Hi haretoday,

Well, I'm not realy sure how to reply to your post. I never did do the background on Gerry nor did I feel necessarily that he was pressuring me when I was in there for a consultation. My wife was in there with me too, and he said nothing like "women don't like bald men", and he basically told me the decision is up to me, and to think about it for a couple days, without any pressure. I won't dismiss your experience of course, but mine was not like that.

As far as the background check on him...that seems a bit bazaar to me. What made you do a background check on him? I am sure if you did a background check on a lot of people in this world working for professionals, you would probably come up with some dirt, etc...so his past seems irrelevant to me. That being said, since Gerry doesn't do the HT, it is a moot point, I believe, at least to me. Besides, even if it was an issue, can you really confirm that this Gerald you found on the internet is the same guy? Could it be another guy with the same name?

My experience with Dr. Katz was very pleasant overall...or as pleasant as surgery can be. yes, there was a bit of pain, very little, and some pain and a bit of swelling over the next couple days (all considered normal). Take a look at the progress pics in the picture forum for a better look at my progress. I am 3 months out now and noticing some decent changes. It has a long way to go still, but that seems typical at this stage from what I have read.

Unfortunately, most of the posts here that involve Dr. Katz for whatever reason are a bit slanderous, and ironically, none of the people who have posted have had an HT with Dr. Katz. I'd like to hear some opinions from other people who have had an HT with him. Am I the only crazy/lucky one who has had a good experience? Look at my scar in my pics? Barely detectable...just a little red still (still normal), and the growth has begun as anticipated. (very exciting). What more can I say? Should I defend Dr. Katz? I feel I should to some degree because so far I'm pleased with what I am seeing, and the surgery day went smoothly too. Any people here have an opinion that had surgery with him? The end all to me is this: How did someone's HT turn out and what was their experience like?

That's a rap for me for now! I'd like to hear other perspectives on this. It gets a little tiresome reading posts like this from people who have never got an HT from a doctor.
