Wow. Good stuff Daemon. 
I would still like to get patient diaries after they leave the guest house so we can have an honest assessment about the treatment there. I know there was life threatening issues but several medium and small issues. Many are confused and concerned right now.
Can you please ask him to say something about his HLN.
results of his first HLN patient?
how he has or plans to make adjustments to improve the nail?
Aprroval by government?

We do have some inside stuff but nothing we can confirm yet . I am sure any verified info will be posted.
I'm happy he finally raised prices to 17,500 USD. I think this price is very reasonable as you can get plane tickets, hotels, vitamins, protein and be around 20,000 USD. What's to complain about? Anyways, just hope we can get some Indian Diaries started here.
Hey Arche
Good luck to you. I appreciate the diaries !!!
I'm really confuses.... Is Dr Sarin now a decent doctor or a horrible one?
I've seen good and bad stories about him on this site.

The site's policy is not to officially endorse or invalidate doctors. You'll get a different opinion about Dr. Sarin depending on who you ask. The best way to come to a conclusion about an orthopedic surgeon is to have a direct consultation with that particular surgeon, along with other research such as patient feedback and seeing what exactly his medical background consists of.
What is Dr Sarin's email? I've mailed him through website but doesn't get any respond...
