I forgot to add, after Dr. Bernstein left N.H.I., I decided to complain about Dr. Badamo (since fired from N.H.I. I believe) to Dr. Rassman in California as my wife & I were going to be in LA for another reason. Basically, Dr. Rassman couldn't be taken seriously and just joked & joked with me and gave my hair/scalp a view and said I had almost no miniturization. When I kept pointing him back to being serious about the hair direction, transplanted by Dr. Badamo, he agreed to give me a 10% discount on future transplants, but stressed, "if I needed one". Again, my point here is I'm not making this stuff up, but can't back it up with photos on this board.

I think in many cases, after having a hair transplant, the patient sits back for some time (I know I did) and after complaining to the doctor about being unsatisfied, is told things like "don't worry, time will take away the pits at your placement sites" or "we have some things here in the office we can use to help with the healing process" and the next thing you know, it's a year or two gone by. Then the doctor drops all offers of support and the patient who's been "burned" doesn't have much other than words to back up their disappointment with the doctor. I've had some transplants. 1 with Robert Bernstein was the best ever and did a lot to cover up the bad transplant I had before that. It doesn't change that the 1st transplant was terrible!!!!! Do I have photos to document my 1st transplant? No. After Bernstein, I had another with Francis Badamo. He was hired by N.H. I. (Bernstein/Rassman) and after being promised by staff that Dr. Bernstein would oversee this procedure, he wasn't there that day. Result? Badamo had some difficulty with placement direction of the hair. What was I told would help this? Start plucking. I've plucked and plucked and plucked and they continue to grow. The plucking plan was offered as they will come bak thinner and thinner, then not at all. Never happened. My last transplant with Dr. Robert Haber was where I got all the pitting at the placement areas. It's next to impossible to show in photos, due to the Dr. Bernstein Transplant still holding up the "masking". Dr. Haber is the doctor who made the comments in my 1st paragraph and then after the healing/pitting never changed told me "it's caused from you getting transplanted so much" and the procedures that would remove the pitting (lasers/injections) would not work (lasers) and were only temporary (injections). It was a very different attitude than a few months earlier and a whole new agenda for the doctor. Can I prove this to this message board with photos, dates, etc.? Not most of it, but my point here is many folks who have inferior transplants are in the same boat.
