Anyone looking to get this done with Dr. Parihar?

Edit Post

I'm hoping to get it done towards end of 2020 using Stryde method. I'm hoping that the covid-19 crisis would have subsided by then in India.

They unfortunately don't respond much to cold emails with questions. Maybe they hardly care about getting new CLL cases or that most people who reach out aren't really set on getting it done.

Quote from: Skyisthelimit on July 24, 2020, 02:29:04 AMI went through some threads about Dr. Parihar. From what I gathered, he’s not very interested in acquiring cosmetic cases. He mostly does deformity cases. He’s one of the few doctors who will try to discourage you from getting it down in the first place. What I took away from the answers he provided to some questions asked by our fellow members is that he really knows his stuff.
You could be looking at around $1,500 on accommodation (I took this estimate from kilokhan’s diary). I’ve read that PT is relatively cheap in India. I’m not sure if they will recommend you use their PT, or look one for yourself. The price will add up if you don’t plan everything beforehand.

Yes. I doubt he has done more than 2-3 after Penguinn. He doesn't really discourage you from CLL if you meet him and is actually quite neutral. Even in India his prices are more than other doctors (even with exfix) so that probably unfortunately pushes cosmetic patients to unscrupulous doctors in north India.

You can find decent hotels from $50 a day to $400 a day in Mumbai.

Expect basic PT on a bed and some standing/walking. Nothing fancy like in America or Donghoon's center in South Korea.

second  thing For this surgery you need a dedicated surgeon not an orthopaedic surgeon who does other surgeries like THR and TKR etc .
You will be line up like other patients , and have to wait for your turn , it will not matter to them what problem you are feeling.This dr P will not give you priority but This surgery need priority because most of the orthopaedic surgery does not have experience with this surgery

Parihar doesn't do TKRs. In fact he does something called high tibial osteotomy to delay the need for a TKR in younger patients. There are so presentations of him on Youtube on this. Some even say TKR doctors and LL doctors are at odds with each other the former keen on doing TKRs but the latter trying to defer it.

He specializes completely in limb lengthening and deformity correction.

Good luck. As the other poster said covid is quite bad in India right now but Mumbai like New York is already getting better.

Did Parihar agree to perform surgery on you next month?

I haven't seen it, but does it have anything else other than beds?

I think Donghoon's level of PT might not be necessary but maybe it gives you that extra quick recovery. Even Rozbruch sends his patients home and makes them do their own simple PT.

From everyone that I heard traveling there, getting very sick from the food and environment is almost a guarantee if you're planning to stay for months. I've been food poisoned before and I can't even comprehend how dangerous and painful it would be for me to be really sick while undergoing lengthening.

Quite possible especially if you're a foreigner. Unless you cook your own food every day there will be some risk. If you have money stay at a 5 star hotel and get hygienic food and avoid anything that's not cooked.
