Have you already paid a deposit for this procedure?
No I haven't payed any deposit, which I know I should, but they didn't request, because I'm assuming they need to complete the consultation at their clinic to determine if I'm qualify or have the payment be done in full. But since I have had previous FUT and FUE, I know I am qualify for the session.
Have you researched into the Dr/clinic?
Yes I have research, I have checked their website, and I have read some other member's previous experience with the Dr and clinic.
Have you viewed past results and possibly spoken/emailed past patients for their views?
Again, I apply for their online consultation, and sent them my pictures as requested and told them I had prior experience with hair transplant, I even made a professional HD video for them to view, though not sure if they even view them. They sent me an email that the pictures weren't enough to determine if I qualify, and that I need a personal consultation at the clinic.
Are you actually aware what procedure you are having done and the associated costs?
yes I have done my calculation, but I'm not sure about everything, as the price may change.
Are you aware that you will need a visa to travel to India?
I have traveled to other Asian country, and usually I apply for the visa at the airport. Unless India is different and need to request a Visa from the USA.
Has the hotel etc been booked and are you aware of the costs?
I think in the first instance you really need to come up with a list of questions and ask the clinic rep to clarify these in writing. It could simply be just because you have not asked, the clinic have just have assumed you know the answers.
Also you might want to demand that the clinic at least send a driver to the airport to pick you up, worryingly you do come across as someone who could possibly be taken advantage off by a dodgy taxi driver after a long flight
My concern as well, I'm sure the clinic have had several clients from other countries and is aware of this, I assume they would prepare me with information concerning these things.
