My Follicular story dates about 7 yrs back. That's when I first started loosing my hair. Ignorant, unaware, mixed with sadness and panic and all sort of moody emotions you can think of, I decided to take the plunge. Without even researching nor having any knowledge of the procedure I decided to go to one doctor by the name BUTCHER dr.k.b.goyle in delhi (India) whom I saw in the magazine ad. Seemed very promising with the fancy results he had shown and I thought all my follicular worries were gone only to realize the fact that the worries were just the beginning and getting worse. I was 19 yrs then.
Year 2006, I came across this forum and checked out some coalition docs recommended and I decided I would go with Dr. Rahal for my procedure. I had my surgery done with Dr Rahal on 7th of June. To be honest...first I was dead nervous during my journey to Ottawa n even before I entered the office. But after I came in the office I felt very relaxed. Dr Rahal's staffs made me feel very comfortable. Not only is Dr Rahal's a very good top notch doc but also very ethical and a cool dude to speak to. Felt like I was speaking to a friend and not to a doctor. I wanted to lower my hairline more but Dr Rahal suggested a fine hairline somewhere in between considering my future loss. It's not all about money for this doc. He really cares and takes future loss in consideration. A man of perfectionist is what I would best describe Dr Rahal. He made a real good hairline for me n and couldn't have been happier.
Over all I had 2900 grafts and he threw in 100 grafts free for me and even offered to give me ride back to my motel even though I was staying pretty far from the clinic. even called on me to my motel to see how I was doing...man Dr Rahal really cares for his patients...overall my experience was great and I will continue posting more pics as the months roll to let u guys see my progress...if ya guys have any questions or doubts, feel free to drop a line or two.....I'd be more than happy to share anything I know.
I am really glad that I went to Dr Rahal for my procedure.
