Senior Member SD1984 Posted June 7, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Looking to find out if any solid, reputable clinics on the east coast exist in the United States. I'm talking $4-$6 per graft range here and not the wild $8 range that we see in so many of the better clinics out there. Prefereably looking for somewhere in the Northeast but would be willing to travel as far down as Florida. I am currently in New York and though I have met with some top surgeons in NYC for consults, their prices are just outrageous. There is a clinic in New Jersey that I know a couple of people online have posted photos from. "Eternal Hair" is the name. They charge around $4 a graft for FUE and seem to have solid results and a nice little social media presence and good reviews online, but I just can't get behind the fact that they are one of those places that do all sorts of other cosmetic work too. (i.e. Botox, other fillers, etc). I'd prefer a place that specializes in ONLY hair restoration. But I guess I can't be too picky when it comes to wanting to find something less expensive. Does anyone know how much Jerry Cooley in North Carolina charges these days? Love his work. Thanks in advance.

Senior Member BDK081522 Posted June 7, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2021 In this industry, more often than not you get what you pay for. US prices are governed by supply vs demand. When you have patients willing to pay $8-$12 per graft to give themselves the best chance at a successful restoration then clinics will charge it. My advice is to stay away from any US clinic in the $4-$6 range as your more than likely going to be unhappy with the results. There are much better options over seas in that price range. Traveling is almost imperative in this industry.

Senior Member SD1984 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2021 I mostly agree, though I don't think a $4-6 surgeon means certain doom. Some clinics just haven't established a huge reputation just yet but if you do enough research and see enough results you can put yourself in a good position. Look at Bruno Ferreira for example. Relatively unknown surgeon that Rolandas basically did good research on. Turns out the guy really is an amazing HT surgeon but just isn't quite "there" yet as far as having the endless good reviews, huge social media presence, etc. But I definitely would be willing to travel in the right scenario. I have done consults with docs overseas. But in a perfect world I'd love nothing more than to stay in my own country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BDK081522 Posted June 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 8, 2021 I agree there are some diamonds in the rough out there. They might not have as many posted results or reviews as the top surgeons. So, they don't charge as much as a more well known clinic. However, these surgeons are located overseas. I don't believe you will find any American surgeons in that price range that are doing superb upper echelon level work. Sure, you might not get botched but if you need a repair or density enhancement then your paying a premium for another surgery and essentially saved no money in the long run. Just don't gamble with your hair man. Too many shady clinics just looking for income.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted June 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 8, 2021 I wouldn't claim to be an expert on the best docs in Turkey - other members of the board can chime in on that. I would just advise you to go about finding the best possible surgeon for your particular case, not letting cost or location become deciding factors. 1 Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have more lifetime donor grafts as well using FUT for a few sessions and then going to FUE.

Just had my consult there, was wondering if you ended up working with them or someone else? I realize this is an old post but I can't message as a new member I guess? Thanks!

Senior Member AlexMeister21 Posted May 9, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2023 Dr. Nader is probably the best low budget doc that is near the US. You can stay in Texas by the border and his staff drives you over to their clinic in Reynosa.
