Picking a doctor
« on: July 03, 2020, 06:53:43 AM »

I'm hoping to get STRYDE from a "budget" but still reputable doctor in a few years.
Which of these doctors would be best?

Dr. Mahboubian
Pros:
Reasonable price - $75,000 USD
Well documented on this forum
In the USA

Cons:
Reportedly rude staff
Sketchy marketing, I was on his instagram live Q&A and I noticed @amandasolomonn making sketchy "compliments" about how helpful it was, knowing she works for Dr. M

Dr. Debiparshad
Pros:
Fellowship with Dr. Paley
Diaries on this forum look good
Nice campus, hospital

Cons:
Most expensive - $81,000
Only does CLL
Dr. Paley threw shade at him

Dr. Giotikas
Pros:
Cheapest - $51,500 USD
Seemingly good reputation

Cons:
Outside the USA
Heard that he goes between Greece and the UK, which means he might not give either location as much attention? Is the rest of his team good?
Don't know that much about him, what's his complication rate?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I would go with Mahboubian or Giotikas. Giotikas is still new at cosmetic lengthening, but Mahboubians been at it for a decade now.

Better stay within the US. The reason is the US legal system. Extreme repeated cases of malpractice like e.g. Guichet and Betz are highly unlikely to happen under US law.
Also there are in principle no regulations with regards to medical products in Europe, I.e. there are on paper but they are not enforced.
Most European countries are a complete   show with regards to patient protection against medical malpractice.
Logged
There are currently several lawsuits from former patients against Dr. Betz going on. If you or somebody you know is a former patient of Dr. Betz who would like to initiate legal action against him please send me a personal message.
I can help with lots of information on how to go about this.

Go to Greece! Giotikas is not practicing CLL anywhere else during the COVID pandemic because nowhere in the world is safer than Greece these days.

Just curious why is Giotikas cheaper? Are there things that are cheaper in Greece?
Also, what's his reputation like? Better than Mahboubian? What about the rest of his team?

Cost of living like rent, food, everything is significantly lower in a Greece city than in a US city.

Also like half of Greece is unemployed and on welfare so money is worth tons 😁

...and yet the Greek health system is so much better than the US! People  don't die like flies in their hospitals.  Unemployment and poverty are not much higher compared to the US and the Greek police don't just kill innocent people on the streets...God Bless USA! ;D

I'm sorry you feel that way, but it's not true
