IN THE WORDS OF OUR PATIENTS
My experience with the staff and surgeons at Paley Institute has been excellent. From my initial inquiry about lengthening to the actual procedure and physical therapy I was always made to feel that my well being was a top priority. I am extremely happy with the results and the recovery time was as promised. I wish to give a special thanks to Dr.Paley and Dr Robbins for changing my life and to the support staff and physical therapists that contributed to the success of my surgery. I can’t thank you all enough!
I would like to express my gratitude towards the Paley Institute and the entire team of doctors, physical therapists, and client coordinators who took great care of me during this complicated surgery. In particular, I would like to thank Dr. Paley, Dr. Robbins, the best physical therapists, Jason and Michael, and client coordinators-Angelique and Sylwia. These people put their heart and soul into my speedy recovery. With their help, I was able to lengthen a full 8 cm which is the maximum that STRYDE nail allows one to lengthen. This surgery changed my life for the better. Before proceeding with the surgery at the Paley’s Institute, I went to two more doctors in the US for consultation. There is no doubt that Dr. Paley’s team is the best. I absolutely recommend Dr. Paley to future patients.
St. Mary’s hospital is the best hospital I’ve been to. The nurses were extremely nice and always ready to help. In the Paley Institute, the professional care and treatment I’ve got were truly worth the money and definitely is the safest place to get the lengthening surgery done. The whole process couldn’t have gone any better
I’ve been a Dr. Paley patient for almost a year now. Great service from the beginning to the end! The entire team has been very helpful through my entire lengthening process. The best thing about the procedure is that you get to see the Doctor every 2 weeks. Better safe than sorry! Best method to prevent any complications. I can’t believe how smooth the whole process was! I highly recommend the Institute!
