TOPIC: getting too greedy raising price again???

Upgraded micro-cannulas do no cost anything SO, I can send you a product price sheet. This has been a monster stretching of the truth, my Dermatologist Dr.King stated to me on my last antibiotic refill that the latest technology in micro-cannulas cost nothing in bulk. 20count 30G cannulas for 99USD $15 Standard shipping, $30 Overnight.
I\'ll tell you what you want to hear to make more money off you, i wish there was moral aptitude in medicine, but i can\'t force anyone to fly straight, and flying straight is interpretive right, subjective to the patient or patients in question? there will always be someone coming to someone else\'s defense, but we gotta stop doing that we men need to stand-up for ourselves (for each-other), call for transparency, enough of this sewing circle tactic of defending a doctor in question. No reps for any doctor; we should invite any & all Physicians of certain interests for some Q & A here on the forum.
Cheers

Is this a second price hike? I was aware of the increase to $1700. If the price is even higher, then I feel going to see Dr. Samy Passy is a no-brainer. It will take several sessions with Dr. C\'s conservatism and considering a price increase, the cost of airfare to Brazil would easily be offset. Just my .02'

Well said Luke. Long way to go. Lets go.
Good thing we can start right here with ourselfs in doing it.

So whats the price like now ? Looked for it on the pages, probably just to stupid to find it.

Thanks for keeping us up to date jasonbond.
Some of us probably woundt have noticed.

I think SO sums things up pretty well. However, I do think that before any price hikes occur, Dr C needs to perfect this procedure somewhat. Over the last year we\'ve seen quite alot of changes in his approach and it seems obvious to me that there are still more changes that need to be made. So at the moment I personally don\'t think he should be increasing prices, even if it\'s effecting his other business. For the reasons SO gave, I think he has every right to charge more, but before he does he needs to find a technique he is happy with, that gives more consistent results. Currently gains and aesthetics don\'t warrant a price hike in my opinion. Given the potential for the ring effect, lumps, adhesions and poor contour etc, I think $1500 is a fair price. Once he his technique down and the chances of these complication becomes considerably less, then I think he\'s perfectly entitled to charge more.

The rate of $1,700 wouldn\'t end til end of March from what I was told. I asked Wade if I could schedule it in early April and still get the same rate and they were fine with it. Hopefully I\'m locked in with that rate.

\"Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers\"A wise man once shared these words with the World, somehow some folks keep on choosing the path of nihilism, when will friends wake up & call for transparency instead of justifying the failures of this elective procedure.

CHL, what happened to your \"drudge report?\" I know you\'ve been busy, but it\'s pretty unfair to keep people in the dark like this, given that you\'ve let us know you\'ve had problems with your procedure. I don\'t mean to sound critical of you, but surely you can understand that many guys who are considering this in the near future need to know as much about the bad results as the good.

CHL is right about the cannula cost being minimal I meant to say something about that before. Also the items in the ziplock bag aren\'t terribly costly either.
However, I am ok with a price increase to some degree. But I would feel better if he was using 30% and a different technique along with it. I am cancelling my January appointment and going to Dr. Passy. I have communicated with Dr. Passy via email yesterday and his total cost is $3700. So with that price I can skip 2 sessions of Dr. C and risk less exposure. Then I would only visit for touch ups as needed.

Ndbig,
What are you getting from Passy in Brazil for 3,700 USD? Just to compare with what Dr C offers.

I am curious if Dr C also increased his follow-up session costs? I need to go in for session two, which I delayed to allow the lesser concentration PMMA he injected time to kick into collagen production, it seems that it takes a bit longer. Now I wonder if the cost is still at $80 per CC at the second session or if there is a major change in pricing? Thanks for any info about this.
