Hey everyone, fist time poster! However, I've been reading this site for a long time. So a preliminary thank you to all for your posts b/c without the information presented here I wouldn't have found Dr. Charles and could have ended up with a much more regrettable experience.
Anyways, Dr. Charles was amazing. From my first few inquiries w/ his patient educator, Alexia, I knew this office was going to give me the personal attention I wanted when making this decision. They separated themselves from many other top clinics, in my opinion, with their prompt followup and professionalism. I figured if they give me this much time before I've spent a dime, I can expect great care during and post surgery.
I couldn't have been more right!
Surgery went off without a hitch (1-7-10). I've healed really quickly and got to spend a solid week in Boca Raton.
Dr. Charles is full of energy and you can tell he takes tremendous pride in his work. I got my hair washed the next day then went in the day before I flew out for a final inspection and ended up talking w/ him for 30 minutes. Since then I had my sutures removed last Friday (1-15-10) and have gotten follow up calls from the office to check on my progress.
All in all, they exceeded my expectations! I'll be posting some pics and setting up a blog w/ more details about graft count, etc.
Just wanted to put it out there for anyone trying to decide, "should I or shouldn't I?" I debated a long time and finally went for it and am anxious to see the results.
