Alright people, for those of you who I offended, I am sorry. I have an opinion and this is a free country. I never said ANYTHING directly about an individual person or a group of people or that someone was wrong for doing certain things. MY POINT WAS that THOSE TYPE OF PROCEDURES PERSONALLY CREEP ME OUT and make me feel uncomfortable and ME PERSONALLY would not go to a Doctor who performs those types of procedures because there is a HIGH chance that they will not give me a conservative opinion on anything as they perform in what I believe are non-conservative and (bizarre to me) surgeries.
As someone else stated, I did not mark Jeffrey Epstein off my list soley because of this. I decided not to continue to talk to him because his consultation did not give me a good feeling that he had my best interest in mind. I felt pressured and after doing more research, I felt like he told me many things that were untrue or unatttainable for me. I found 2 cases on this forum that also hit it home and I can see why it happened. There was a guy on here called used and abused and he had a horrible result from Epstein and that pretty much closed the books for me.
Everyones hair is different and this is a lifelong decision. Epstein was ready to schedule a surgery date with me after the consultation when I thought he didn't have really any information about me personally or gather enough information about my hair or physical background. He didn't ask me anything about my propecia and rogaine regimen, how I thought it was working, how much hair was I currently losing, my physical activities, if I did have a surgery was I prepared to handle the downtime. He didn't even ask what I did for a living! I think all of this is very important to evaluate as a who is a good candidate. He just made me feel uncomfortable, a little arrogant, and now that I think about it CREEPED ME OUT.
We just sat in a small dim room with a makeup mirror on the table and a book with a bunch of blurry before and after pictures. It was like I was back in the 80s. Its 2011, and I have heard of doctors having big computer screen with charts and pictures and explanations on various scenarios, full mirrors so you can see yourself.
Anyway, I wanted to avoid going into detail about that but, that is why I didn't choose him, so there you have it. I didn't feel so strongly about it or notice all those things until I saw Bauman, and it was night and day...he really made me realize all the things I just wrote be seeing how much more caring and professional he was.
