Hi All,
I am looking to get a hair transplant with the hospital group in the UK. The surgeon is likely to be Dr Goldstone. He has himself recently had a transplant and his scar looks quite good. I have seen a number of post suggesting that the Hospital Group should be avoided. However, the hospital group has appeared within UK media and a number of celebrities have had the procedures. Can someone please help and advise as right now, everywhere I look there is something negative about every clinic and surgeon in the world.

hi there and welcome to the community.
please take what you have read about this clinic seriously.i have been on these forums for some 4 years and have not seen a positive thing wrote about them.
do your self a favour and research this forum the doctors recommended here have all been pre-screened and have a number of satisfied patients posting aswell as their own posted photo results.
the only dr's in the uk who are recommended here
are bessam and nilofer farjo,i had surgeries with them and can vouch for their professionalism and results.
do a search for my name aswell as "fallenstar" and "brian boro" who have also grown out results.
good luck.

challenge the unchallenged.

Don't jump in to a hair transplant. Spend at least six months doing research. You've come to the right place - use the search function on this website to learn as much as you can.

So many people are writing negative things about the hospital group for a reason. Listen to them. I consulted with Dr Farjo last year, but he turned me down for a transplant, because at 22, I was too young. I found another surgeon, who was willing to perform surgery on me, but quickly realised he was just after money. I then found several posts from people complaining about his poor results so decided to put a transplant off for the time being. I realised Farjo was right.

This experience highlighted to me the highly ethical approach the Farjo's have. Also, look at their pictures on this site - they're results are ultra refined.

Put it this way, I wouldn't let any surgeon in the UK (other than the farjo's) anywhere near my head. Celebs like sean williamson and duncan bannatyne have publicly said they went to farjo. Also, if you look at the september (current) mens health issue, there's an interview with Dr Farjo.

Do your homework and listen to what others are telling you. They just could be helping you dodge a bullet - Like they helped me.

Good Luck.

Check out Dr Rahal in Canada. I have yet to find a bad word about him. I went there. Great work. Forget the UK. Seriously.

Hi mate, like the guys above recommend...I would avoid the Hospital Group. I went there around 5 years ago and the results I got from them were shocking. Not sure about the current surgeon but Greaves did mine and he wasnt very good. I would suggest speaking to Spex and do lots of research. Good luck

Hi I live in Dublin Ireland , and I flew to Dr Scott Alexander in phoenix last month would recommend the trip, fabulous staff and place phoenix Arizona, flights direct from the UK, they even put you up in the Biltmore very nice surroundings to enjoy, the commute is no problem.

Hi TB

Do yourself a favour and go to Heathrow and jump on a plane to a coalition doctor.
I also went to Dr Alexander and flew directly from T5 to Phoenix with BA, it is very straight forward and I am very happy with my results.

In all likelihood you will probably end up paying less for the same number of grafts by going to the US, even including the air fare and travel costs. Plus you will get a first class HT.

Cheers

Research - Research - Research!
