I don't think patients have the right to decide which doctor is more capable than the other. That is something only doctors can analyse about themselves, a peer review so to speak. That means that LL doctors are the ones who can understand the technical skills and deficiencies of one another.
However, experience is the most important asset for a surgeon much more than intelligence and that is directly linked to the number of cases they've had. Now I don't know if Dr. Parihar has only done 1-2 cases of LL, remember that cosmetic cases are not the only reason to do LL and also that not even close to 10% of patients that do have LL have a diary (except Monegal for marketing reasons haha).
Finally, please do not underestimate all Indian doctors, there are a lot of them who are very skilled, much more so than 1st world countries. I remember that during lengthening one of the patients had diarrhoea. You cannot imagine how wrong it was treated even at one of the most expensive clinics in Milan. Even a doctor in the far corner of the world with no meds and no test would have treated him better.
The environment in which the doctor operates is very important; however, do not think that more technology means the doctor is better. And for other users, do not think that just having the operation in a first world country means that you will be safe or that there is no malpractice or that doctors do not cover for each other. That is indeed naive.
Femur surgery is one of the easieñ orthopaedic surgeries according to orthopaedic surgeons, not me. So please dont even mention the Word intelligence. I dont think Indian docs are all bad, Parihar is surely the best in India, the best in the outside US? Maybe not, but he is very good. I think the grade in medicine lasts about 4 years un US And in some countries It can be even 6 years, according to this some european docs should be better than Dr Paley. I dont agree doc Paley is the best orthopaedic surgeon, but he is very experienced.

My point exactly I mentioned intelligence to say that you don't need plenty of it to do this kind of surgery but the number of patients you have add to your experience and improves your results. That is a fact with all procedures because of the learning curve. US med students do 4 years of med school but only after doing college with takes 2 years and essentially the number of years to graduate from high school to your diploma is more of less the same in every country.
As I said, I don't think you or I can decide which is the best orthopaedic surgeon. Remember you are still a baby and have a lot to learn. Let's be humble.
Good point, the learning curve, in US the technology is basically the most advanced.
India should not be considered. There are very few good drs in India
The avg dr in India is exponentially worse than the avg dr in Europe or America. Many reasons for this
. Have a look at the operating rooms of "top" Indian Drs such as Shah.
Absolute nonsense. The best Dr in the entire world outside America? Paley has never recommended Parihar in the sense you are implying. Paley was asked about Indian drs and Paley listed more than 1
Why don't you post a few videos and photos of the operating room. When I was about to have surgery in India in 2014 the electricity went out while I was on the operating table. The city of Mumbai had a city wide blackout. I had to be taken off the the table and put back in my room after having had a spinal tap. That's an example of an India problem. India is a 10th world nation in terms of cleanliness, hygienic safety and and lack of corruption. I wouldn't go to Paley if Paley had to perform surgeries under Indian standards.

He is the best doctor for cll outside of the US and Dr. Paley even recommends him.

WHAT? Hospitals and clinics have back up generators in case of black out especially for the operating table and ICU. It is impossible to be left without lights during a surgery. If that happened then the situation is really bad. However, I wonder. I honestly think that at least there is one centre in each country that has average-more than average technology.
the lights went out. they had 1 backup light. Shah was going to perform the surgery with an assistant focusing this big light but luckily he decided against it and told me he'd have to do it the next day
Also, there's no ramp for patients. An assistant would put a makeshift wooden plank over the front entrance stairs so I could be rolled in the clinic
