As some of you know, Dr. Brad Limmer in San Antonio passed away last year. I spoke with him by phone about my hair loss a couple of years ago. His father Dr. Bobby Limmer returned to the practice after his son's passing. I had a transplant consultation with Dr. Bobby several months ago and appreciated his honesty and expertise.
Since that time, I decided to go ahead with an HT surgery appointment with Dr. Bobby Limmer. He offered 1800 grafts for about $5800.
I've since learned his practice has brought on a new doctor who will take over for Limmer, a dermatologist named Dr. Krejci who has been trained by him but hadn't previously done HT from what I understand. In fact, I was told she will be performing my surgery, but Dr. Bobby will be there and can assist if I would like.
If you were in my position, would you be comfortable with this? I understand all HT surgeons have to start somewhere, but I'd rather not have it be on me. On the other hand, the elder Limmer will be present, the rest of the staff is the same and the price is hard to beat.
I've also looked at Dr. Arocha in Houston (at $5 a graft, he would be $9000, a significant difference) and Dr. McGrath in Austin.
Any feedback appreciated.
