ditto for me as well as its confusing & frustrating

I can see what you all are saying. But I am looking for a good doctor somewhere out here on the west coast and am willing to travel from southern california to oregon to find the best doctor. I see a lot of advertisements, ie Bosley (he comes to mind because of advertisements). But the one problem I have is the doctor (2 of them) I have visited send out a medical "representative" to talk to me. Why can't the doctor take the time to do that and answer my questions directly. I admit I haven't spent the quality time on this yet and have just gone to get some basic information thinking I would get it from the first. Not so! Can I get a recommendaton on a few doctors here in CA and OR that I can meet with the doctor directly? My goal: to have completed my hair restoration by December 31, 2011!!!!!

I would also like to hear more about Dr. Sword in LA as I was also considering him!

I am new to this treatment and need advice as to how to begin, how to select the best surgeon and exactly what does this treatment do, risks, life-long care, etc.:confused: I have spent some time looking at different options and came across this website over the holidays. Now I want to get serious, do my research. Any suggestions? I am open to going where I need to and would like to possibly interview either by phone direct meetings with the doctors. My only criteria is to actually meet with the doctor and see what the doctor is all about....Any thoughts?

I am curious about medication allergies. For example, I am allergic to pencillin. Is that a problem for infections that may happen? What is the most prescribed medication to combat infections incurred by this type of surgery? Do I need to worry about this?

Hey, that's one of the reasons I came to this site...was to see what was being said about doctors so I can choose the one I feel is the right one for me...I haven't seen a doctor yet, just doing my research and learning since this tends to be expensive..any thoughts for me?
