I can't tell you who is best or which Doc to choose, but I know I've chosen Dr. Ron Shapiro and SMG for my own transplant in the coming months. I'm a mid 40's guy whose an early Norwood 6-- been that way for many years. I have no hairline at all-- just a small tuff in the center of my forehead. So I feel the risk of surgery is worth it to re-establish a hairline and frontal 1/3 presence of hair. I've done a lot of research and there is no one in my view that provides consistent quality results. SMG has the people, the skills, the experienced team of techs, and the man himself who essentially wrote the book on hair transplants. Dr. Shapiro also has a worldwide reputation. Not only for his quality work but as a caring, compassionate man with a great "bedside manner" Dr. Ron Shapiro is the man other docs go to to have their own work done. I can't speak for others, but the above is the guy I want working on my scalp. Every patient is different and the variables with regards to donor hair, coverage, skin types, healing, etc. are just to numerous to quantify and come up with a definitive answer as to who is best for YOU. All I know is that I've chosen Dr. Shapiro because I feel he and his group are the BEST in the world at what they do. After years of researching this topic and searching the net, listening to stories, etc. I've found nothing that negates this view. I think my goals and expectations are very much in line with what Dr. Shapiro can provide. As a result, I'm confident of a successful outcome. Hal
