I'm definitely not a photographer

Apparently a lot of people are unhappy with Bosley, so I guess I got lucky. One thing's for sure, had I read the opinions on here prior to going to Bosley, I never would have went to them (although who knows what the outcome elsewhere would have been).

It's tough enough going through this with some type of success; I can't imagine having a procedure and being worse off than beforehand. What a scary reality for some people to be in...

Ya, it's sickening *just* how many go through the procedure to not only end up *worse* off, but one in the same have their precious donor ravaged to hinder their ability to even correct the problem.

yea roots, you got very lucky. I had a few scalp reductions done by them 14 years ago. Didn't have really any internet information to speak of so I went in blind. They did a pretty good butchering job but luckily it was all in the crown and can be covered up. I came very close to suing them.

As I read more in the following years, it turns out they had been sued _A LOT_ and even had charges filed against them by the Los Angeles DA for false advertising. They are about as shady as they come but they get by on a pure blitskreg of infomercials on late night TV.

I read that as well...after I had the procedure. It was definitely pretty stupid to run out and get something so dramatic done on a relative whim, but I guess such are the results of the extreme desperation most of us feel when first starting to lose our hair.

It was a scary period afterward when the shock loss was occurring - after which I had read all of the negative press online. Not a good spot to be in.

Definitely do your research, and don't take a gamble on 'possibly' getting a good doctor. It could end up being at Bosley, although judging by many in this forum, I doubt it.

No really decent pics before or after to base an opinion on this good or bad. But i guess if roots is happy...that works.

I would suggest if you have another HT, dont go back there, you got lucky, with Coalition docs that isnt really a factor, otherwise this site wouldnt recommend them.

I have to believe that doctors want to do a good job even if they work for bosley. I believe most of the docs working there, do so with the intention of learning the ropes and opening their own practice.

Some of the coalition docs started at chains.

This particular doctor and his staff worked out the kinks. As he is talented, he will probably leave bosley soon and start his own practice, to be replaced by a med school graduate with hopes of making serious cash.
