Thanks Smoothy
I originally was set for Sept 13th, but when I arrived, I ended up talking to Dr. Shapiro for three hours about how to approach my hairloss. We eventually decided to go with 2000 or more the first time, and then another 2000 or more for the second one. So, the Dr. graciously made room on Oct. 7th for my first procedure. I would like to say that Dr. Shapiro is a human being first, and a doctor second. After meeting him in person, his reputation for being truly caring and understanding was certainly no lie. I was amazed that after doing thousands of HT's he was genuinely excited to perform mine, and enthusiastically prescribed a treatment program.
I am more sure of this than I have ever been in my life. I will update after I get back. Cheers!
