Or more? Hey @Mobot. Yeah, the deposit is required to schedule the procedure and hold your spot. When I scheduled, the required deposit was $3,000. I think it may have been a flat fee and not calculated as a percentage of the cost of your overall procedure because I signed some boilerplate paperwork that they give to all patients that said everyone had to pay a $3,000 deposit. Keep in mind that I scheduled my transplant back in mid-2023, so things might have changed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scheduled a consultation appointment with Dr. Nadimi on September 10th and paid $300 for it. Do you know how long you had to wait from the consultation appointment until the procedure? I asked the receptionist, and she said early next year. Also, did Dr. Nadimi recommend you take any medications after the procedure, like Minoxidil and Finasteride?

I asked the receptionist, and she said early next year. Also, did Dr. Nadimi recommend you take any medications after the procedure, like Minoxidil and Finasteride? I had to wait about nine months. As far as medications are concerned, it goes without saying that it all depends on your medical history, but I know that the after-care schedule they give you does recommend starting topical minoxidil two weeks after your procedure, but they note it's elective, not mandatory. I switched to the oral form of minoxidil last year, and I've been on finasteride for several years, so we really didn't discuss meds all that much, but she did think it was good that I was already taking both when we did the consultation.

The quotation sheet I received after I had the consultation with Dr. Nadimi said that the deposit was "nonrefundable" but I would recommend asking the office for confirmation.

Regular Member Steeler99 Posted June 28 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 28 5 Month Update Can't believe it's been 5 months since the transplant but here we are! Overall, I think I'm making good forward progress. Pics are under somewhat harsh bathroom light. Welcome thoughts/feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member MKE 1968 Posted July 21 Regular Member Share Posted July 21 Looking forward to seeing how the hairline looks. Very clean. Was the $300 consult applied to the cost of the procedure? Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
