Hi All,

I recently decided to undergo a hair transplant and have been reading your site extensively. I am in NJ,unfortunately due to circumstances I am not able to travel so I must find a doctor within reasonable distance to me. I have checked out posts concerning both Dr True/Dorin and Dr. Bernstein. I find some good reviews on True/Dorin, but have not found too much info on Bernstein. I have heard that Dr.Bernstein is a quite capable surgeon and a leading pioneer in hair transplantation but find it odd the lack of info so far. I would be open to any comments from members of this forum on either of these doctors. Thank you for you anticipated informational input.

Research, Research, Research, Look for the doctors that will show you befores and afters. Also question the doctors directly and if you don't get a response or acceptable answer move on to another. You have one chance to get it done right the first time! I'm sure you will be able to find what you're looking for.


Happy

Thanks for the input, but I was looking for specifics on these doctors. Hopefully someone will add with their experiences.

There are a few members here who have went to T&D (particularly, Dr. True)...Mrjobi, Youngsuccess, come immediately to mind, but there are others whose names I don't remember with exactitude. I also haven't seen much on Bernstein, though he is very well respected -- and also happens to be notoriously "conservative" in his approach. Actually, T&D are known to be rather "conservative", also.

Being that you are strictly looking in that general area (I looked closely there too, being from Connecticut), I think you would be remiss to not inquire into Feller, as well.

Either way, whoever you look into, I would strongly recommend doing detailed consults with all of them -- online or live....I don't think that that can be overstated.

Thank you thanatopsis_awry for taking the time to add your insight to my inquiry.

Ideally I would choose Hasson & Wong as my first choice, but due to the distance it would be an impossibility for personal reasons. I understand that the aforementioned doctors are a bit conservative in their approach, but that is something I will have to settle for. It is possible I may have to endure an additional surgery to fulfill my needs, but seldom does one accomplish total restoration on one procedure, that is except for Hasson & Wong from what I have heard and seen.

Thank you for suggesting Dr. Feller as a possible candidate, but unfortunately I spoke to a gentlemen in my travels whose surgery by him was poor, furthermore the doctor did not stand behind his work, he subsequently had the surgery redone by H&W with excellent results, I only wish I could make the trip!

I hope former client of these two doctors will chime in with their experiences. Thank you everyone for your responses.

I find that statement about Feller very hard to believe and would like to hear more about it. If anyone would stand behind his work, it would be him.

I too would like to hear more information (who, what, when, etc.), and I'm sure lurkers, members, and future readers alike would value some details, as well.

MikeGG, I wouldn't believe it for anything--that Dr. Feller would act in such a way and you'll want to wait and hear the real story and it's not like anything you had been told by the source--guaranteed!!
