Well as promised here is my report from Europe Clinic Poland,and Dr.Marwan Saifi.
For those wanting the short version,I had a consultation with Dr.Saifi only for us to both agree that I didn't realy need a HT.

I would say this came about firstly by me being told by friends and family I didn't realy need another HT.
I've had 2 strip procedures before.
Although I'd already booked the procedure, flights and hotel this did start to resonate on me,and when I finally arrived at Dr.Saifis clinic I was uncertain.
When I explained this to Dr.Saifi he examined me and said that although we could go ahead with 1000 grafts,he agreed that with my present hair coverage it would not make a huge difference to what I already had.
So I decided I would leave it.

Dr.Saifi had not asked for any deposit from me,which was a nice change from UK salesmen driven clinics.
I knew that he had assembled his 4 person team for my HT so I offered him 300Euros as a cancellation fee.He said 200 would cover his costs so in the end we agreed on 250.
I was due to pay around ??2000 for the HT.
I must say that he never in any way tryed to persuade me to go ahead with the HT,and for that I respect him.

So I stayed a while and we chatted during which time he showed me photos of alot of his other patients,and I looked around the clinic and met his team.
The clinic was clean,modern and all you would expect for a good HT.
I spent quite some time going through photos of his previous and present patients,some of whom I have been in touch with,and to my untrained eye his work looks as good and as detailed as any I have seen from the best doctors on the forum.

Now of course this can all sound to good to be true.
I'm not working for Dr.Saifi,or under any guilt trip for my last minuit cancellation.I'm just telling it as I've seen it.
Now because Dr.Saifis pricing is a little below average am I saying all go there and you'll get the best HT ever.
Even though I've never had one there myself.
NO
It would of course be wrong for me to do that.
What I will say is that there are good HT doctors outside the forum and he is one of them.
I would further suggest that if you check out his website,and it looks interesting,contact him via email and see what you think.
Or invest ??100 in RyanAir,fly to Wroclaw, meet him and have a consultation before you commit to anything.
I think that's covered all I wish to say.
Any questions contact the man himself.

sparky you seem to have abit of a issue with said clinic or oceanblue being rather negative about both,he's only stateing his opinion and as he seem's to know more about the clinic and doc than anyone else i've come across and haveing already had two ht's he's not a complete novice such as myself i will take on board what he has to say. congratulations on the clean and tidy house because mine's a right crap hole.

Thumbs up Dr Marwan Saifi - Poland

I tend to find time to follow this thread when away on business and here I am again - but now compelled to offer some input..
I have experienced a receeding hairline for some years and finally decided to do something about it. I came across Dr Saifi on the internet probably about a year ago. I wasn't sure about the idea of going to Poland at first so decided to email Dr S for a discussion. He called me back and was very personable and took time to explain possible courses of treatment for me. He sounded knowledgeable and experienced so I made arrangements to go to Poland - still not sure if I was going to let him loose on my barnet... I was shown various photographs of the outcomes of transplants on other patients and was re-assured by Dr Saifi's calm demeanour and the fact that there was no rush or pressure to commit to surgery. To cut the story short, I went ahead with 2000 grafts to restore my former youthful brow and am now able to say that I have a natural looking and far fuller forehead of hair thanks to his good work!
I guess my message is... give him a go by taking the trip to Poland and I doubt you will be disappointed. The beer is nice there too!

Default Patient of Dr Saifi

I returned from Dr Saifi's clinic four weeks ago I had 2000 grafts, a total just over 5000 hairs. the hair is just starting to grow and I must admit it is very pleasing. I found Dr Saifi very easy to talk to, and he and all his staff were very kind and professional. I will be giving it a couple of months to let the areas thicken up a little then I will post some before and after photos.

If in six months time I decide I require a further transplant in order to give my hair fuller appearance I shall not hesitate in returning to Dr Saifi. I would recommend anyone who is looking for this procedure should give him serious consideration.

The hair doesnt start growing until 3 months, so no way your getting growth at 4 weeks.
