Thanks for the reply, H&W did say that 4500 would give me complete coverage with some temple point work and a little work done on the crown. Here are some pics to look at thanks!

Dr. Shapiro's consult said around 3000 graphs needed

Dr. Hasson & Wong consult said 4500 graphs

Anyone have any idea why the large difference? Both are top notch just a little confused by it all, 1500 difference seems to be quite a bit! (Both saw the same photos) Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response, i am looking forward tp my consult with Dr. Shapiro tomorrow (SMG) and Dr. Konior shortly after that, as far as costs my range is 9k-12k but if more is needed not an issue. If i were to need 3500 graphs would either of those 2 Dr's be able to perform the procedure in one visit? thanks! (i believe i am a 3v maybe a 4)

Does $5.00 per graph up to 2000 Does that sound about average? Also i have seen that after 2000 they reduce the cost, is that correct? Just curious! Thanks again!

Thanks for the response that is around the time frame i was thinking, Quick question on the waiting list (which would work great for me being i am self-employed and can get up and go as i please) How does that process work? If someone cancels how much notice would i get days weeks etc.. thanks again for you help! Please grow, did you have the HT done with Dr. Shapiro od Dr. Konier? If possible send me a private message i would love to talk to you via telephone if and when you have the time! thanks

Todd

Thanks for the advice, i really am leaning towards Dr. Shapiro or Dr. Konior, quick question how long after the consult until the scheduled procedure? i guess the better question wouldbe what was your time frame? or anyone else out there who has had the procedure done. Thanks again everyone here has been a huge help to me!

Thinking about meeting with Dr Keller to consult along with my scheduled times with Dr Konier and Dr Shapiro, any feedback in regards to Dr. Keller? Thanks!

Left a message with Keller and sent a Virtual consult and did not hear anything back yet or i would have talked to him, still would being he is an hour away, but seems that Dr. K and Shapiro are held in very high regard

What should i expect as far as the cost? Not really concerned about it but always something to be prepared for! I am a 3-3V on the Scale and they way it sounds i will be looking at a Max of 1800-2000 Graphs. Very similar to you as far as the procedure it sounds like.

Thanks for the advice! I am most likely going to be in the same situation, it will be a coin toss in the end but it may also come down to Dr K being 1 hour from my home also. I just feel that i need to consult with both. Thanks again!

Thanks i will be traveling from Chicago and plan on staying 2 nights if i choose Dr Shapiro, Also being that Dr Konier is only 1 hour from me and comes with great recco i plan on consulting with him also. Kinda of a nice story, i told Dr Konier that i am going to consult with Shapiro also, his response was "That is a great choice, if i were to have the procedure myself Dr. Shapiro is who i would have perform it" thought that was great!

I agree research is the key, talk to as many people who have experience with the procedures as possible and ask questions on here also! It all has given me the info to make the best choice on who to consider, i ended up choosing Shapiro and Konier to have consults with because of all the advice from people i spoke to here and elsewhere. I am very excited to meet with both and make a choice, from what i am hearing i cannot go wrong with either of them both seem to be top notch!

Going to have a consult with Dr. K in 2 weeks, any advice on what to expect? also my hair is about 1/2 inch and should be almost 3/4 inch by the time of the consult will that be enough to evaluate? I am a 3-3v on the scale.

Canceled my appoitment with Wentland and i scheduled consults with Dr. Konier and Dr. Shapiro, i am very sorry you had to go through what you did but thanks for posting it you saved the same experience for me and many others!

Thanks for the help, i have heard nothing but bad things about all the bad experiences with the Dr's in the Chicago area, I will have to travel to Minnesota to meet with Dr Shapiro but from what i hear it is worth the trip. I also have heard the he does some of the best work and his price point is very competitive at the same time. Does anyone recommend staying overnight if i choose Dr Shapiro? Also i have heard they offer packages for people that are coming from out of sate, is that true? Thanks!

Todd

Hi,

Wanted to see if anyone had any feedback in regards to Dr Shapiro in Minnesota or Dr Konior in Chicago, i have scheduled a consult with both and would like to hear some personal experiences from anyone out there. I had a consult with Dr Wentland before doing a little more research and will be staying away from him! thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Todd
