Great Thanks  dear friend it is very helpful

Thanks for posting the answers.

Surgery alone costs $30k now? It used to be $10-$15k.

Are these all the questions you asked? Sounds like Skype consultations aren't really worth it if they cost so much money.

Are you considering him for surgery?

I want to make sure I understand your numbers correctly.

The total price for surgery with PRECICE 2.2 with Dr. Parihar is $66,000, not including additional costs for physical therapy, accommodation, food, etc..

If that is correct, the price for STRYDE would be around $80,000, not including additional costs for physical therapy, accommodation, food, etc... STRYDE should increase the price by at least $10,000-$14,000 since each STRYDE nail is $5,000-$7,000 more expensive than PRECICE 2.2.

I may misunderstood what he told about surgery with precice, but if I'm not wrong that's it.
