If you are looking for hairline work then you really need to consider Dr Rahal...I think he is generally considered the best with hairlines..I am like you, I had a lot of consults, ALL with coalition Drs, dont ever waste your time with another doctor thats not recomended on this site! Anyway, after about seven consults I decided to go wih Dr Rahal! I will be having surgery in January 2012. I live in Arkansas so as you can see I didnt let travel affect my decision, as well as you shouldnt. Continue to do your research, when you find the right doctor you will know!
Good Luck on your journey!
Oh yea...FUE VS FUT?? thats a tough one..in my case its easy..FUT..I think the graft survival rate and growth are much better..also, its a lot cheaper than FUE..
