As others have said, the Farjo Medical Centre is the only clinic in the UK I would personally consider. There is also the BHR Hair Transplant Clinic in Brussels if you are wanting to stay closer to home. As yet, they are not recommended by this site but I don't think many people will disagree that they do excellent work.

I went to Dr Feller and Greg should remember because I went to his clinic to get my staples removed and he took some photos for me. Because the UK health system is based on the NHS, hair transplantation is years behind but don't expect any UK doctors to admit it - and it's not their fault - just the way it is. That's my penny worth - best of luck.
hi Bachstrad
did you actually have a consultation with Greg? or did he just remove your staples... I wonder if you saw any of his work whilst in his surgey?

Moss - yes I did have a consultation with Greg and a few others including Dr Rogers assistant.You probably don't know me but my situation was that I had a HT 30 years ago and like everybody else who had a HT at that time, spent next 30 years trying to hide it i.e (Elton John/Bruce Forsythe/Frank Sinatra/Russ Abbott etc etc). Fast forward to 2007 I saw a few docs about improving my situation but nobody could do anything - Rogers said I had 200 grafts so no go. Greg said a skin graft was only option - I happened to find Dr Feller on internet and to make a long story even longer I went ahead in 2007 and again last May. Dr Feller found over 2000 grafts whereas nobody in UK would touch me which is why I believe the best are overseas. No one would expect 2000 grafts to cover a norwood 7 so I'm not the ideal patient and on reflection Dr Feller took a chance at being scorned upon but it looks a hell of a lot better than it did when I first saw Dr Feller.
I'm not knocking Greg - the guy is a well respected surgeon who saves lives for god's sake;it just seems that the UK is way behind in HT surgery .....imo.
