That's one of the funny differences between Dr Shah and Dr Parihar that me wonder how two doctors who were fellows under Dr Paley could have such contrasting views on something. Dr Shah seems quite confident in bilateral plate fixation being a good idea but Dr Parihar is totally against bilateral plate fixation for cosmetic patients. Interesting.
Ok as Mitkovic doesn't even pick up the phone... I'm considering Dr. Shah.
But then I'll need to find another person for femur lengthening 
How does weight-bearing work with internal PRECICE? I'm probably going to be at least 185 lbs by the time my turn at LL comes around, so will that be enough to be on crutches with the nails inside me?
This guy seems to know what he is doing, and the price is right.
He doesnt do femurs?

Currently Precice II is partial weight bear max of 150LB you will need to use a walker. There are talks of a new Precice coming that can handle full weight bear past 200.

He also does femur lengthening.
If I do Precice I think Birkholtz is the better foot forward unless Shah will let you lengthen and do PT from home. Because with expenses and food it would probably be more if not the same as Birkholtz.

It should come out a little cheaper than Dr Birkholtz, but the difference isn't that large. If you stay in a hotel for four months it should cost around $46,000 USD with Dr Shah.
Basing this off of my roughly $1,500 a month expense of hotel + food while staying in Mumbai and adding that on top of Dr Shah's $40,000 price for Precice internals.

Yeah cool thanks. I think I'll probably have to do LON and ask to do PT in the USA when the frames are removed just to leave a strange country. I may get lucky next year and have enough to do Precice but not gonna get my hopes up.
Hot of the press here is a message from Dr Shah: "Nail u are interested will cost u
Around US dollar 50000 and other cost will be another 10 -12 k US dollar...
If you are interested, nail will be ready in 5 wk time and we can go ahead"
The 10k cost for surgery I knew about but the 50k(!) to Ellipse for the nail. WTF? It says 30k at the beginning of this thread which is barely a month ago. Certainly going to query this.
Who else has been quoted? Isn't it 30k also through Dr Parihar also in the same city?
