Quote from: Dr. Sarcastic on November 13, 2017, 08:34:58 PMHow any of you don't walk into on coming traffic on the highway everyday is a miracle given your lack of intelligence. If you want the best service, the best results, at the best price, then more competition is the answer, not less. Competition will drive down prices as customers shop for the best deal, competition will produce the best results as that is what is demanded by paying customers, doctors who don't provide the service or results that customers demand will be out of business. Good riddance...
What this really sounds like to me is short guys pissed off that 5'9-5'10 guys are now getting limb lengthening to be 6'0+ cause the technology is so much better than it was just a few years ago. Too bad b*tches! When PRECICE 3 cobalt chrome comes out you're totally f*cked!
It doesnt work that way in this case. There is a very small amount of Ilizarov specialists because of the extra years of specialty training it takes and the amount of qualified specialists would never keep up to the demand. Even now, when CLL is still considered obscure, there are very few doctors who have a good track record doing this for cosmetic reasons. Trying to make CLL a trend would have more unqualified docs trying to offer the service and result in more people having terrible complications. That's exactly what happened in China, and due to the amount of people getting jacked up, the procedure was banned in most facilities except for a select few that had to get special permission from the govt, and look at how high the costs are now compared to before. The Precice technology doesn't solve most of the problems that come with distraction. Internal is more comfortable and leads to less scarring, but it still doesn't address problems with distraction limit, tight joints, chronic bone pains due to the initial break, bone infection, etc.
The guys who are "fked" are the ones who get duped by videos like these acting like the procedure is 99% safe because they are ignorant about what can go wrong and feel safe hearing words like "technology" and "comfortable".

Yes it does work that way. I'm not talking about people who go to third world sh*t holes like India China and Russia to have their legs in cages for months at a time. I'm talking about people who want to have their surgery here in the good old U.S.A. using the latest technology with highly trained doctors. The same doctors who have to worry about losing their business if they don't provide you the service and results you demand or career ending lawsuits if they f*ck you up...
Quote from: LLPatientAdvocate on May 23, 2018, 04:18:14 PMStay away from this doctor in Las Vegas. He is unethical.
If you want more detailed information, and I have lots, private message me.
Quote from: LLPatientAdvocate on May 24, 2018, 02:08:11 AMDo yourself a favor and ask his former senior partner, if he is as good as he claims with spinal procedures.
All of you talk as if you know this surgeon closely and don’t listen to those who have witnessed him work personally. If someone comes on a forum like this, it isn’t to harm or hurt you, it is to watch out for you and help.
Quote from: LLPatientAdvocate on May 23, 2018, 04:27:37 PMDr. Debiparshad is not the doctor you want to have doing these procedures. On both a clinical level or a cost friendly level for patients. Don’t make yourself an advocate for this surgeon. Or, if you think you are, please tell this group exactly how many cases Dr. Debiparshad has done in Las Vegas since he’s been there? Either normal LL or cosmetic? I know the answer....do you? It’s zero. Zero cases in three years there. There are other surgeons that have used Precice there in those three years, he can’t even get patients for the regular LL cases.
Quote from: LLPatientAdvocate on May 24, 2018, 02:05:00 AMThis is where you’re wrong. I have close and solid information about this surgeon. Can you shownthat he has not done a LL procedure since arriving in Vegas 3 plus years ago? Oh, you can’t dispute that? Why? Because it’s absolutely true.
As far as posting transcripts of recorded meetings with this person due to legal issues is far from hard to believe. If you choose not to believe it, go get your procedure done. Also, ask about the cost of the second procedure to get your nail removed. Is that not mentioned in that first $68,000 cost? Hidden fees... yup.
The guy is unethical and there is plenty of proof. It will come out very soon.
LLPatientAdvocate-
I'm not a direct advocate for Dr. Debiparshad. However, to any rational observer his paper credentials are outstanding and worth strong consideration for surgery. Medical school and orthopedic residency at two of the best medical schools in Canada (McGill & McMaster). Fellowship trained at the Paley Institute and a spinal fellowship at Harvard. Two published papers co-authored with Dr. Paley.
If you possess specific information that shows Dr. Debiparshad to be an unethical or dangerous surgeon I'd be very interested to see what you have. Thus far your biggest claim to prove he is unethical is that he doesn't list nail removal fees and purposely keeps them hidden. When in fact his website clearly says nail removal fees are not included. I posted that exact information in this thread with a screenshot from his website.
You're banging the "avoid this doctor" drums pretty loudly. if your objective as you stated is to watch out for and help others, you really should produce solid evidence before your signal turns into nothing but noise.

Very well put Stadiometer, Esq !
It is so easy to tarnish someone's reputation unfairly and without solid basis.
Hear, hear. We're willing to listen if we can trust the source.

Stadiometer Esq.
If you are truly an “Esq” than you know that the wheels of the legal system slowly turn. And, because evidence used in legal actions can not be disclosed prior to cases being heard.
With that said, you should also know that statement like this should not and could not be made without repercussion. I have zero fear and will continue to beat the drum, even if you call it noise.
Why have other surgeons in Las Vegas done more LL cases than this surgeon at this point? Why have surgeons that have been in Vegas less time and NO real prior experience with LL and using Precice have done more cases? Why haven’t these cases been referred to this Uber educated and ultra experienced LL surgeon?
If someone close to the situation on the ground is sending warning signals, I certainly would take second and third looks.
This has nothing to do with hidden charges and cost of procedures. This has to do with much more than those peripheral items. Would you want an anesthesiologist that you knew had a shady ethical background putting you under? Think about it... if there are character questions and where there is smoke...
The statements made are factual. Take the risk and when things shake out down the road, I will be here and the one that says “I told you so!”
Stadiometer seems to me to be a willing advertiser of this doctor. Why?
Many numbers have been thrown out about this doctors case numbers and a paper that was done some years ago.
Let’s look at this clinically, alone first. After leaving Dror’s Fellowship and arriving in Las Vegas, just how many LL cases, TOTAL, has he done? Then, let’s divide that up and then tell me how many cosmetic cases he has done.
Do you want me to make the math easy for you? The answer to both is ZERO.
After being in Las Vegas for three years, he has performed exactly ZERO LL procedures in the entire city or region.
However, there have been cases done by other surgeons in Las Vegas. These surgeons are skilled in circular fixation methods traditionally, like Debiparshad was also trained.
Why hasn’t a single patient been referred to him for treatment? Why hasn’t he done a single LL implant?
If I am wrong, I will listen to anyone, this is where you try to prove I’m wrong Stadiometer....
Good luck
LLPatientAdvocate, I still wonder why you think we're promoting this doctor. Ironically you're the one that keeps bumping this relatively inactive thread.
Perhaps you're unfamiliar with the concept of "innocent until proven guilty." We've yet to be presented with anything more than opinion and hearsay.
