Mindy,

You said, "Hello, The statement concerning Dr. Cooley referred to your words saying our work is not monitored".

If you're going to make accusations, please back them up with proof. Where did I say that the work of traveling technicians is not monitored? Are you even reading my words or are you seeing what you want to see to start an argument?

You are being far too defensive and aren't reading my words carefully and objectively. Like everyone else, I am entitled to my opinion on the matter. Go back and re-read what I wrote and try to be objective. Then we can talk.

As for my experience, I'm a 4 time knowledgable and researched hair transplant patient, the Associate Publisher and moderator of this community, have discussed various procedures and philosophies with dozens of leading hair transplant clinics, and observed surgeries in person and via video.

You are making this a black and white issue Mindy whereas I'm not. My opinion is and remains that additional risks exist using traveling technicians. As long as these risks are understood and properly handled, I believe patients can still have optimal results.

Best regards,

Bill

To learn about how I restored my hair, view my my hair loss website.

Remember, true beauty radiates from within, not from the skin.

I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own.

All the Hair Tech stuff aside,this guys HT was a total waste of time. Id rather shave bald then have crypt keeper hair.

Mindy and one more thing...

You may disagree with my opinion and that is your right. But know that my opinion is shared by many including several leading hair restoration physicians I've discussed this with.

regarding the derogatory statements about traveling techs:
1) I will concede that I am unable to comment regarding being an HT patient as I haven't had this surgery
2) I will concede that i do not have an opinion regarding being the surgeon performing the HT's as I am not an MD or DO
3) I will concede that some HT tech staffing companies send techs that I wouldn't even consider hiring which creates a large turnover and brand new faces.
4) The surgeons we work with are generally brand new to the HT field. Each time they schedule a weeks worth of surgeries with us, they get the same team which creates a cohesive environment.

My question is this:

1) Would you as a patient prefer a brand new doctor who attended a few conventions to perform your HT? Or would you prefer a novice physician to hire experienced technicians who've performed well over 4000 cases each?

In our business, we never send a team of techs with less than five years of daily experience.
We do not hire unexperienced techs. We also maintain a team leader for each procedure ensuring quality control. With this leader specifying each of techs roll in the surgery, we are confident of not only the quality of performance but also the streamlined efficiency that makes the patients experience a pleasure.

Ps: this is DK from www.dkhairtechs.com and Mindy is one the greatest team leaders.

I've enjoyed this exchange of opinions greatly and look forward to your response.

Sincerely,
Denise Kernan

Hello, As a patient I'm sure your intentions are noble. The email that was sent to your personal address that included a physicians name you did not print in full. The rest of that email invited you as a patient with limited years
exposure in the Hair Restoration field an opportunity to incorporate the surgical technicians experience. Wether we are traveling technicians or located in one office. Speaking personally I have trained doctors that are on your web site. Most doctors who specialize in Hair Transplant Surgery depend on traveling technicians, by traveling our skills stay consistent.

All my best,
Mindy Gilbert
