  1. I was quoted ranges, the ranges were + or - 5% of a certain number of grafts i.e between 4500 and 5000. One Dr quoted 5500, but not Dr Erdogan

     

    Thanks for your input.

     

    I see your a patient of Dr Erogan, sorry, will be.

     

    Best of luck in your surgery.

  2. Just double checked all my correspondence from those Dr's or their representatives who I spoke to. Total graft estimates correspond with the estimate provided by Dr Erdogan; these included Dr Basinga, Dr Doganay, Dr Shamalak, Dr Feriundi, Dr Zeiring, Dr Lorenzo, Da Vinci clinic and the Private Clinic.

     

    You were quoted the exact same number of grafts by 8 surgeons/clinics?

  3. Well 11 day from my query to Koray Erdogan to why so many grafts comparatively and all i received was the exact same message with the graft count changed to 4000.

     

    With no explanation of the thought process 5000 vs other surgeons it just confirms it was just an inflated count in my mind.

     

    I any case i choose not to use Dr.Koray Erdogan on his communication alone.

  4. First thing that made me choose him was the good impression I've got from emailing with him, thing that absolutely did not happen with Dr. Erdogan.

    Second, I'd be an hypocrite if I didnt say "the price". Around half of other surgeons in Turkey and around 1/3 of what I would have payed in my country. Being a college student sometimes forces you in a specific direction... I know I shouldn't consider price over quality, but I also thought "afterall, thinking about my genetic and my hair loss at 24yo, it can't get that much worse.. might as well try it!".

    Final price btw was 1700€, including hotel staying, transportations to/from hotel/airport and post operation drugs and care. Plus, I've got the Venice-Istanbul direct flight for only 140€ round trip. I can't ask for more :)

     

    I know nothing about Dr M. but Dr Erdogan gave is giving me the same impression if fact worse, i suspect him of over quoting my needs. He is opinion i require 5000 Vs the 1800-3500 quotes by 3 other WELL RESPECTED docs. When i asked about it no reply for 5 days now.

     

    Was about to commit to DR H. Dognay but ill look into Dr. Maral. Looking at available date Dr Erdogan.

     

    Hope it all comes out the best for you my brother/s

  5. Thanks, so that confirms what i thought, no way to know,

     

    I really wanted to go with a particular specialist but now i feel he is trying to gouge me, doesn't help that i have been waiting for his reply for a few days but it was the weekend. I guess you guys know how impatient you can get when you finally decide to take the leap.

     

    Im not really price shopping but it is a difference of 6000 euros to the next highest.

  6. I have been getting online consults from surgeons/clinics, 5 so far, the one i was hoping to perform the surgery is quoting a much higher graft number than the rest. Im still waiting on an explanation from him but it brought up a question.

     

    If you have a 3000 graft procedure done how do you know that that number were extract and/or implanted?

     

    Thanks
