Is it Wrong to Try and Negotiate a Slightly Lower Price for Surgery?

January 13, 2012
Asked By:taralynn in Placerville, CA

i've been to my cosmetic doctor 3 times. i've referred 4 people to him for major body makeovers. I want to go back to him for a tummy tuck but his cost is a little high. i don't want to go anywhere else. Is it still wrong for me to ask him for a better price? To make it a little more affordable for me?
