I think both Doctor's are quality docs, I think for me the reason I chose dr cole over shapiro was I just thought he was giving better coverage with less grafts.I looked over the before and after pics and I just liked dr coles a little better, cole and shapiro were right around the same price, Dr cole usually charges 8 dollars for fue grafts but if you wait and there are a few opening left that month they will lower there price to 6 per graft to secure a date but if they get booked for that month then you will just have to wait.I was quoted 1200 grafts from pics I sent to him, when I was there he did 1443 grafts he did the extra 243 grafts at no charge, because he said he did it because I was a fireman and and he had a lot of respect for people who do our job.He said everything went good and he had the time to do it. How do I know he actually gave me a extra 243 grafts I really dont I just got to take his word for it, I thought they was real nice and it took almost 8hours to perform the surgery, it looked like he took a decent amount of donor hair and I got to tell you after only six days my donor area looks good not 100% healed but looks good.
