Thanks for the reply. Believe it or not, These were all quotes on the FUE. I am not going for the FUT. 2 of the 3 consults actually recommended against the FUT.
Some of the NY Dr's are capping pricing at 16k for the FUE procedure. Each one structures their pricing matrix differently.
Option #1 - 1st 1000 grafts 10$ then the next 1000 grafts at 5$. With caps of the 16k.
Option #2 - 8$ a graft across the board with 200 free/bonus. All works out similar and or same of approx. 16k for a 2200 needed session. Of course still not as cheap as some of these out of state / over sea's doctors you mention.
I will expand my consults virtually to Shapiro, konor, and rahal next for comparison.
