That doesn't add up at all unless Ellipse suddenly shot up their price. As Kirp1 said, send an e-mail to another doctor and see what he quotes you. Then you'll know for sure if Dr Shah is inflating the price or not. I'd send an e-mail to Dr Birkholtz asking what the cost of the nails would be, as he's used them already. He hasn't updated his package price of $52,000 total for Precice femurs, so...

Maybe send Dr Parihar an e-mail too if you're set on India.

Well I've purchased airfare credit with an airline that services Asia. That was in reliance on a figure of $30k which I have no doubt you got directly from Dr Shah. But if I have to consider South Africa because of one doctors sudden price hike for no special justification then that sucks and now I have the airfares I don't need.

Well if the nails are still $30,000 USD then you can get Precice femurs with Dr Parihar for around $43,000 - $45,000. It's worth checking in with him so your airline credit won't be wasted. I highly doubt there was a $20,000 USD price hike from Ellipse all of a sudden.

My guess is that it was most likely a typo on Dr. Shah's part.

Let's hope so. It would suck if he was purposely inflating the price.

This is a little off topic and kind of mean, but doesn't Dr. Shah have kind of a funny looking face? Look up some of his picture on google images. You might laugh.

Lol wut RR? Is it doing wrong to channel Freddie Mercury?

Seriously, however, the good doctor has allayed my cost concerns with his most recent message which was:

"Dear Dave,
There is good news .Indian company sent me the new costing and with recent mail the cost is coming to US $ 30000 plus taxes appro 5%
company might take deposit for magnetic device to be used during lengthening as you finish lengthening and you return the device they will return it..
pl let me know if you want to transfer money in bank account of the company i can forward the details to you
it will take 5 wk for getting nail"

I look forward to meeting the man early-to-mid March.

'cos weeeeee are the chaaampions my friennnd
