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!
Dear Dr Paley and team,
I would like to show my gratitude to you and your team for helping me to accomplish my dream of growing taller. It has been one of the most significant and successful thing I have ever done in my life.
As a university year 1 student in hospitality school, I was lucky enough to be an intern in Ritz Carlton. I believe that the reason I got accepted is not only my expertise in this industry but also the height which I have gained over the past 2 year. You and your team gave a chance for others like me to get an extra inch. This allows us to find new opportunities and make us feel more confident.
This month I came back to take my rod out,to celebrate my end of a long and successful journey. This is certainly not an easy journey, but you and your professional have made this journey worthwhile for me. Once again, I want to say a big thank you to you and your team for allowing me to have a chance to grow taller and feel more proud of myself. I hope that your business will keep blooming and extend to more patients who want to grow an extra inch.
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!
Great surgeons, excellent surgery and physical therapy. What you all do it is truly amazing and magic! Thanks, Dr. Paley, Dr. Robbins, Angelique, and Mike! Excited to start my new life as a taller person!
