Are there any circusmtances when Dr. Feller does not require shaving of the recipient area? I am looking for a HT of somewhere in the mid 2000 grafts (2 estimates 2100 & 2800). If there are no exceptions to this equirement that is fine since he is obviously a superb surgeon whoseems to obtain consistently excellent results.

In general, is early December normally a busy time of year for HTs?

I guess Dr. Epstein raised his fee schedule which he is certainly entitled to.

Mrjb, Does Dr. True perform generally perform large sessions of 2500+ grafts?

OK, I met with a Bosley and coalition Member. The cost of both seemed higher than what has been discussed on this forum. Bosley's consultant said that I need 2100 grafts while the coalition MD advised 2700-2900. I understand that the results would probably vary a fair amount but I need to make sure that I obtain the correct # while meeting realistic expectations. Does anyone have first hand knowledge what range Dr True's fees are for approximately 2500-3000 grafts? If it's too expensive for me, I will not bother to schedule a consult & just continue with the meds for the time being. I budgeted between $7000-9000 but the quotes I received take me out of my comfort zone.

Which MD performed your surgery?

I consulted with Bosley at a satellite office outside of NYC. I was told that most people just decide to do it and schedule a HT w/o seeing the MDs. I was also told that they had two surgeons who were excellent and experienced. Maybe the above is accurate but I am not trusting my scalp to an unknown entity. At the time of my consult, I found this board and will meet with two coalition MDs in the near future. One more thing about mega marketing HT Centers; they have very high overhead. The quote per graft was significantly higher than the fees of the highly regarded and proven coalition MDs. Another thing; how long do the Bosley MDs stay with them? I bet there is a decent amount of turnover.

Wesley949, Which offices gave you "the hard sell"? I would prefer to avoids this when I start to consult. Yhanks.

Does Dr. Rose perform surgery in NYC? His website lists an office on Park Avenue. If yes, any idea how often he works in NY? I was impressed with his results and feedback! Thanks.
