Hey,
When are you having this consultation?
-
Ask him what he considers the best ways to deal with equinus contracture, and also what are some possible complications resulting from the stretching of veins and arteries during CLL. Additionally, you could ask him if he recommends non-catabolic (i.e. mostly anabolic) exercising to stimulate arteriogenesis and angiogenesis in the lengthened legs.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am also planning on doing my surgery from parihar. Would you please ask him following questions:
1. Is stryde available to parihar, if not when it is available.
2. What is the current cost of sergery with precice 2 and with stryde (if availabe).
3. What is the recovery period of sergery, I mean after how many months I will be able to walk again.
4. Can I pay the amount in two installments.
-
I already paid for it, but now I'm having a problem with communication. info@bonedocs.in Dor Diviya is not answering my e-mails. Can someone try to e-mail them and check if they answer?
-
Just sent an email. I'll let you know if they reply.
Hopefully you haven't been ripped off
-
I don't believe Dr Parihar staff would rip off me. I believe it is a communication problem.
-
I receveid an answer. It'll be tomorrow.

I had my skype consultation with him. Later I post the question and answer.

Great Thanks ;D dear friend it is very helpful 8)

Thanks for posting the answers.
Surgery alone costs $30k now? It used to be $10-$15k.
Are these all the questions you asked? Sounds like Skype consultations aren't really worth it if they cost so much money.
Are you considering him for surgery?

I want to make sure I understand your numbers correctly.
The total price for surgery with PRECICE 2.2 with Dr. Parihar is $66,000, not including additional costs for physical therapy, accommodation, food, etc..
If that is correct, the price for STRYDE would be around $80,000, not including additional costs for physical therapy, accommodation, food, etc... STRYDE should increase the price by at least $10,000-$14,000 since each STRYDE nail is $5,000-$7,000 more expensive than PRECICE 2.2.

I may misunderstood what he told about surgery with precice, but if I'm not wrong that's it.
-

Yeah, I think person-to-person consultation is better.
Are you considering him for surgery?
I'm considering Dr. Giotikas.
-
This is unusually expensive then. Not sure why surgery alone should cost 30k USD in India.

Ah it's $13k :D You misheard them :)
-
I'm embarrassed right now. I really understood 30 thousands dollars.
So 36+13=49k usd surgery with precice.
