Advertising on TV, radio, and other outlets can
be very expensive. The cost is often passed on
to the patient At Dr. Rashid's clinic, they busy
without such excess, and the savings are passed
on to the patient. Quality can be provided
without hype and a public show of increased
perception/awareness.
Some restoration advertising is for locations
that do less the 10 cases a year. This results
in the need for higher prices to cover down
time, and makes it difficult to maintain
experience staff with refined skills.
Dr. Rashid's hair transplant center has a
dedicated in-house restoration team. They are
constantly using their already refined skills
right here in Houston and using the Neograft FUE
machine.
FUE is a very difficult and highly skilled
procedure. Achieving the exact number of
targeted grafts that are intact/viable with a
bulb is not always possible. Some places
magically always "hit" the target number, and
you will be charged for anything/everything they
implant regardless of the graft status. However,
Dr. Rashid's Team performs detailed careful
counts and examination of our grafts. Dr. Rashid
does not charge by the number of grafts
extracted, they charge by the visibly acceptable
grafts that we implant.
Patients are advised to learn about these
details when you obtain quotes.
