Regular Member BaLdEnStEiN Posted January 18, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hey guys, I saw that unicorn offers 0% financing, however, doctors must enroll with unicorn for them to offer the special financing. Does anyone know if Feller is affiliated with unicorn? Also if anyone has any advice regarding financing, it'd be great. Thanks alot (I already PM'd him, but no reply) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Baldenstein, I couldn't tell you. It may be best to email Dr. Feller directly to see what your financing options are if you have already selected him to perform your surgery. This is however, a great question generally speaking, considering the financing a hair transplant question comes up frequently. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member notgoing2gobald Posted January 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2008 I don't know. Do you have access to any credit cards with NO finance charges for an extended period of time? I always get them in the mail, usually for a 12-18 month interest free period. If this option is available to you, and your line of credit allows, then you could utilize this and credit surf once the interest free period expires...

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Baldenstein, Some ways to finance would be: 1. credit cards 2. personal loans 3. home equity loan I used 2 of the 3 above for my procedures. I DO know that you can attempt to finance through the physician - but typically it's not directly from their office like a payment plan. What they do is obtain your credit information and give it to the bank. If you are approved, you have a loan, similar to one of the above options.

Senior Member FacelessMan Posted January 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2008 A good question. When I had HT #1, Dr. Feller didn't have an official payment plan, so I went with MasterCard...not necessarily the best move, given the interest you will pay until you pay it off (a personal loan may be cheaper)... A better option, as Bill mentioned, is a personal loan; I haven't looked into them, but I can only assume that the interest would be less than a credit card. Of course, as with any loan, how good a deal it is depends on interest rates, your credit score, et cetera... I am actually looking to refi my house soon, and if the rates are worth it and the timing works out (early spring), would borrow enough to cover the HT as well. Sort of a pseudo home-equity loan thing. Benjamin My Blog -- Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller My Personal Hair Transplant Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Hunkerstrainer Posted January 27, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted January 27, 2008 this is a very good question, here are my .02. Via my CC they offer a 2.99% interest (better than my average 21.0%). Or my second option, wait a bit save the $ and pay cash. Right now Im going with #2.

Regular Member BaLdEnStEiN Posted January 28, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 28, 2008 yeah, cc's may be the way to go, but being that I'm young (23), I dont have perfect credit yet, and get approved for minimal amounts through various cards. 4k for one card, 3k for another...etc. A personal loan may also be a viable option through companies such as capital 1.

I visited Dr. Tim Carman in San Diego and was surprised that he had no financing options as even a random dentist office does. So really, the main options are what Bill posted above. And of course...simply saving up money. Or, maybe even doing a combination of the two which is what I would eventually like to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Forrest Gump Posted July 22, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2009 As others have suggested, you can open up a zero interest credit card. Usually these are interest free for 12 months, and then at the end of 12 months, you can transfer your balance to another interest-free credit card.
