issues with left leg

he performed achilles surery

took fixators off way early

also,i have a pic... shah did not perform the surgery on my other leg, then he lied about it... u should see scar compared to right leg... ill need revision

also, my left has sural damage, so a small part of my outside foot is numb... sural luckily is only a sensory nerve

you should see his op too

then shah ignores me

this guy is a hack

prolonged my recovery. and is the reason for my additional surgeries

Sorry to hear about that. Hope you get better.

Could you link me to your diary?

Also is Dr. Parihar the only good doctor left in India? Everyone else is controversial now.

I dont understand why people go to India when there are many doctors in other countries with much better reputation and experience. And they are not much more expensive...I just dont get it!

Can you name doctors in other countries that are less expensive than indian doctors?

And this guy was trained by Dr. Paley? Certainly doesn't seem professional. Are there other patients there that are having the same problem?

He is a fellow of Dr Dror Paley (now of W Palm Beach, Florida) and also Profs Cattaneo and Catagani, the latter of whom introduced Ilizarov technique to the West at Lecco, Italy. His website reports "I have been practicing as an orthopaedic surgeon with super specialization in ilizarov surgery since last 16 years. I'm visiting as an ilizarov specialist all over Maharacrapra and have done more than 1400 surgeries in this specialty till now."

I have had 5cm successful bilateral lengthening via his Hospital so far with internal PRECICE femur nails and met and talked with his current 50yo patient from the USA who is having Ilizarov tibiae with no regrets about choice of surgeon and the management of his complications. Non-interned ward staff may not speak much English but no-one is a 'hack' at the place I must observe having been an inpatient and then outpatient there from October to December this year.

Lying about actually having performed a certain surgery at all on one leg seems rather audacious when proper documentation and the timely examination of another specialist could expose the fact. Pardon my scepticism but did you think to resort to that?

dr shah has not performed 5 precice lengthenings

id love to see evidence of this

i dont even think any dr in india has performed 1

the guy is a flat out liar... and his hospital would be able to do business in any 1st world nation...

somone should post photos of his operating room and table

crimsontide · « **Reply #68 on:** March 11, 2016, 04:57:30 AM »

do not go this doctor

i have to laugh at thegosis

if you look at thegosis' diary... you will see how dr shah thinks that 2 cows across the street have special therapeutic qualities that will help you

I'm not making this up.... go have a look

dr shag screwed up my life because of his idea to lengthen my achilles, and take my frames off way too early

No other dr I've spoken with thinks he did a good job, or that he should have taken my frames off or lengthened my achilles

im currently trying to fix his negligence.... the "hospital" should be closed

Dr Shah is to be avoided. Ask American doctors about his and his methods. He sucks.

143grazia · « **Reply #70 on:** October 17, 2016, 01:01:04 AM »

I'm really considering to get the surgery from doctor shah now, because of the fee difference. But he doesn't offer femur LON? Is that it? No femurs for him... It's a total disgrace of that's it.

143grazia · « **Reply #71 on:** October 17, 2016, 01:07:32 AM »

Good morning. I'm planning to get LON for my femur from doctor shah soon. How much is the estimated cost for this? I have no problem with not staying in a hotel and just basic lodging. I got no problem with food either. And just minimally living in Mumbai. For this, how much is the estimated cost for the whole process? Need your response alot. Thanks.

Use a different doctor. (Maybe Dhawan)

Do you have any contact details for this doctor?? Hope he is as cheap as Dr. Shah... Anyway, thanks alot. I need to have the surgery ASAP is what it is

He has a thread on the forum.

Does anyone know much does Dr. Shah charges for LON?

KrP1 · « **Reply #76 on:** September 16, 2019, 11:18:32 AM »

This doctor must be avoided at all cost, I know about patients who had very bad results with him. He must be removed of the forum.

limewalk · « **Reply #77 on:** September 16, 2019, 12:05:36 PM »

Can you provide more details? There is one diary here of an Australian patient who did his femur lengthening with Dr. Suhas Shah which went uneventfully.

"Final result" at 1:52 minute mark in this video

"Natural growth & No side effects"

- Dr. Suhas Shah (2:30 mark in the video)

InFullStryde · « **Reply #79 on:** December 24, 2019, 05:14:53 PM »

Hmm. Her legs are pointing outward. Perhaps more physical therapy and she will be good again.

good-nite · « **Reply #80 on:** December 24, 2019, 06:50:51 PM »

She has a deformity. Physical therapy can't fix this.

It is hard to believe the surgeon takes pride in showing this case as a success with "final result" as the heading of the clip. Definitely avoid this guy.

InFullStryde · « **Reply #81 on:** December 24, 2019, 06:53:26 PM »

I agree. This would be the last video I'd want prospect patients to see. I wonder what caused the X legs?

First, there was a forum member, crimsontide, this doctor did atl surgery on him with very bad results. I know about other female patient, but i can't post info about her in the forum. She did her surgery with this doctor and ended with serious problems.

Okay so I just got off the phone with Dr. Shah (his assistant answered at first and, ironically, speaks not a word of English lol).
Dr. Shah states that the total cost of lengthening with the Precise 2 nail, including all hospital fees and one week's stay in the hospital, is $40,000USD (FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!). He also gives his patients the option of going home (in my case Canada) to lengthen, returning to India only to have the nail locked and to return the transponder. Of course there is the additional surgery to remove the nails 1 to 2 years after the initial surgery (the cost of which I stupidly forgot to ask him). I think this is great news! He claims he has "done this procedure before", but I wasn't able to obtain a figure as to how many times. I'm doing my tibias in January, but if this price remains the same in a year or two (wishful thinking), I'll be going there for my femurs.

the precice nail doesn't need to be "locked" and the ERC can be returned via mail to NuVasive.
