Broker & Lucky7,
I get my pacycheck from the ariline I fly for, so I really don't have any interest in posting here other than sharing my experience with you guys. Besides, I can't be blogging all the time, but I wanted to tell you my experience. I agree that you should talk to the doctor who is going to be doing the procedure for you.
I went to my doctor after talking to my friend, who had an amazing experience and result from him, so I already felt comfortable with his work. When I went to Dr. Barusco's office for the initial consultation, I met with a previous patient who took me through an educational presentation, not a medical consultation and for sure not a sales pitch. He never recommended that I did or did not do anything.
Doctor Barusco came in after the presentation and spent almost 45 minuts with me, examining my scalp, discussing what I wanted and educating me on my options and expectations. That made me feel really comfortable with him and his staff.
Good luck on your research.
