I live in Illinois and just traveled through Wisc to go to SMG in Minnesota, led by Dr Ron Shapiro. If you must stay in Wisconsin then I believe then a guy named grencheff or something like that . He considered average at best. Then in Illinois there Dr Konior. I live real close to him but in the end I wasnt convinced he was for me for more then one reason. .Then there Ron Shapiro in Minn,about a half hour from Wisc. border. Hes considered a leader in the field has a great staff and a down to earth great guy. Most importantly though he gets gret results on a consistent basis

Do not let geography be an issue By opening up the radar slightly you can get one of the best clinics out there

Yes lots of pictures. I would stay away from Grenchoff or whatever his name is.

PGP,

I don't think it's fair to advise a seeking patient to stay away from Dr. Gencheff.

Dr. Gencheff is recommended on the Hair Transplant Network for performing solid follicular unit hair transplantation (see Pat's visitation and detailed review of his clinic).

To see his profile and patient photos, click here.

Unless all of a sudden he has improved ,he use to work out of Des Plaines Illinois and I know personally one fella who was a victim of minigraft hairline and poor growth up and didnt address the poor growth.
I also researched him back in the day along with all the surronding clinics ,like Konior Haber Wolf Shapiro,Parsley and came away very unimpressed with him and the fib I caught him in didnt help.The poor reviews Ive read also come into play on how I feel.
I also havent seen him display any new work on here. Maybe Im not being fair or a little harsh but I did mention him so now Balding Mike at least knows there is someone in Wisc.
I did see the visit with Pat but in my eyes that one trip doesnt makeup for other trips by patients that were less then desirable. The "postop" work during Pats trip does look good though.
So I geuss to say stay away wasnt fair so instead Ill say be careful and RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH!!!!

PGP,

I think your warning was FAIR, that is what this forum is about, isn't it? Maybe it would have been better to include the guts of why you disapproved of him in the first post, but still I would appreciate your concern if I was considering that particular doctor!
