[Dr. Sarcastic]

It doesnt work that way in this case. There is a very small amount of Ilizarov specialists because of the extra years of specialty training it takes and the amount of qualified specialists would never keep up to the demand. Even now, when CLL is still considered obscure, there are very few doctors who have a good track record doing this for cosmetic reasons. Trying to make CLL a trend would have more unqualified docs trying to offer the service and result in more people having terrible complications. That's exactly what happened in China, and due to the amount of people getting jacked up, the procedure was banned in most facilities except for a select few that had to get special permission from the govt, and look at how high the costs are now compared to before. The Precice technology doesn't solve most of the problems that come with distraction. Internal is more comfortable and leads to less scarring, but it still doesn't address problems with distraction limit, tight joints, chronic bone pains due to the initial break, bone infection, etc.

The guys who are "fked" are the ones who get duped by videos like these acting like the procedure is 99% safe because they are ignorant about what can go wrong and feel safe hearing words like "technology" and "comfortable".

Yes it does work that way. I'm not talking about people who go to third world sh*t holes like India China and Russia to have their legs in cages for months at a time. I'm talking about people who want to have their surgery here in the good old U.S.A. using the latest technology with highly trained doctors. The same doctors who have to worry about losing their business if they don't provide you the service and results you demand or career ending lawsuits if they f*ck you up...

Stay away from this doctor in Las Vegas. He is unethical.

If you want more detailed information, and I have lots, private message me.

Do yourself a favor and ask his former senior partner,  if he is as good as he claims with spinal procedures.
All of you talk as if you know this surgeon closely and don’t listen to those who have witnessed him work personally. If someone comes on a forum like this, it isn’t to harm or hurt you, it is to watch out for you and help.

Dr. Debiparshad is not the doctor you want to have doing these procedures. On both a clinical level or a cost friendly level for patients. Don’t make yourself an advocate for this surgeon. Or, if you think you are, please tell this group exactly how many cases Dr. Debiparshad has done in Las Vegas since he’s been there? Either normal LL or cosmetic? I know the answer....do you? It’s zero. Zero cases in three years there. There are other surgeons that have used Precice there in those three years, he can’t even get patients for the regular LL cases.

This is where you’re wrong. I have close and solid information about this surgeon. Can you shownthat he has not done a LL procedure since arriving in Vegas 3 plus years ago? Oh, you can’t dispute that? Why? Because it’s absolutely true.

As far as posting transcripts of recorded meetings with this person due to legal issues is far from hard to believe. If you choose not to believe it, go get your procedure done. Also, ask about the cost of the second procedure to get your nail removed. Is that not mentioned in that first $68,000 cost? Hidden fees... yup.
The guy is unethical and there is plenty of proof. It will come out very soon.

LLPatientAdvocate-

I'm not a direct advocate for Dr. Debiparshad. However, to any rational observer his paper credentials are outstanding and worth strong consideration for surgery. Medical school and orthopedic residency at two of the best medical schools in Canada (McGill & McMaster). Fellowship trained at the Paley Institute and a spinal fellowship at Harvard. Two published papers co-authored with Dr. Paley.

If you possess specific information that shows Dr. Debiparshad to be an unethical or dangerous surgeon I'd be very interested to see what you have. Thus far your biggest claim to prove he is unethical is that he doesn't list nail removal fees and purposely keeps them hidden. When in fact his website clearly says nail removal fees are not included. I posted that exact information in this thread with a screenshot from his website.

You're banging the "avoid this doctor" drums pretty loudly. if your objective as you stated is to watch out for and help others, you really should produce solid evidence before your signal turns into nothing but noise.

Stadiometer Esq.

If you are truly an “Esq” than you know that the wheels of the legal system slowly turn. And, because evidence used in legal actions can not be disclosed prior to cases being heard.


With that said,  you should also know that statement like this should not and could not be made without repercussion. I have zero fear and will continue to beat the drum, even if you call it noise.

Why have other surgeons in Las Vegas done more LL cases than this surgeon at this point? Why have surgeons that have been in Vegas less time and NO real prior experience with LL and using Precice have done more cases? Why haven’t these cases been referred to this Uber educated and ultra experienced LL surgeon?

If someone close to the situation on the ground is sending warning signals, I certainly would take second and third looks.

This has nothing to do with hidden charges and cost of procedures. This has to do with much more than those peripheral items. Would you want an anesthesiologist that you knew had a shady ethical background putting you under?  Think about it... if there are character questions and where there is smoke...

The statements made are factual. Take the risk and when things shake out down the road, I will be here and the one that says “I told you so!”

[LLPatientAdvocate]

Stadiometer seems to me to be a willing advertiser of this doctor. Why?

Many numbers have been thrown out about this doctors case numbers and a paper that was done some years ago.

Let’s look at this clinically, alone first. After leaving Dror’s Fellowship and arriving in Las Vegas, just how many LL cases, TOTAL, has he done? Then, let’s divide that up and then tell me how many cosmetic cases he has done.

Do you want me to make the math easy for you? The answer to both is ZERO.

After being in Las Vegas for three years, he has performed exactly ZERO LL procedures in the entire city or region.
However, there have been cases done by other surgeons in Las Vegas. These surgeons are skilled in circular fixation methods traditionally, like Debiparshad was also trained.
Why hasn’t a single patient been referred to him for treatment? Why hasn’t he done a single LL implant?

If I am wrong, I will listen to anyone, this is where you try to prove I’m wrong Stadiometer....

Good luck

LLPatientAdvocate, I still wonder why you think we're promoting this doctor. Ironically you're the one that keeps bumping this relatively inactive thread.

Perhaps you're unfamiliar with the concept of "innocent until proven guilty." We've yet to be presented with anything more than opinion and hearsay.

[Johnson1111]

I am looking into him and have sent an email. I will contact by phone soon as well to see when they're receiving STRYDE if not already. I will see what he does for insurance if any and what he has to say for himself when I ask questions.

[Johnson1111]

This guy is a scumbag if there ever was one. How deluded do you have to be to try and pass off like you came up with a term for cosmetic lengthening all by yourself? "Hi I'm Dr Kevin Debipusshad, and I operate in the field of Limbplastx". Lol, get real. Then you have that video of him saying he lengthened some co-worker 6 inches. This scumbag obviously has no qualms with ruining people. 

Edited: removed sentence implying/suggesting threat of violence

This guy is definitely up there with some of the biggest losers i've ever seen on any forum. Between the gay name, picture, saying "come at me" while being a redditor, bragging about being 5'11" as a white Swede, what a joke this guy was lol

[Kenda]

What do you mean, so he operates in las vegas and in japan ? Oh what else!

He only operates in Las Vegas but has patients from all over the world.

[ActionSpeaks]

Hello, there is an older thread from this year saying Dr. D's prices for STRYDE/femurs are approx $85k. Per his website, the price is $75k and has been this since earlier 2019. There has been no sale or discounted prices. Am I missing something? There are optional surgeries for additional costs such as $3k for iliotibial band release, which does seem necessary anyway, so would bring the price up to $78k. I'm not sure if other listed options such as biceps tendon lengthening ($3k) and gastro soleus recession ($4k) are also needed? If there is anyone out there who has done consultation or STRYDE/femurs with Dr. Debiparshad this year, can you let me know if you needed any additional surgeries and what your pricing was? Much appreciated. Already had good consultation with Dr. M in LA, great pricing but his office staff are the worst.

Both Dr. Paley and Rozbruch are certified by American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. I could not find Dr. Dr. Kevin Debiparshad certification on www.abos.org. At the same time, there are only couple of journals from Dr.Debiparshad's patients on this forum. I would like to consider him because of his location but he seems inexperienced next to Dr. Paley and Rozbruch. He is not cheap either.

[ru]

does any past patient of dr D know his height? he repeatedly claims he is 5 foot 9 but its very clear he is only 5 foot 6.



listen to this podcast witt this doctor https://www.spreaker.com/user/kfiam640/seg5seg6-limb-lengthening

at 11 minute 59 they ask "how tall are you?" to Dr D. Dr D replies 5'9 and a half.

how is this possible?

theres nothing wrong with a short doctor doing cosmetic limb lengthening.

but why market the surgery as minimally invasive?

here is one of their marketing posts

Research has shown that shorter guys about 5'6’” to 5’7” are at a disadvantage across a variety of things from dating to advancements in their career. The deck is in many cases is stacked against when guys aren’t stacked to a certain height."

isnt it strange that a doctor who is himself short, lies about his height, markets the surgery as minimally invasive and makes cheap adverts like these? if its all that simple why doesnt he get it done himself?

think like this: imagine a flat chested lady breast implant surgeon who runs ads like "women with less than 34D will find it difficult to date and suffer from lack of self confidence" but she is herself 32B. and when asked in an interview she lies "I am about 34DD".  This is like that.

he might be well trained but he seems to not be genuine.

of course I hope patients can answer this better.

Here is Doctor Debiparshad with his patient on a tv program. Got to say this is the first I have seen of a male patient going on TV willingly with his doctor to talk about the process.

[Body Builder]

A true merchant and the worse kind of doctor to do LL with.
And also he makes much harder to keep LL  completely confidential as most of us really want, after so much advertising on tv and internet pages.

That doctor is a disgrace for LL and the same happens with all that morons who did LL and go on tv thinking that they are some kind of stars while in reality the people really think of them like madmen.

what have you got against Dr Kevn Debiparshad?

he is doing good work in creating demand which will lower prices and also prove safety. then even poor people can get this. think about people in third world countries. should they live unhappily because they cant afford this? funny enough people in thrid world countries are shorter than average. so they need it more but they cant even afford these nails and thus go to random docs in their countries.

The more people who seek something and want it without the supply keeping up will cause prices to go up, not down. There are not enough qualified doctors with the experience under their belt to keep up with a demand in this procedure if it were to get popular, so the doctors who can do it will start charging more.

Also people in a truly 3rd world situation are not concerned with height and have no interest in this. They are concerned with having food and shelter, not being 5 cm taller.

With more demand prices go even higher, you are completely wrong.
And I wrote exacly why I am against that money hungry merchant who advertises everywhere LL to get a few patients more as in usa there are respectable doctors like Paley and Rozbruch who don't advertise LL even on unilad.
Everything else about a usa merchant that will help prices of LL go down by advertising it everywhere and asking 80k+ dollars for it and will let poor people.doing it is joke.
Poor people have more important things to care instead of height and also, you can do LL with 5-5k dollars or less on third world countries.

Clearly that merchant makes only harm to veterans and future llers.

[las vegas baby]

increase demand = more docs offering it (see now there are so many new ones already: marie, giotikas, buldu, assayag, javier, parihar, mehta, kohne, nic gay, etc )

more docs offering = competitive pricing and more volume of surgeries

more volume of surgeries = more interest in new nails and scaling up new nail production

more interest in new nails and scaling up production = cheaper prices

it wont happen in one day, but it will slowly happen.

first step is to get public attention.

To answer the question about Dr. D's height, I was measured around 174.5 on that chart in the picture (I usually measure around 173.5). When I met Dr D, I was barefoot from being measured and he was wearing dress shoes. He seemed a little taller than me, so I would guess he is around 5"8.5 or 5"9. I definitely don't think he is under 5"7.

[las vegas baby]

them shoes might have had lifts in them. No doubt hes a short dude. I have sincerely wondered why he doesnt do this procedure for himself and get taller. He knows this procedure inside out, knows how safe it is and how minimally invasive it is. There ain't nothing like a surgeon leading by example and showing skin in the game. Same way doctors taking covid vaccine gives enormous faith among us common plebs, him doing leg length surgery on himself would give us enormous faith in leg length surgery.

I’d put him at at least 5’8.5”, so claiming 5’9.5” isn’t that strange. I had just measured at 173.5cm barefoot on the stadiometer, and I was about the same height or a tiny bit taller than him when we were both in shoes. He had thinner soles than me (I was in Adidas boosts.)

what about that photo above then? is it the camera angle? maybe the dude who took the photo took it from way high up.

he generally looks short from some of his videos also.

if hes truly 5'8 and above then he would be somewhat vindicated for not having done the procedure for himself.
