Can I Get a Rough Price Estimate Before a Consultation?
It’s completely normal to want a general idea of cost before committing to a consultation, especially if you are comparing options and planning your timeline. In many cases, we can share a rough price estimate early in the process, but it depends on the treatment and the details of your goals. This article explains what we can usually provide before you come in, what information we need from you, and when a consultation is required to confirm pricing.
Quick Answer
Yes, you can often receive a rough price estimate before a consultation once we know a few basic details about what you are looking for. A rough estimate is meant to help you plan and decide next steps. It is not a final quote. Exact pricing requires an evaluation and a confirmed treatment plan.
What We Mean by a Rough Price Estimate
A rough estimate is a general starting point based on common treatment plans for similar goals. It can help you understand whether a treatment is likely to fit your budget and timeline.
A rough estimate is not the same as:
-
A finalized quote
-
A guaranteed price
-
A complete plan for your anatomy and goals
The purpose is clarity, not a number that creates false expectations.
What We Can Often Share Before a Consultation
Before you come in, we can usually provide:
-
General guidance on what affects treatment cost
-
Whether your goals sound more aligned with a surgical or non-surgical option
-
What is typically included in care (high level)
-
A rough estimate range once we understand your request
This helps you make progress without needing to guess.
What We Need From You to Provide a Helpful Estimate
To share the most relevant estimate, we typically need:
-
The procedure or treatment you are considering
-
A short description of your goals
-
Whether you have had prior surgery or treatment in the area
-
Your preferred timeline
-
Your best contact information so we can send the right resources and follow up if needed
Providing these details helps us avoid giving you a number that does not match what you actually need.
When a Consultation Is Needed to Confirm Pricing
A consultation is usually needed when:
-
You want an exact quote tied to a finalized plan
-
You are considering a revision or have a history of prior procedures
-
Your goals involve multiple areas or combination planning
-
Your plan depends on details that cannot be assessed online
-
Safety planning is a key part of the recommendation
In these situations, a rough estimate can still be helpful, but the consultation is what creates accuracy.
Common Questions
Why can’t you just post prices online?
Because treatment plans are individualized. Publishing one number often creates confusion and does not reflect what your plan may involve.
Will the estimate you share be my final price?
Not necessarily. A rough estimate is guidance. Final pricing is confirmed after evaluation and planning.
What if I am still deciding whether I want treatment?
That is fine. Many patients request information first to understand options and timing before booking a consultation.
Request Pricing Information
If you would like a rough price estimate based on your goals, the best first step is to request pricing info so we can send the most relevant details and next steps.
