Saw this post on another forum and thought it needed to be shown here:

i think fellers going to be increasingly in demand in the future. hes my first choice at the moment as well. i just hope he keeps up the quality of his work if he gets more popular.

 

[theanimator]

if he gets popular?.....He's already one of the top 10 hair transplant docs in the country!

IMHO

 

[Sean68]

i know but at the moment he seems to be the number one choice for a lot of people thats all.

So what do you guys think about the varying scale of grafts quoted by the different clinics? From 1000 to 5000+ is quite a difference!

Dr Feller is a straight up guy who is passionate about his work, there is no doubt that Armani is one of the best too but somehow I don't think donor management is one of his stronger points.

What a f*****g *** happy joke! Are you kidding? There you have a number of good docs. Feller, H&W, Rahal, etc...quoting reasonable graft needs and then comes Armani showing the true limitations of FUE. I bet if he was still doing strip he would have quoted something near the 3k mark like Rahal. What a douche.

that's funny. I had a quote from Cole and he wanted $4800 for 800 grafts. How many grafts did he quote you at?

 

[PersonGuy]

800 grafts? What Norwood level are you?

 

[symbolx]

I am about a norwood 3 without the vertex going yet. Yeah 800 grafts was a bit conservative for my taste. Dr Cole said he was concerned about shock loss. Dr Rahal quoted me at 2500 grafts which is more realistic. Don't know why Cole wanted to do only 800.

 

[PersonGuy]

You got me. I'm not too familiar with Cole, but 2500 seems a LOT more realistic. Rahal has some good results he's def. one of the better ones. I would also definitely check out Feller and Hasson and Wong. At least go for either a physical consultation or virtual just to see what they quote you graft count wise.

 

[symbolx]

I did a virtual consultation via pictures, but the pictures were not of great quality since my camera sucks. I think Rahal went for the highest amount because he was unclear of my hair loss. I'm sure if I did a live interview with him the number would go down. But I would say that I'm not extremely impressed with Cole's office. They seemed to be a bit insistent: they kept calling me asking when I can schedule an appointment. They also seemed a bit rude and kept haggling with me over procedure costs. I think if they do that it's not a good sign.

Varying quotes can be very confusing and this is why lots of research is necessary.

With the above clinics i would also recomend Shapiro Medical Group as they have produced consistent good results for years.
