Is choosing a Hair Transplant surgeon like choosing a business partner?

ok, I realise that most people need to sign a disclaimer but there must be another way around it.

Some things I've learned through the experience of operating my own business are:

1) Virtually every business contract as originally written is egregiously one-sided in favor of the party that drew up the contract.

2) You do not ever have to accept a contract exactly as it is proffered to you.

I never sign any business contract, no matter how straightforward it might seem, without first having my lawyer review it and point out aspects that he feels are not reasonable or fair. I then contact the originator with a list of changes that I require be made to the contract before I will sign it.

I know that many people paying for HTs are already stretching their finances to their limit, but if you're going to be shelling out thousands of dollars for a procedure that will affect your appearance for the rest of your life, it's really worth it to spend another $100-$200 to have a lawyer review that disclaimer first, and then to let your doctor know what aspects of it you find unreasonable or unacceptable. If the doctor is unyielding, then you might want to take that as a sign that he's not the doctor for you, or that a HT is not the procedure for you.
