LAGrowin, perhaps you're right not 'all people' are shady but the people I met chez Monegal were shady (doctor, fake PT and others). Other patients with bad experiences share my view about their doctors (Unicorn, Hanshi).

notatroll,

My apologies if I came accross harsh.   I am sorry that you did not have a positive outcome and that you had to experience 'shady' characters in your journey.  It is truly unfortunate,  as we all dive into this hoping to positively change our lives.   It is no joke.

As I hit the one year mark post-op jut a few days ago, I reflected on all that I went through,  the pains,  the fears, the doubts, sleepless nights.  I was blessed to be up and waking within 6 months and at 3" taller.   It is all behind you before you know it.  Would hope that everyone would have that experience without having to watch their back.

I think all American doctor patients I have interacted with (Paley, Rozbruch, Mahboubian), have all done well.  Unfortunately not everyone can afford them and so they look to other less expensive options in other parts of the world, and this is where we have to be careful.

We cannot generalize however.  I was treated with the utmost professionalism without a hint of 'shady' by Dr. Mahboubian.     I would do it all again.  It was life changing!

Best to you.

my h1b visa, it does not allow me to be without job for more than 2 months and no company I know of will give me a sabbatical

Leave your job and get the visa again. Depending on where you are from, getting a green card can take forever, so it's not like your situation regarding H1B will ever change (I don't know).

If the surgery is not that important to you and you can live without doing it, then go and enjoy life!

LL is more important to me than my current job , even though the possibility of getting equally high paying job later is low. Yes for me the GC will take 150 years (India). That is why I have decided to quit, do LL and try to find a job again that sponsors visa, if not I have taken Canada PR as back-up option (not as high paying as US but higher than India).

No worries. Perhaps there are indeed good doctors and Mahboubian is one of them.

My advice for everybody, when you visit your doctor for the first time trust your guts. I noticed my doctor and everything around him were shady from the beginning. His demeanour was scary (reckless, arrogant, lecherous). His true evil face only showed up with the bad cases like Cooper for example (threatening, blackmailing, name calling) Musicmaker (Stockholm syndrome) and other patients who are not in forum with very bad results (nerve damage, misalignment, non union, nail failure and others including the guy who killed himself). Guys and gals TRUST YOUR GUTS.
