G-m,
This just seems to be another instance where Dr Griffins pricing seems out of line with other coalition doc's.
1300-1400 grafts should not cost you $8500.00.
I dont think I agree when other posters who say price should never matter if you like the doc.
I agree with no-buzz 100%.
Ive been reading this forum for over 2 years and I find it ironic that alot of the cost or price discrepancies have involved Dr Griffin.While i'm sure he does good work,He may just be that busy in atlanta and can justify his pricing.
But if it was me"and looking at your pics" I would get the larger session for the same money.good luck.

In my opinon, physicians are entitled to charge whatever they want and this doesn't impact the quality of their work.

However, from a patient point of view, I am personally attracted to both quality and lower prices.

In my opinion, the best way to select a hair transplant surgeon is to narrow your selection down to 2 or 3 excellent physicians based on the quality of work, and then let price help you decide between the two or three you are choosing between.

I have booked the date with Dr. Epstein. I will be getting 2,400 to 2,500 grafts on April 18.
I finally made the decision after 5 years of research and considering the procedure. I will start a blog and update pictures on a regular basis.

Congrats Gator,

I'm having 2,500 myself in a couple of weeks. I've had several emotions lately, but I'm ready to go....

congrats Gator, your in good hands!!! I just shaved down my head to a # 3 buzzer today and on march 7th will be posting new pics, the 1 month anniversary. Anyone out there know about a good buy on a good digital camara at a great price. I have this cheap hp digital camara and I want to have better pics for my journal weblog.

I just came back from my Surgery with Dr. Epstein in Miami. It went really well. His staff were great. I had 2.430 grafts inserted. I had a lot of 2 and 3's from what they told me.

I have posted a lot of pictures during the procedure on my blog.

I strongly recommend Dr. Epstein. Very professional and his staff took great care of me. Thanks to Roxy, Candy, Karen, Raul, Jackie, and the dozen or so other people who participated in the procedure.

Gator,

Congratulations on your hair transplant with Dr. Epstein. I've taken the liberty of changing the link to your blog in your signature to be more specific so people considering Dr. Epstein can easily find your blog when you post and know he was your surgeon.

Keep us posted on your progress. Heal and grow well!

Best wishes,

Falc

Congrats Gator looks very nice and very clean after your 2 day post op shots. You do look like a fast healer, because you cant even tell from those shots that there was even a ht done. Keep usd posted
