immusicman Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Well, I have done a little homework. I have contacted Nuhart, Bosley, and MHR to get some information. They ALL claim to be the best and ALL of the pictures they post look good. I would like for some REAL patients to respond and tell me where is the most affordable place? What physician do you recommend? How was the experience? I live in WV..close to Pittsburgh, Columbus OH, and Lexington KY, kinda in the middle of these cities. Any other advice would be most appreciated. I would like to get it done today..but I know a decision like this needs to be addressed with caution. Also, tell me what it cost you if its not too personal. I really would like to know what I am looking at cost wise. I am probably a 5.5 or maybe even a 6 on the hairloss scale. but have plenty in back and sides. thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Billydett Posted October 11, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 11, 2005 Whatever you do do not go to any of those clinics for a Hair Transplant. They have been complained alot on this forum. Have you heard of Dr. Haber? He is recommended by the creator of this forum. Haber is located in Cleveland. Im not too sure how far taht is from you.

Senior Member Gorpy Posted October 11, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2005 Generally the top qualitiy doctors are as cheap or cheaper than the franchise operations. This is a serious operation you are considering that will affect the way you look for the rest of your life. While price is certainly important, it should not be the primary factor in your decision making. Expect to pay about $4 a graft. Some docs will go down to $3.50 per graft if it is a large session, i.e. 2000+ ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Pat - Community Publisher Posted October 12, 2005 Administrators Share Posted October 12, 2005 Musicman, Take your good time to look beneath all marketing hype before committing to a surgeon. Unfortunately the marketing for some clinics is far more advanced and refined than their actual surgery. I do my best to suggest physicians with a proven track record of doing state of the art work. But don't go soley on any one person or groups recommendation. I suggest entering the name of the physician or clinic you are considering into the "Find" feature on this site to search posts about them going back on this forum over 4 years. You can then email their patients directly. Some may even meet you in person. Best wishes and "look before you leap", Pat Never Forget - It's what radiates from within, not from your skin, that really matters! My Hair Loss Blog Sharing is what keeps this community vital.
