Side-by-Side Comparison
Free Clinic Consultations
What it does well
✓ No upfront cost
✓ In-person evaluation by a professional
✓ Can see the clinic and meet the team
What's missing
✗ The clinic has a financial incentive to recommend surgery (and more grafts)
✗ You only get one clinic's perspective and pricing
✗ No independent comparison across countries or techniques
✗ High-pressure sales tactics are common, especially at large clinics
✗ Time-consuming — each consultation takes 1-2 hours plus travel
✗ Virtual consultations are often handled by sales staff, not surgeons
