B -

It's great to have a discussion about whether or not a patient will receive 3500-5000 grafts or 5000+, isn't it?? 5 years ago, who would've thought??

I appreciate the detail of your thread and agree that 3500-5000 will likely be at the "heart" of transplants going forward. Many clinics have stepped up to the plate in attempting to provide the customer their desire........and in an effort to provide this service in the best fashion for that particular patient (speaking in terms of results and cost-effectiveness).

From my prospective, I feel that I still see less than 3000 sessions occuring more than I'd like for those that appeared to be candidates for a 3500-5000 session and could've SAFELY used the grafts without jeopardizing long term goals. I suppose that's where the forum comes in, helping to educate those seeking HT advice (along with other hair restoration info).

Bill (and Pat)- I do see the benefit in the sharing of hair counts with grafts. Ultimately, I'll look at the end result and see what I think. However, I do believe graft/hair counts help further provide those seeking with necessary information in examining HT results.

I believe we all agree on this point that there is indeed value in providing the hair counts.

This is definitely and interesting discussion. The most interesting thing about making predictions is to see how it all pans out in the future. Let's just say that so many clinics have made such awesome progress over the last couple years and I'm excited to see what happens moving forward!

For those clinics that refuse to catch up to the latest techniques and trends, shame on them!

I want to thank everyone who has provided me with their input regarding Dr. Nusbaum's inclusion in the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

He has gained the approval of this community and with his coalition colleagues. So I would like to announce his membership in the Coalition as of today.

I think his ethics, technique, experience and commitment to his patients and their results exemplifies what we seek in a Coalition member. He has also made the investment in both staff and experience to provide his patients with large sessions of 3,000 plus follicular unit grafts (averaging 2.3 hairs per graft for total hair counts of aproximately 7,000 or more).

Onwards and Upwards, Pat

Thanks for the update Pat.

Dr. Nusbaum...welcome to the coalition. I hope this is only the beginning of your journey here and that we'll see more of your work and your patients here.
