I appreciate everyone's valuable input regarding Dr. Rassman's involvement with our community. It's tough to come up with a solution that satisfies everyone but I think Dr. Rassman, his staff and I have come up with a solution that is close. Dr. Rassman has shown a great deal of flexibility in meeting the concerns expressed in this thread.

As many of you know, Dr. Rassman is a big believer in patient education and empowerment. His website at www.newhair.com and blog at www.baldingblog.com have been great in-depth and empowering patient resources, as is his book - "The Patient's Guide to Hair Restoration".

His belief in patient education and open information is one of the reasons why he wants to participate in our community as a member of the Coalition.

To support our community and forum he now prominently promotes them on the New Hair Institute website and on this popular balding blog.

Dr. Rassman has also offered to give those visiting our community special deep discounts.

He is willing to reduce his normal surgical fee of $10 per graft down to $6 per graft for those who are willing to do surgery in his Los Angeles office on a "Standby" basis and be called less than ten days prior to surgery.

For those who would like to schedule surgery with him more than ten days in advance he is willing to reduce his fee down to $8 per graft for surgery in his Los Angeles office. After 2,000 grafts all additional grafts will be charged at half rate. Travel reimbursement credits up to 5% of fees paid will still apply.

To qualify for these special discounts patients must refer to the "Coalition Special" when they initially contact the New Hair Institute's office.

I think such flexibility and generosity on Dr. Rassman and his staff's part is very commendable.

Based on his generous offer and support for our forum and community I believe that Dr. Rassman should take his rightful place as an elite member of the Coalition.

I hope that you will join me in welcoming him as a new Coalition member.

Thanks again for your input and influence in helping to achieve this positive outcome for those visiting our community.

Pat

good to hear he came down in price, it was too high

I must admit he does excellent work, too bad his prices are kind of high, but if you are local it might be worth not having to travel.

Dr. Rassman has recently dropped prices to $8/graft, with a standby session priced at $6/graft (for the first 2500).
