Who told you Clavell was $25,000? I paid $21,000, out-the-door, 10 months ago.
As did I, 8 months ago.
I can see where maybe he's bringing his price in line with other high volume, highly successful surgeons. He was a great deal at $21k when others were thousands higher, even Dr. Karpman near me with an unfriendly staff and poor bedside manner was much more expensive than Dr. Clavell. Perito and Eid were A LOT more money.
Since this surgery is like a grown man's Disneyland, maybe the prices are rising to try to slow down demand, just like they do at Disneyland. If insurance will pay it, seems like an understandable business move. Maybe they'll develop a self-pay price and an insurance price like auto body repair shops have done for decades.
Still......worth it.
