Why is my BS alert system going off when reading David's post?

Could it be that other forums are FILLED with patients of NHI who are disgusted with their results?

Wide scars and a bristle-like grafts seem to be the biggest concern.

David's post is yet another reason for us to be wary of "fantastic results"---

Nobel, NHI, Norton, and many others prey on the uneducated and do not wish to take the next step in the HT evolutionary process.

However, they charge like they do the best work in the history of hair transplantation.

Of course, this in my OPINION, but it could be the underhanded tactics of a competitor.

Please------ Somebody get a shovel to clean up all this crap left by the NHI rep.

This is so typical and transparent, first post and reads like a glossy advert for NHI. Fortunately anyone who has done even a small amount of research will discover a number of unsatisfied patients of this clinic who mostly end up going for repair work in North America.

Definately BS, B Spot!!

Hi

Just do a search on here and hear feedback from actual patients.. Also, look at the results of the people who are on here recommending.. Many of us have had several procedures, and have been on this site for years...This is one of the only places where you can receive objective advice..

Who would you rather believe?

All that's missing from David3's post is how they supplement their over-the-moon results with the laser light show!

B Spot called it...

David's post is the typical sham post one would expect from such a clinic...

You can see my thread below about choosing an HT doctor...in which I discuss briefly about spotting shams.

How do I choose a hair transplant doctor?

Question/Answer: How do I choose a hair transplant doctor?

Quoted directly from my thread above:

-------------

The internet is your best source of information that you can find and use...but be careful in your searches...not everything you read is true. So a few cautions: Be careful of marketing tactics that are obvious to some and not to others. Marketing tactics include:

1. Over generalizations on very specific items
2. Over-use of glowing positive words like "natural", "easy", "satisfaction" and "guaranteed".
3. Before/after photos that are:
a. Small and/or blurry
b. Taken from different angles
c. Taken in different lighting or surroundings (Camera flash plays an important role in trick photography...results can look better or worse depending on angling and use of the flash)

------------

Cheers,

Bill

I did about 2 years research before I found NHI and was very impressed with the overall professional package.

I would not believe any of the criticism that has been stated below, as I found Malcolm to be a very honest and straight guy, I can only assume that what has been said below is some sort of underhand tactic from a competitor.

To be honest you don't even have to take my word for it, why don't you just call NHI and ask for past patients numbers and talk to them or go and see someone that has had it done by NHI.

Good luck with you decision but I can highly recommend NHI if you want a great result.
The above David3 post is clearly a sham post designed to distract from the facts. Just the fact that he says "the transplants will work with any nationality" is a dead give away that it was clearly written by Malcolm Mendelsohn and company. To be very honest the more I read about Malcolm Mendelsohn and nhi clinics the more I know what type of hair cowboys and criminals to avoid. This has been a very educational and enlightening experience and I would like to thank you all. The question is. How come they let people like Malcolm Mendelsohn and nhi clinics rip people off so openly? Is there not a regulatory body of some sort? I know he is in Greece, But Greece is part of the EU (I think) and does the EU not have common consumer protection laws for all its member states?

Hi yes I know the Choi NHI Clinic in Athens. I am based in the UK and went to Athens a couple of weeks ago for a procedure. initially I was a little nervous, but I have to say, honestly, the experience was great. The procedure was painless and the clinic team were very professional. The thing that surprised me most, looking back is that this whole thing was not a big deal I had no post-operative pain or swelling and now - nearly three weeks later i'm wondering why I delayed things for so long. If you're thinking of getting a hair transplant I'm sure there are some good places around, but I would recommend NHI in Athens to anyone...go for it guys!

JonJ; I am happy your experience went well. Recommending a doctor or clinic without have your final results is carries little weight. I know lots of stories of people like you that left a clinic extremely happy but 10 months later when the results were suppose to come they were extremely disappointed.
