I had my hair transplant surgery with Dr Wong on May 14 and I am one happy man.
I am a significant Norwood 6 and was praying that Dr Wong would be able to get as many hairs as possible. Mike Ferko picked me up at the airport and took me to the Hasson and Wong Clinic. I met Joe, Doug, Dr Hasson, and Dr Wong. All are very nice guys and fun to talk to. Dr Wong is more demure and Dr Hasson is more gregarious. I think they are a good counter-balance for each other. Joe and Doug both made me feel comfortable when I got there. I would like to tell Mike Ferko "THANK YOU" for doing a great job at presenting the facts and asking ME to do my homework before choosing a clinic, and I'm glad I did. Mike was alot of fun to hang out with. He is a very outgoing guy, with a fantastic sense of humor, who makes you feel comfortable immediately. Dr Wong said I had great donor Density and average laxity except for one side. On my left side he was able to get 2.0 cm strip. In middle and right side he got 1.6 cm strips. Before we had a definite graft count Dr Wong went about half way back on the scalp. When we found out he got 5485 grafts he went back farther into the crown, which was a BONUS. I have to admit when I heard this news I got a little teary eyed as I realized I am not going to be a "bald guy" anymore. Dr Wong is such a nice and humble guy you would never know what a pioneer this guy is(The creator of the Lateral Slit Incision!). It also took Dr Wong almost 2 hours to complete my donor extraction. Dr Wong uses a SINGLE BLADE to extract the donor site, which takes more time and causes less damage to grafts. I urge everyone to educate themselves on what kind of blade a hair tranpslant surgeon uses for the donor extraction. My wife and I leave for vacation today so I wanted to get these posted before we leave. Thanks so much Dr Wong! Here are my before, during, and after hair transplant photos:

Drew,
That's one heck of a nice looking hair transplant. I know we can all relate to the emotional ride we all face during our hair restoration journey, especially the tears of joy when we realize we're no longer going to be bald :-). Congratulations, heal well, and keep us posted :-). Bill
