For the fatigue question???? Dr. Epstein has a large crew and they switched off. Dr. Epstein also did my frontal hairline and front mid section. Then When Dr.E finished he had 2 techs on each side of my head placing the grafts in. Also one of his techs was telling me that he was just about finished with his schooling and he was going to be a hairtransplant doctor. That made me more happy because he was a little more than just a tech. If you have a small office maybe it might not be right for only a couple people placing grafts, but Dr. E has a great large staff and everyone pitches in

I would think after a couple of sessions, the doc and techs would figure that out. That's human nature as well.

Dear forum members,

Though it's not against the forum rules, I personally don't like when physicians give their input on "which doctor is best" type threads. Simply put, the probability of a personal battle increases.

In my opinion, Dr. Feller and Dr. Epstein are both excellent surgeons, but their philosophies differ. Selecting between them will involve looking through patient results and consulting with each of them and deciding which one suits you best.

There is now enough information to sift through on this thread which should help forum member homeslice begin his research.

Special thanks to both Dr. Feller and Dr. Epstein for offering their input on their personal philosophies.

But before this thread gets ugly, and the fact that the thread title no long accurately represents the discussion, I am closing it.

I have opened a new thread to continue the very important discussion of shaving the recipient area called Shaving the Recipient Area: Advantages and Disadvantages. feel free to continue your discussion about this issue there.

Best wishes,

Bill
