Please give advice to find a good doctor
« on: March 12, 2019, 04:09:32 PM »

Hello. I am currently thinking of extending the tibia 5 to 6 cm in an external manner. Is there a relatively cheap and safe doctor there? My thoughts are dr giotikas, dr bagirov, dr parihar. Please tell us your thoughts.

Dr Kulesh and Solomin in Russia.
Dr Giotkas (I'm planning to do internal femur and tibia in one year with him 180->190cm) he seems very good option.

Don't go to India or another third world country.

Heard some issues with Dr Bagirov from prior patients. Dr Giotikas doesn't have completed results posted yet but he seems to be okay so far. Dr Parihar did a great job with me and the hotel I stayed in had staff that was very supportive (food was very inexpensive too).

I do not want to go to India if possible. giotikas is a good doctor, but it will be expensive if you include the accommodation fee. Why are you so solomin or kulesh not bagirov? And what about the Russian barinov?

I am currently doing lengthening with Dr. Bagirov, I wouldn't say he's perfect but if you can mitigate your expectations and be prepared, he is a good, cheap option. I can only attest to full externals however. He does offer nails though.

Whoops, didn't mean Dr Bagirov. I was thinking of Dr Barinov. Some of these Russian names are so similar.

I am considering both bagirov and barinov. At first I was considering mirzoyan in Armenia, but he seems to have a very bad reputation. Perhaps I will go to barinov. I would like other information about barinov etc. to be provided.

If you have questions about Bagirov I can answer them. Also I live in Baku where you can do the surgery, but you ca do it in moscow too.

Solomon and Kulesh : too many nerve damage cases
Barinov : malalighments, X-rays not reliable
Bagirov : severe infection of Asian case
Parihar : seems good so far but not enough cases reported
Giotikas : seems good so far but not enough cases reported

Would you recommend Dr Parihar for internals with stryde (femurs and tibias)?

Don't go to India or some another third world sh1t. For ur health stay in US or Europe. Those countries just stinking even on streets, not good places for the risky surgeries.

USA is too expensive. There are some bad experiences in Europe.

i myself am considering barinov. hes got good diaries on old forums and hes a veteran doctor with many results. there was misalignment of 1 of his patient i have read the diary myself. i wouldnt clearly blame the doc for that tho.

other good options would be parihar india, pilli/catagni europe, dr salameh and some others cant name right now.

My current idea is that of Russian barinov. Only he replied my email. And because Russia is the birthplace of Ilizarov's operation.

Russia is not recommendable at all
Pain control is very poor in Russia and no oxycodone is prescribed
External is supposed to be excruciatingly painful
People get PTSD by uncontrolled pain
If X-rays are not accurate, may end up with discrepancy of leg lengths, which can cause arthritis, long term joint pain
The country of invention doesn’t give any credibility
Russia has a history of horrible cosmetic Limb lengthening

x-rays are done to fix discrepancy and check for errors in the 1st place.
also ur claiming it has a history of horrible cll. there are always bad cases everywhere especially in low budget external lengthening but russia has so many ppl done their cll their ought to be atleast some problematic ones. there are amazing diaries on this and especially old forums for russia and easter eu so im not sure wat u mean. and the success rate of this surgery is high anyways.

about pain, every1 has different thresholds and pain experience is also subjective. some ppl get it done without much issues some suffer more. long-term effects of painkillers are devastating on brain, organs and sexual health anyways so its best to keep it limited. u just mentioned the general risks of cll.
