Quote from: nomad13 on April 02, 2019, 07:45:03 AMI am planning to do surgery this august, I am 160cm trying to go for 165/166, was convinced about Dr. Naveen Talvar, I called him today he said it will cost around 1800000 to 2200000 INR but I was expecting bit lower as I read aroung 8kUSD for him in this forum. if anyone is travelling either to india or russia in that time, let me know we can share costs.
When I consulted at Rockland Hospitals, I was made aware that Dr Talwar would be there to oversee the surgery, but he wouldn't be performing it. Additionally, he took a course from Dr Paley, but it isn't equivalent to a residency and Ilizarov surgeries aren't his primary focus.
I've seen some scary x-rays from Dr Sarin patients, so while there's a chance you could come out relatively unscathed, why put yourself in even more risk than the surgery is in the first place by going to someone who has shown to have disastrous cases?
In the end, the decision is up to you. But if you decide on India, I'd recommend Parihar over all others.
