His office actually told me it's fine to post prices he shared with me. Feel free to verify with this office directly. I was given this info April 17th. I didn't ask to clarify if the extra $5k for Stryde was bilateral or not. Either way, quite a big difference from the last set of numbers provided.

There was more in the email but I'm sure they'll send the same set to details to anyone who contacts them.
Anyone considering surgery with Dr. Mahboubian should be very cautious regarding what they will actually end up paying for STRYDE. Since only March of this year three different prices have been quoted to three different people with a price difference of $25,000 for femur or tibia lengthening and an unbelievable $40,000 price difference for combined femur and tibia lengthening.
If you have seen Dr. Mahboubian's website and marketing material you should not surprised by this tactic... 
Would it be wise to wait for Dr. Birkholtz to offer stryde? Out of all the doctors, which doctor would be the way to go (including the ones not listed and those who don't yet have Stryde - assuming they will some time later) for:-
a) Someone not able to afford the top dogs (Rozburch, Paley e.t.c) - cost is a factor.
b) Is able to afford - cost isn't a factor.

Mahboubian has produced the same results as these two other doctors, and I'd say is at par with them when it comes to CLL, why do you think he's a rip off lol, it's US service bro! I'm not in affiliation or advocating for Mahboubian but I'm just saying. He is cheaper now though
