Dr. Madhu himself ranks Dr. Path's work as the best in Asia. He told me this himself.

 

Choosing your HT doc really boils down to your individual situation (location, finances etc), specially when you are contemplating between two forum-recommended high-quality doctors. Why not schedule an appointment with both? At least Dr. Madhu is within convenient a traveling distance for you right?

hi drmstx,

 

Thanks for your advise.

 

I will think about this and update you later on.

Dr Pathomvanic

How much are Dr Path;s charges?

[RajToor]

usd 2.20 per graft for dr. path and dr.madhu is new here while dr. path has been around for a longer period and excellent work results

[Sparky]

As they are both recommended, you wont be able to get a definitive answer on who is actually best, just that they both do good work.

Sparky,

 

Getting a definitive answer on who is better has nothing to do with whether or not they're recommended here. It has to do with comparing two quality physicians who happen to be doing quality work. Everyone has an opinion and personal preference. That's why the "Which Doctor is Best" type threads typically include dozens of physicians depending on who answers the question.

 

Maybe that's what you meant to say. However, your post made it sound like we're preventing people from giving their honest opinion because we recommend both doctors. And this simply isn't true.

I wasnt trying to start an arguement.

 

I would imagine when it comes down to it, one of these doctors must be better than the other, it seems unlikely that they are both exactly the same.

 

Who would you recommend to this chap?

[Bill - Seemiller]

Sparky,

 

I typically stay out of these threads and let members of our community share their own personal preferences.

 

Choosing among two excellent physicians is very personal and requires both objective and subjective reasoning. It's also important that the patient and physician connect and have chemistry during the initial consultations.

 

That said, anyone is welcome to offer their opinion on any of the "who's better" type questions including this one.

Ok, well thats pretty much what I said in my first post, in that he probably wont be able to get a definitive answer on who is the best doctor, but as I dont wish to get into trouble, I'll just zip it lol.

[ahmedabad_guy]

Thanks for your advise and opinion guys.

 

I will do more research as i m not plannin HT until at the end of this year.

 

I might contact you guys in future again.

 

Thanks,

[dontbeafool]

to be really frank ... dont prefer to go to dr.madhu,coz he is a big cheat...

i have taken a wrong decision by having a surgery in his clinic.. and the results were very bad and disappointing..

he is good in taking big bucks from those and plant very feww grafts...

 

take a wise decision and approach himm

all d best

[drsan]

dontbeafool

 

Could you plz explain abt your experience with Dr Madhu in detail, we all should knw if someone had bad experience with any of doctor who is recomended on this forum.

 

Hope to get a detail explanation on it with your photographs to confirm your words.

[drmstx]

dontbeafool

 

That is a strong statement against Dr. Madhu. What exactly happened? Let us all know.

[Bill - Seemiller]

dontbeafool,

 

Have you talked to Dr. Madhu about your concerns? If not, why not? If so, what happened?

 

If you are a genuine patient of Dr. Madhu's, you are welcome to post your experience and photos here. However, blanket hit and run statements without providing details look very suspicious.

 

That said, if you are genuine, I encourage you to start your own thread to share an account of your full experience and photos. You will also need to be willing to provide me with your full name and date of surgery privately and give Dr. Madhu the permission to respond to your concerns. This is only fair. To learn more about how we handle patient concerns, visit Maintaining a Fair and Safe Environment on our Forum for Patients and Physicians.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill

[Forrest Gump]

Dontbeafool, your post sounds a bit suspicious since it is a blanket statement and without any supporting evidence. Do you have any pictures to support your claims?

 

I look forward to seeing your pictures.

i think DR madhu will arrange the grafts in small trays for ease of counting.will he we allow someone to count it?

[drmstx]

According to one previous post by Dr. Madhu, he says the patients relatives/friends are welcome to stay inside the OR and watch the proceedings and count the number of grafts, as long as you wear the proper OR attire. He said the same thing on his website too.

[subbu]

what could be this proper dress/attire

[drmstx]

Subbu

 

The OR is a sterile environment. So the techs might ask people to wear a surgical gown, gloves, may be a mask over the mouth and nose etc., You know, what they usually wear in a typical OR set up.

[Big Allan]

Can anybody tell me, how much Dr. Path charge?

[Bleachcola12]

Allan,

 

An Email I got from Dr. Path

 

The regular cost is 100 Baht/graft. (Exchange rate is 1 USD = 32.5 Baht) But bear in mind that the exchange rate fluctuates daily. Scaling discount for large number of grafts ,85 baht per graft for over 1000 grafts

 

The above cost include:-

 

- Doctor fee;

 

- All medication;

 

- All follow up in the immediate postoperative period including hair wash, wound care, change of dressing or removal of stitches if needed.

[subbu]

drmstx

does it mean that we need to buy one surgical gown to count the grafts

[drmstx]

no no...they will give you one.
