Senior Member Abby Posted July 25, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 25, 2008 Why is it some Drs/clinics dont tell you how much they charge for a H/T per graft/strip, FUE per unit etc. Some want you to come and sit down and have chat look at what needs doing and then give you a quote. Just tell me what you charge for so much and does it get cheaper after a certain amount etc . Just basic stuff nothing rocket science.

Senior Member the B spot Posted July 25, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 25, 2008 Dunno--if you ask and they won't tell---move along. Unless your a repair patient, or need something odd, of course.

Senior Member Abby Posted July 25, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 25, 2008 May be they feel the best option is to get you in their clinic and balg you to death with their spiel. Not metioning any names all I asked what it would cost for 500 to 1000 FUE.????? I suppose youre right, "move on" My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Mohmand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted August 2, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2008 I agree with Dr. Shapiro's staff above. We post our prices right on the website. Additionally we tell folks right up front, that if we are shooting for 2000 and my strip gets us 2080, those 80 are free. We don't stick it to the patient that "hey we can throw these away or you can pay us 10 dollars a hair" as I have heard from some patients that a couple of clinics here in the mid atlantic supposedly do. Also, patients should make sure there are no hidden fees. I have heard of patients being charged to take out sutures, have postop visits, and being charged for office meds used in the surgery!

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Abby, I could understand why prices wouldn't be listed on a physician's website (discussed recently in another thread) since prices can be deceiving until a patient really understands how many grafts and sessions they will need to accomplish their goals, considering present and future hair loss. But I agree that a surgeon should tell you their prices when you ask. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Smoothy Posted August 4, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2008 Abby, most tell the prices to their patients during consult or even have on the website. But it can vary depending on individual situations--like some offices might price in airfare and hotel into the price or offer discounts that are not reflected for example. The main reason your particular doctor wouldnt tell you anything about prices and want to meet face to face probably has something to do with a "sales model" they utilize in their clinic. Some think that if they can talk to you in person on a consult they can SELL the procedure and pricing to you while getting you to put down a deposit while your there. My experience was not like this and I knew 100% everything up front.
