La La Land Hair

Hello all, I met with 4 surgeons about four years ago out here in LA. Rassman, Straub, Elliot, Mcandrews. I was only impressed with McAndrews and Rassman but I was also wary of Rassman's 'mill' procedure. (I've since changed my mind a bit on him after more reading here.) I decided at the time to wait a while and continue Propecia and Minoxidil. I'm finally ready and have decided this summer is the time. I'm glad I found this amazing forum. The firsthand accounts and photos are very helpful. I've done tons of research over the years and recently (although it feels like it never ends) and I feel like I have a really good grasp on what I want and what is attainable. I'm meeting with Dr. Siporin this week and will do more research on Shapiro (I'm not afraid to get on a plane here even if I'm surrounded with good surgeons.) I'm also going back to NHI (Rassman) to meet with Dr. Pak and attend an 'open house'. I'm still strongly leaning toward McAndrews but I can't seem to find anyone on these forums who had an HT with him, (I will eventually ask him for a first hand referral I guess) Price is important of course but I'm willing to spend whatever it takes to get it done right. I've read way too many horror stories here and elsewhere to skimp. I know I'm not giving you all the details and I'm missing a lot of info but I will post more as I go. I'll also attempt to add some pics of me. I'm a class 4 (I think)
