that it's 14 (sounds more realistic than 40) cases of internail nails or just 14 cases of cosmetic surgeries (which include precice AND external)?

I saw now he said he had 100 cases per year since 2012. It 14/40 cases of cosmetic, including internal and external.
