Does anyone know anything about him? I have seen his biography and he seems pretty reputable, and there are a few diaries about him, and singapore is a very strict country in terms of health, however there are some mixed reviews on him. Really interested as Iam a Singaporean and would really like to do the surgery in Singapore
Recently came across this article. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/QredVfNFc8yqMVIc5u5Q3g
(translate page to english if ur unable to read)
thoughts? Iam from Singapore and i really want this surgery but articles like this make me so scared. Is Dr Sarb reliable?
Quote from: zaozari on February 07, 2022, 08:20:21 PMThis is not pleasant. Singapore is not a 3rd World country at all!
Let's "hope" the girl and the newspaper are a bit "sensacionalists" and the doctor is not neither skilled nor experienced or serious.
But the issue is also that this is all possible....
They added pictures too, What do u think?!?
Quote from: Masteryourlife on February 07, 2022, 11:08:27 PMI realized that all CVs are crazy basicly ..also giotikas s ones and he had misalignments, one death , bad hospital care etc in like..what , 1 year?
Monegal itself has not a stupid CV and it's bad.
Dr.M has a crap CV and it proved really good outcomes even tho his marketing it's what never put him in my list .
I would stick to patients experiences more then CVs because they proved to be no really useful
Why is his CV crazy? also i emailed him and got a response i’ll show later
Quote from: Masteryourlife on February 07, 2022, 09:40:30 PMShe claimed she could not walk after 1 month or something I believe but she had precice 2 for sure so that s ofc not possible to do in this amount of time .
The infection looks bad and this doctor have ppl complaining also in this forum with misalignments in almost every one .
Just fly to S Korea and go to dr.Lee and stay safe

I have consulted this doctor.
FitBone is internal method, non weight bearing and the technology is old. Dr. Sarbjit did highlight the issues of FitBone.
He would prefer you to Precice2.2 less mechanism failure but again there is always risk in LL Surgery.
My General impression of this Doc - he is helpful but may not be experienced as compared to Dr. Pailey or Dr. Lee.
If you have money and time, go to the USA or Korea to do it . The total cost is not far from Singapore cost.
If you want weight bearing nail, go to Gnail under Dr. Giotiokas.
what do u think about him? are u singaporean also? im from singapore and i want this surgery done but im not looking to travel just to do this surgery
Quote from: Chua7941 on February 10, 2022, 02:03:41 PMHi I’m the manager in charge of precice in Singapore.
1) this patient, indeed used fitbone, reason being precice were not available in Singapore due to recall issue because of stryde. Which we are still not allowed to use.
2) this indeed is her standing picture. Why I know is because her friend who was implanted with precice, is staying with her in the same hote room which I visited them before. And by the way, her friend is doing well.
3) I’m a experienced OR nurse, in this field for about 18 years. All I can comment is that the fitbone girl’s nail was implanted properly, reasonably. The issue actually arises from the implant failure.
4) lastly, I don’t work for Dr Singh. I just felt the need to comment fairly on this matter.
Her friend has precice? but u said precice is not available so how did her friend who’s living with her get precice, also Dr Sarb said the skin infection was faked is that true? since you visited her how was she? Is she still in a lot of pain like the article stated?
Quote from: Chua7941 on February 12, 2022, 09:41:06 AMAnyway my main aim to comment is to look at this case from a wider angle. If patient do think a doctor really f up his or her case, you should just get lawyer to sue the out of him, rather than contacting media and stuff. I meant, this can be a slandering case, if things turned ugly.
I’m on good talking terms with both. So guys, there’s no need to point your guns on me. I’m hoping for this case to resolve amicably.
how come all your posts on this forum are just defending Dr Sarb? even from years ago. u dont use this forum at all but just to defend Dr Sarb?
Quote from: marathonrunner on February 18, 2022, 10:39:10 PMI'm one of the patients who did lengthening with Sarbit Singh. You can search my previous posts, its all on there. My advice is to go elsewhere but if you don't want to fly, up to you. Take your chances and cross your fingers.
tbh your situation is quite rare, not many other people who go to dr sarb suffered same as u from what ive been reading

Rare situation, sure you can call it that, but doctor lied about there actually being an infection. He kept insisting there was no infection even though I went through a second surgery with him because of visual confirmation of an infection. That isn't honest or ethical, and not only that, it was dangerous. Infections are no joke. That deep bone infection one of the hardest things my body had to overcome. You can literally feel the pain from that infection and you're wondering "what the heck is that" while the doctor is telling you "no infection no infection, don't listen to other doctors, they are lying".
First of all I was told by him don't trust the forums its a bunch of bs. But forum memebers who have gone through this type of experience can at least give some insight. Second of all he kept saying the diagnosis of other doctors were wrong and there was no infection when in fact there was (and he saw it from the second surgery). My bone had melted from the inside out by the time I saw Dr Lee. I have a photo of it from Dr Lee but its in a cd.. and when I saw what was on the cd there was a lot of photos of xrays and other stuff all numbered.. I never went through the whole cd to find that 1 photo cause it means I need to go 1 by 1 check each photo and see if its the one I want since the file titles are numbers not descriptions. And honestly, what computer uses cd nowadays -_-
But just FYI, not getting an infection is the most basic thing for a doctor to not do. HOW the surgery is done, HOW the instruments get drilled in, HOW your bone gets cut, WHERE it gets cut, HOW your skin gets stitched up, HOW you recover, HOW you heal, HOW you go through the process of lengthening, ALL OF THIS and more is just as important. Its a big surgery. Not getting an infection should be a given...
I can tell you this, SKILL WISE Dr Lee blows Dr Singh out of the water. You know.. because of the screws Singh used, because of how he drilled into my bone, because of how he tried to drill a screw to fix the tibia and fibula... I still have a piece of broken nail stuck in there which I still have not gotten out and whenever I do heavy exercises like jumping with weights.. I can feel in that area pain because of that stupid broken nail. Also there were alignment issues as well. Feel free to read my previous posts... theres a lot of info there.
And you know what Singh told me before surgery? "who cares about the fibula, even if the fibula does not connect together from the distraction who cares, we doctors only care about the tibia" Which is opposite of what Dr Lee told me. Dr Lee said fibula is just as important it provides balance and both should distracted the same and connected with bone growth.
Uh... should have known that was a red flag.
You do what you want to do. All I can do is give you my experience and back that experience up with photos, xrays, emails, and other doctor's opinions / xrays / photos (Dr Lee).
did you ever meet up with Dr Singh after what happened? Or attempt to sue or consult him because it’s very serious and the amount of money wasted is really no joke
