Regular Member mgmjtech Posted February 13, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have been wanting to get hair transplant for awhile now but the only thing that is stopping me is the cost. With the recession, any chances these doctors will lower their price? Someone here must have some influences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Eman Posted February 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 I doubt it, but it can't hurt to ask. HTs are a luxury so to speak, so I really don't think that prices are going to be lowered. My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out...

Senior Member mmhce Posted February 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 mgmjtech, You can investigate surgeons who reside/practice in "Third World" countries with lower costs of living and production. I believe there are some Coalition surgeons in Pakistan and Thailand. You will have to check and see on this forum and inquire for their pricing structures. take care...

Senior Member Dewayne Posted February 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 I think they will, for the most part. Of course some will have enough demand that they won't have to. But, I never thought cars would drop like they have and you can just about steal a Ford or Chevy right now. 100?

Senior Member mmhce Posted February 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ask to be put on standby, if somebody cancels, they will offer you their spot at a reduced rate. That's interesting. Any doctors in particular that practice this? take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Byehair Posted February 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 Almost all doctors will do this, but you have to be in a position to get yourself to the clinic within a few days of getting a phone call from them. Actually a few years ago I went for a consult with Dr. Hasson and he said they had an open date the following day and he would give me a huge discount if I wanted to book the next day. It was a very tempting offer but I just wasn't ready to pull the plugs at that time. Typically you can get 25% +/- off the regular cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmhce Posted February 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 The major problem with this sort of arrangement is the travelling, and all the surrounding travel arrangements. take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member latinlotus Posted February 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yes, the travel arrangement may actually cost you more. It is quite common to see airfare doubling, tripling or more, a few days before departure. I have a flexible work, so I could have gone stand by with HT. However, considering the risk of airfare cost vs the discount for HT (offered by dr. Cooley), it was not worth it for me. ******** I am not a doctor. The opinions and comments are of my own.

Regular Member fishman35 Posted February 15, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2009 I can speak from experience. I have a friend who just asked his HT doctor to reduce the price because he was paying cash and they did. It is tough times for these doctors, just like other businesses, and they NEED clients. This is kind of a "name your own price" economy. I just got a brand new box spring and mattress priced at $875.00 closeout for $500.00 out the door, tax and all!

Pakitan is a long way but i will be looking into the standby stuff. first time I heard of it but never hurt to ask. I am sure with the economy right now, bargain the price is the way to go.
