That doesn't add up at all unless Ellipse suddenly shot up their price. As Kirp1 said, send an e-mail to another doctor and see what he quotes you. Then you'll know for sure if Dr Shah is inflating the price or not. I'd send an e-mail to Dr Birkholtz asking what the cost of the nails would be, as he's used them already. He hasn't updated his package price of $52,000 total for Precice femurs, so...

Maybe send Dr Parihar an e-mail too if you're set on India.

Well I've purchased airfare credit with an airline that services Asia. That was in reliance on a figure of $30k which I have no doubt you got directly from Dr Shah. But if I have to consider South Africa because of one doctors sudden price hike for no special justification then that sucks and now I have the airfares I don't need.

Well if the nails are still $30,000 USD then you can get Precice femurs with Dr Parihar for around $43,000 - $45,000. It's worth checking in with him so your airline credit won't be wasted. I highly doubt there was a $20,000 USD price hike from Ellipse all of a sudden.

My guess is that it was most likely a typo on Dr. Shah's part.

Let's hope so. It would suck if he was purposely inflating the price.

This is a little off topic and kind of mean, but doesn't Dr. Shah have kind of a funny looking face? Look up some of his picture on google images. You might laugh.

Lol wut RR? Is it doing wrong to channel Freddie Mercury?

Seriously, however, the good doctor has allayed my cost concerns with his most recent message which was:

"Dear Dave,
There is good news .Indian company sent me the new costing and with recent mail the cost is coming to US $ 30000 plus taxes appro 5%
company might take deposit for magnetic device to be used during lengthening as you finish lengthening and you return the device they will return it..
pl let me know if you want to transfer money in bank account of the company i can forward the details to you
it will take 5 wk for getting nail"

I look forward to meeting the man early-to-mid March.

regarding dr shah

i gotta say he seems to be a good dr as far as surgical technique

my right achilles and ankle equinus were fixed perfectly... the scar even looks amazing

the left scar was worse but is now lloking better... i can also say that the numbness has almost entiirely went away, just as he said..He definitely did not cut the nerve,just like he reassured me.. my equinus waas so bad that the nerve likely stretched because my equinus was severe and was corrected acutely, not gradually

my equinus was very bad btw... my dorsiflexion was around - 60 degrees..... that is not a typo

Is LAPT considered a better option over LON? Just wondering where the extra $1000 comes into play.

KiloKAHN · « **Reply #43 on:** February 07, 2015, 02:36:27 AM »

The extra $1,000 for LON or LATP covers the cost of the nails/plates that wouldn't normally be used for external only.

I sent an email to his account weeks ago but he didn´t reply yet, how did you get in touch with him?

I also wonder the answer to this. Just how much mobility does LATP allow a patient before complete consolidation?

i can tell you for sure that the prices have went up

also, because of shah taking the frames off... i am getting a tibia/fibula osteoplasty to correct my left leg

dr shah wanted to charge me more for this correction than i paid for the intial issue he fixed

when i say im getting a tibia/fibula osteoplasty to correct my left leg, i just want to be clear.... i can not anywhere near normal because of the left leg... the valgus, etc.... the right leg is fine

if you have to go to india, go to parihar

so u didn't do any frame adjustments in Russia..?
u basically lengthened a while in Russia, and moved out?
and never came back to the clinic for adjustments?

i didnt lengthen in russia... they want you out of that hospital pretty fast

do not go to this dr... anything that goes wrong, he will not fix... you will end up being charged double what you thought your surgery would be

you've been warned

This happens with all doctors. If they fix the problems they've caused, they don't do it right. I don't trust these moneymakers. It's disgusting.

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.
