Is Dr. Doan in Vietnam legit? Any patients that have been there?

Edit Post

I’ve only seen like 3 diaries on him here, and it’s not even clear if they’re legit.

I have scrolled through his FB page and it seems he’s regularly having patients do 8-9 cm on Tibias. So either he’s a huge patient pleaser or else he’s simply spreading lies (but the latter seems kind of stupid because then he’s damaging his own business - better to lie about a bunch of 6 cm Tibia success stories, rather than lie about 8-9 cm Tibia success stories).

So what’s the deal with this doc? Is he legit? Anyone actually been there or anyone know of anyone that’s been there?

While you were there, did you see many Tibia patients doing 7 or 8 cm?

I’m worried about Dr. Doan’s ethics because on his FB page I see many 8 cm Tibia patients and that just seems crazy to me. It isn’t even just a few 8 cm Tibia patients, but many. That’s the real concerning part. Seems insane to me

However, once the external fixator is removed, the achieved length may decrease by up to 2 cm due to device inaccuracies.... You should also consider the tibia‑to‑femur ratio if you undergo a single lengthening procedure. Finally, you will need intensive rehabilitation afterward to ensure your Achilles tendon adapts properly to the tibia’s new length.

Device inaccuracies? This is the first time I think I’m hearing of that.

So if you lengthen Tibias by what you believe to be 6 cm using the LON method, once you finish, you may only get 4 cm at the end of the day???

In that case it seems LON Tibia isn’t even worth it. That’s a huge joke if you could lose 20% of the length …..
