Yes, Dr. Berg in Seattle. I don't have any before and after photos, he has them all.

My HT (female) was a little over 1 yr ago and my hair looks almost exactly the same, maybe even worse. My hair loss has always been gradual, so it's not due to my own hair loss. I've posted about this dr. before and even went to Hasson & Wong and talked to their consult. I was never promised a great head of hair like when I was younger, but never did I anticipate that I would waste $6k for nothing. The dr. had me sign an agreement, which I never got a copy of, that said I may not have any results. I believe the problem was his lack of knowledge and experience that caused me to have no results (used goggles instead of microscopes, the hair tech showed up late and her ride to leave showed up early, they took 1c x 15-18"c strip when he only wanted to transplant 800-1000 grafts. He "claims" to have transplanted 1100 grafts, but where did the rest of my hair go? I believe several hundred hairs ended up in the garbage. Not a day goes by where the back of my scalp isn't tight and feels very uncomfortable, a reminder of what he did to me. My regular dr said the scar looks good, but why does it feel so tight other than he took too much? Instead of a HT, I feel he did a hair removal.

Yes, it is Dan Berg. I guess I saw that he is with the "University of Washington" and his name came up with two different derms I asked, so I thought it was ok to go with him. I did see Mike Ferco with Hasson & Wong a couple of months ago. He basically told me to head to Vancouver and meet with one of the doctors. He also suggested I contact some guy (whose name I can't remember) that does radio shows about hair transplants or something and he would most likely help me get my money back. Mike was not impressed with the transplant, but at the same time, he wants to sell me a service through H & W. At this point, I don't think I'd want to go through another HT, I just want my money back. Reading this website, it makes it seem that a transplant can give you the appearance of a full head of hair. Dr. Berg told me I would always be thin, and basically introduced me to Toppix. As for pics, unfortunately the only ones that exist are with Dr. Berg.

I had a HT about 1 yr ago. I am a female with patterned baldness (thin in front). I see virtually no difference from what I looked like when I started, still very thin on top and still having to use some type of concealor. I am angry and frustrated since it cost me $6k. The whole experience was bad the day of the surgery. They said 15cm x 1cm was my donor hair (1200 yielded). They placed 1185 units on 1024 sites. They used masking tape to hold my hair out of the way, which ripped out a lot of hair when removed. The worst part is, the doctor denied using masking tape despite the fact the nurse confirmed it (and I saw it). One of the techs showed up late, and her ride home arrived early, so I don't really know how much was placed. They used goggles instead of a microscope when grafting the hairs. While they were placing the hairs, the tech showed me the hairs and they were just sitting on the palm of her hand. I'm not sure if that is normal procedure or not. Now I feel that not only am I still thin on top, I'm a lot thinner in back since he removed more hair than was placed. My hair was very dense in the back before the surgery. This was Dr. Berg in Seattle. Do I have any recourse?
