Dr. Marla Rosenberg in Yorkville is a good start. She is an associate of Dr. Unger and her techniques and facility/staff are all leading edge. Good luck with your search. MCG

Vey good work Dr. R. ;-) The combination of meds/early intervention and strategic hair placement has done wonders for this patient. MCG

Hi RC, Thanks for the encouraging words! I should also add that sometime in the last 10 years I also added a regimen of Propecia, 5% Minoxidil, Nizoral 2%, Biotin & MSM. I think that the addition of meds, supps and advanced hair transplant procedures have reversed my hairloss. I acutually have a better hairline and overall hair now then in my early twenties. This is very rewarding for me as I was teased by an uncle about going bald ever since I was 17/18... :-( We are very fortunate to have these options and treatments available to us nowadays. And yes, Dr Rosenberg does really great work! Very underrated on these boards/forums in my opinion. She has told me in the past that she has to get better at posting pics that are more reflective of the quality of her work. MCG

Hi Everyone, I think I posted my update in the wrong section. Please check out my 8 month update pics in the Hair Transplant Surgeon Reviews and Experiences section under the Dr. Unger thread (10/15/11 post). Any feedback or comments would be welcome. Regards, MCG

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to update my HT progess. I had my last 2 procedures with Dr. Marla Rosenberg (associate of Dr. Unger) and I'm at the approximately 8th month stage. First pic is 3 years ago at about a Norwood 3. I've had two procedures (2,075 & 1,200 FUT) since. I had my 1st transplant (330 grafts?) approximately 14 years ago with Bosley clinic. Big improvements in hair transplant procedures since then. Second picture is seven months from my first procedure with Dr. Rosenberg (2,075 FUT) and last 3 pics are from August/September 2011 (8 months after second surgery with Rosenberg - 1,200 FUT for hairline), so I still have about 4+ months of maturity and growth I think. Any comments or questions would be welcome. MCG

LSorvats, Just noticed the second part of your query. I've only met and dealt with Dr. Rosenberg. I've never met Unger or any of his other associates so I can only speak to the skills of Dr. Rosenberg and the quality of her support staff and clinic. I found all these to be top notch. I hope this is helpful. MCG

LSorvats, Thanks for the positive response. Those pics were taken the DAY of the procedure, sometime late in the afternoon. Approximately 2-3 hours after everyhting was finished I think. My bandage came off when I was sleeping (no lol), that night as I ignored instructions and did not take a sleeping pill (restless sleeper). Luckily no grafts were dislodged. MCG

TakingThe Plunge, Thanks for the encouragement. Like I said, I have a fairly large area to cover so one procedure was not quite enough, even though I think I was only a Norwood 3? Even so, HT in general have come so far since I had my first in '97. Now I look at it like fixing your teeth; there generally is no great unknown regarding the final result although the quality of the surgeons and clinics still vary. I'm also keeping up a long time commitment to Propecia, 5% Minoxidil and supplements such as MSM, Biotin & Selenium. I'm hoping this procedure will finally help me accomplish my hair regrowth goals. MCG

DD/LSorvats Attached are 2 pics of my 1200 FUT procedure done last week. I have a pretty big head lol but I think this provided enough coverage to shore up my hairline and meet my goals. As I mentioned, healing nicely with no complications thus far. Any comments are welcome. MCG

DD, After visiting a few other clinics in T.O. (including one infamous one), I visited Dr. Shapiro on Yorkville Avenue. Dr Shapiro is an associate of Dr. Unger and i think she's been doing doing transplants for approximately 10 - 12 years? I liked the fact that I was talking to a doctor, not a salesman. She was very attentive and in our first consultation she drew a hairline on my scalp that was reasonable and achieveable. I felt confident in her abilities and she admitted that her site needs to be redone and her pics on the site do not reflect the true quality of her work. I had previously done a transplant with Bosley in Toronto back in '97. 300 grafts fro my receding hairline and ultimately I was dissapointed in the result that I achieved. I did 2,070 (FUT) with Dr. Rosenberg in September 2009 and just recently 1,200 (FUT) this month for further hairline refinement. I started out as a Norwood 3 and Dr. Rosenberg concentrated the majority of my grafts in the forelock area (which I fought because I wanted it all in the hairline) but the results were very good. She also fixed the scar form the previous Bosley procedure and it healed very well. Long post I know but I'm at work but I have some pics at home that I will post later tonight. All in all I visited 4-5 clinics (not including Dr. Cam Simmons - although judging by pics his work is excellent), and I found Dr. Rosenberg and her staff to be very exceptional. It's been 8 days since my "touch up" procedure and things are healing well as I'm already back at work and know one has noticed. I also know their clinic has a solid reputation and they've done quite a few well known people in various media, entertainment circles etc. Post pics later. MCG

LSorvats, I've had 2 procedures with Dr. Unger's associate Dr. Marla Rosenberg. I visited other well known clinics in the T.O. area and I had one previous transplant with Bosley (dissapointing). I can assure you that based on my experience with Dr. Rosenberg, their office is one of the best in Toronto. Their techniques, staff and equipment is all leading edge. Isn't Dr. Rosenberg recommended on this site? Dr. Unger is not an unknown in this industry.
