I for one am glad that doctors undergo a thorough discussion by both supporters and detractors and that is absolutely essential to the health of this forum. I'm glad Dr. Feller has offered up his views and commend him for doing so.

But the bottom line is whether to vote in based on his performance, patient testimonials, and the overall opinion of the community at large. I also believe the one limiting factor working against Dr. Umar is lack of long term results.

Whether or not he performs strip surgeries, and requests for such results, is a silly request to ask for. This is stichless surgery, and it is all about utilizing more than scalp hair.

I do hope that this thread increases awareness of BHT cause, like it or not, it's not going to go away. To get one of the leading physicians in the world practicing this is a significant addition to the professional expertise available to the forums members.

Bill,

I happen to agree with Dr. Feller that when people are making personal attacks on him for sticking his neck out to express his reservations, he should be allowed to respond.

I do agree that some of the comments made by Something and Hooray, including quoting Dr. Feller out of context have been unfair and designed to provoke him. He had every right to defend himself.

This topic has deteriorated into personal attacks and needs to be closed at least until cool heads prevail.

Bottom line - Bill and I have asked Dr. Umar to provide this community with answers to the below questions:

We suggest Dr. Umar start a new discussion thread and thoroughly explain:

1. How the "Umar procedure" works and how it differs from techniques used by other surgeons.
2. Body hair growth cycles and their longevity when transplanted to the scalp.
3. How he qualifies candidates for surgery.
4. BHT success rates in his experience, including typical growth yield and overall success in the 150+ cases he's performed.

We look forward to an ongoing educational process that is free of personal attacks.
