Regular Member RSL85 Posted July 5, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hi All, I’m a 26 year old male who has been losing hair since about 22. I’m finally thinking of getting a HT. Anyway, I went for a Bosley consultation last week and was told by one of their consultants that I'm class 5A I will need anywhere from 1800-2000 grafts and that Dr. Michael J. Cornwell, M.D will conduct the procedure. I have another appointment scheduled with Dr. Michael J. Cornwell next week. Has anyone heard of him????? Please provide feedback…. Also, they provided a quote of about $4.75 a graft plus a $845 fee “for everything else, e.g., medications, anesthesia, post-op healing kit, post-op visits, etc” Is that a good price??? Lastly, if possible, please provide other doctors in the Philadelphia area that I can maybe visit. I would like to have this procedure sometime soon so a prompt response will be greatly appreciated Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Levrais Posted July 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2012 RSL85, You may want to check out some of the docs in New York. For example True & Dorin. Take your time and don't rush into anything. 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RSL85 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 6, 2012 How about Dr. Feller in NY? I hear a lot of good things about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Levrais Posted July 6, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2012 He's not far from you. You should also check out Rahal in Ottawa which, as finding the best HT doc goes, is pretty close too. You can put the docs name in the search field and see their results in various posts 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member RCWest Posted July 6, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2012 Bosley has hacked up more patients than anyone! Stay away from those people!! Dr. Lindsey in Virginia or Dr. Feller in New York are your best bet. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Take your time and don't rush into anything. If you live in the Philly area you can't go wrong wth Dr Feller, on the flip so you can go VERY WRONG WITH BOSLEY !

Senior Member orangehair Posted July 6, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2012 I have to say the $845 fee is a real red flag there shouldn't be any charges for "medications, anesthesia, post-op healing kit, post-op visits" . This should be part of the service provided to you. OH VP Patient & Media Relations for The Hair Loss Doctors by Robert J. Dorin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
