Sounds suspicious, the title alone sounds like a sales pitch and not a medical practitioner.

I have $6000 to spend on my crown area and of course, that would be a lot of grafts (2500 - 3500) but worry that it maybe to good to be true. Its like someone offering you a new Mercedes for $25,000 when you know the real cost is around $50,000. Something must be wrong!!!

Ehhhhhh....sounds like some beverly hills desperation to me..be very careful man..sounds like one of those commercials with all that tiny tiny writing on the bottom that "flashes" on the screen for about 1.5 seconds and disappears...

I'll wait till they have the "buy 1, get one free" promotion

Jokes aside, do your research and see if you get a good feeling about this place and the results they're turning out.

It all boils down to what your goals are and whether they'll be able to fulfill those goals.

The price does seem to be quite low, but usually in life you get what you pay for - so research carefully.

Good luck!

Honestly, you better consider price as about the third or fourth consideration in all this. My first transplant was only $3000, but I was pretty much in hiding for 17 years.

The cheapest thing to do is shave it, but if you want it to be unnoticeable and look good; go to Dr. Cooley, Wong, Feller, Shapiro, Lindsey, etc. and narrow it down based on distance and price from THAT group.

l read the guy website, he indicated his hair transplantation training is from the hair mill company: MRI. But then again, it could his price is lower than the standard rate because he is just starting his own practice.
Just because the price rate of a particular transplant doctor is lower than the rate charge by coalition doctors does not mean the doctor is bad. Result is the key.
He did explain what he thinks is wrong with the hair transplant industry. The tricks transplant doctors play in decieving patients(l guess from exprience)If he is really good as he claim time will tell. The general advice is do research.
