I have had a consultation with Dr. Calder of Ziering Medical in So. California today. Can anyone please share their experiences with this group?

Thanks,

SoCalMB

SoCalMB,

Welcome to our community.

It would probably be a good idea to use the find feature of our forum community to see what other members have been saying about this physician.

Unfortunately, I have not heard of this physician before. In my opinion, it is best to undergo hair transplantation with a hair restoration physician who has a proven track record of positive and consistent results. In my opinion, selecting an unknown physician brings unnecessary risk that could potentially lead to poor results.

Do your research carefully.

Best wishes,

Bill

I am not familiar with Dr Calder. I am familiar with Dr. Zeiring. HE is a good physician and will do a good job for you. As has been recomended on this site, you may want to find out how long Dr. Calder has been doing hair restoration.

I felt very uncomfortable during my consult with Dr. Zeiring.
His salesman did most of the consult and Dr. Zeiring came in and spent about 5 minutes with me. He seemed very fake and the salesman seemed very pushy.
They were trying to steer me into a supposed cancellation slot about 2 weeks out.
If you want to stay close to home try Dr. Alexander in Phoenix. It's a short cheap plane ride from LAX and a much better doctor in my opinion.

Dr. Mejia,

What information do you have on Dr. Zeiring? Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course - but I'm often suspicious when a forum member (especially a doctor) recommends someone hardly mentioned on our forum.

Bill:
We have the opportunity to see live patients from physicians at our International Hair restoration surgery meetings. Dr. Zeiring did good work on the patients presented. In regards to the subsequent comments, I agree if patients do not have a good consultation and they do not feel comfortable, there is always possibility of unclear goals and expectations with the patient and doctor.

Dr. Mejia,

Are you referring to the ISHRS meetings?

Thanks in advance for the clarification and the explanation provided so far.

If he does quality work, I hope some of his patients will post some of his work online for us to see.

Thanks,

Bill

Hey Jason,

Ha, ha, have you seen Dr. Zeiring? There's no relations between Ian and Dr. Craig Zeiring. I'm pretty sure you were kidding around, but just in case... I met Dr. Z a long time ago at one of the conferences and their clinic has removed sutures for our patients many times in the past.

Dr. Zeiring worked for MHR for number of years before heading to Southern Cal. to open his own practice. I believe he has quite a few doctors working at his practice now with two locations in so. cal and one in las vegas.
It would be nice to see some of his patient's results on the forum. I think he was also on Extreme makeover couple years back.
