Hi everyone! It has been precisely 16 weeks since I had my hair restoration surgery performed by Dr. Gabel (Hillsboro, OR), and I am posting this message to share my experiences. I have noticed new hairs sprouting from the new hair line!! Although the sprouting hairs were not preceded by the "pimple like" bumps, which I was expecting, I am just glad I am noticing the intended results of the procedure. I started using Rogaine foam precisely 12 weeks ago. Being at a Norwood II-A level when I had my surgery done close to 4 monhts ago, I am 'not sure' if I have noticed a tremendous change in the hair density over my crown area, although I 'feel' the hair to be thicker. All in all, I feel the next few months to be promising with respect to growth of new hairs from the transplanted site Cheers! Vskp.

Hi folks! I got on to the forum to write my recent experiences at the Gabel Hair Restoration Center in Hillsboro, OR. I am an Internist working in WA state. I am currently 32 years old, and have been losing hair with receding hair line over the past 13 years (currently Norwood IIA). After contemplating several hair loss prevention/treatment options, I decided on getting my hairline restored about 4-5 months ago. Being an obsessive physician myself, I did extensive research for 2-3 months on hair transplant surgeons in the Northwest based in Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland metro areas. I finally chose to have the all important procedure done by Dr. Gabel, a decision I am extremely satisfied with 18 days after my surgery. To start with, I was impressed not just with the technical expertise of Dr. Gabel, but also with his caring attitude as a healthcare provider. He never seemed to be in any rush during our five meetings so far that included a free initial consulatation, the surgery, and three post-operative follow-up meetings. He gave me ample scope in letting him know my expectations, was very thorough in finalizing my desired hairline with numerous sketches and photographs, and was immaculate in his methodology and procedural skills. Dr. Gabel's staff team members were competent in their skills, and were very personable every minute I spent with them. The pricing was reasonable for the service, when compared to the other hair restoration centers I studied, and all in all, I am fully pleased with the care I got from Dr. Gabel and his team. With my post-operative period going as expected without any complications, I look forward to enjoying the fruits of the procedure in 9-12 months from now! Vskp.
