Very impressed with the stories I have heard about this place so far...met Malcolm Mendelson who seems a straight up guy...have been told this method is best for 'Oriental/Asian men only. Is this true? Also, is there anything good to say about how they remove donor hair without decimating the donor area?
Thanks for your help guys...

I do not know exact info on this clinic other than they offer a nice vacation package. Keep doing your research.

I would avoid this place like the plague. I know of people who have gone and if you think getting a consultation in the back of a car while on the way to a pub , or being looked after by a fugitive from the law in the US is a good way to get a transplant or a nice holidy go for it. I for one dont. PS also try to get a refund when he fucks up HA

Due to the fact that i have been ripped before with another clinic, I decided to do a bit of research. The owner malcolm mendelsohn does not have a very good name, nor does NHI hair clinics. As a matter of fact, i have yet to read anything good. I would take the above advice and avoid.

Sean,

IMO, I'd stay away from NHI which appears to be the Bosley and MHR Hairmill of Europe.

If this clinic uses the "Choi" implanter, I'd recommend reading the following article: choi technique

In short, the Choi implanter attempts to semi-automate a manual process and there is no proof of it's superiority. In fact, I'd say that though automation of some things in life is good, that this ine one thing that should NOT be automated. The skill and artistry of the physician is what makes a quality hair transplant.

Do not go to any doctor unless you have seen numerous before/after photos posted by real patients, not just the clinic.

I hope this helps.

Falc

Sean,

I haven't heard anything positive about NHI or Malcolm Mendelson. You will find a great deal of info on this company on the UK forum below;

Malcom Mendelson

In short, you should stay away from NHI and instead continue to research HT's to find a world class physician. As Falc said, the best place to begin is by familiarising yourself with the coalition Drs recommended on this site. They have the reputation as the top HT surgeons in the world which is backed up with extensive patient recommendations and pictures.

Good luck with your research.

I have had the procedure done with Malcolm and his team and am over the moon with the results. The transplants will work with any nationality (I, myself am white). My brother was so impressed with what I had done that he has now also had it done himself and is also over the moon with the results. 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.

hi sean
i considered going to NHI but all they promise is lies i am so glad i found this forum and all these great people to help me make the right choice. i hope you do too i would hold off going and look at going to some one recomended by this site. i nearly became went to NHI but i went to see malcolm for a consulation and he just looked at me and said i was a medium session this got me thinking how good can it be when all they offer is THREE opions on how many grafts you have, and for the price you would pay there plus flights ect you could go to usa and go to some of the best in the world IMO hope this helps sean.
