How are some doctors approved by this forum? I mean do they pay for sponsorship that much to be recommended here?

There seems to be a little info., on this doctor. I was wondering the same, if there has been any members that went to him for HT.

This picture is from a Website, it was 3500 grafts. Is the donor area destroyed? Or what's your opinion about this picture? I ask, as I'm trying to get as many opinions based on these pictures before deciding on a clinic, Thanks for reading!

Stay away from Diep, he knows how to talk, but when things go wrong, he is MIA. Had a procedure done with him, from the first few months I had issues, and he would just give me the BS., and asked for 9k to fix his F up.

Its all about $$$$ With Diep, yep believe me! I have been suffering a hack job for few years now, wearing a hat all the time, and ashamed of going out, or to a place that i cant wear a hat, weddings, church and so on.

Any reviews, or info., on this Doctor based in Santa Monica, California? Thanks!

Looks good, but if you cut your hair short, then your density will not be as good. I too had a procedure done with this Doctor, and I got horrible results, poor planing, not enough grafts, and $11 an hour technicians working on my head.

Any feedback on this?

I WOULD PAY THE CANCELLATION FEE, AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. TRUST ME!!! YES, i'm sure some have had good experience with this doctor, but A LOT of people got screwed by him, and he DOES NOT stand behind his work. I wish i had done my research prior to the procedure. You can click on my past posts and read what happened, and also READ his other reviews on YELP.COM Google, and ALSO http://WWW.REALSELF.COM I will make another post today, and i will include more details and more.

Shut happens I guess. But yes, it seems like there is a pattern with this Doc., where he doesn't care about his custy if something goes wrong. Funny thing is, when I went in for the consultation, he told me I needed 1000 graft, I insisted that I wanted 1200, and during the surgery, I paid more so they would not throw away the grafts, which totaled to be 1400+ supposedly. Good luck!

Good thing you have good results, if not, then he would just treat you like he did with me and all the other patients. I only wish I had done more research before going to him. Now, you can read all the horror stories by individuals like myself that got screwed on, Yelp, Google, and Mostly on Realself.com

RUNNN. I had a procedure done by him in 2012. Had two under paid workers $11 an hour, do the work, during the procedure he checked up on me 2 times. Immediately after the procedure, I noticed that one side was way more different from the other side, two different workers, two different results. Anyway, 9 months to a year after that, the results were not good AT ALL, do not believe his YouTube videos and pictures he takes in certain angles. So, I after a year, I made an appointment with him, I was very disappointed. So, he told me that I needed additional 200 to 300 graft, to fix their mistake, and it would cost me 3 thousand dollars. The worst mistake I ever made, been wearing a cap everywhere I go. Oh ya, I posted pictures of the results a year and half after the procedure, and almost everyone on this forum said, that it was a bad job. That I would need another 1000 or more grafts, yet the doctor claimed I needed 200 to 300, and it would cost 3000 more... I'm sure some people had good results, but if you google, and search online, you will see A LOT of people had bad experience, and he does not care once he has your $$$ if you click on my profile and look up the two posts, with pictures.

Thank you for your offer! as you can read from my first post almost two years ago, i had this issue from the start, i just did not feel that it was the right thing to do by naming the Doctor in a public forum. Also, it is not the right thing for him to do by trying to charge me another 3k to fix the issue. I will PM. you the details and hopefully a you can help me, Once again Thank you!!

Short or long hair, it looks horrible in person. Especially the right side, this was my initial complaint on my first post, second and this time.

I wish i had photos of before, but i don't. The pictures from my first post are the ones i have, right after the HT and till this day, my ONLY concern was the difference in the right temple and left. Believe me, it looks a lot worse in person, and it is noticeable. This is why i wear a cap all day, couple of my friends were going to get their HT done at this clinic, but decided not to after they saw my results. Not saying the Doc. or clinic are not trustworthy, or do not know what they are doing, but my experience was simply bad. Thanks again for all your opinions!

The pictures from my initial post, which proves i has a concern about my right side being different than my left side. My hair was long at that time, and i'm sure if i let my hair grow for next few months and post pics, it will be the same as my pictures from the first post. I understand that i need more grafts, and i understand that i may have lost native hair. But, lets not forget that i use my native hair when letting my hair grow to cover the HT site, and even then the right side looks horrible, and as it did 6-9 months post operation. I will pay 4/5 thousand dollars to get it fixed, but i will not pay it to someone that has $11 an hour tech's doing the work, and when a patient has a concern the Doc., says "Oh, i can fix that for additional 3k) I myself have a business, and i know how things work. Even now i do not mention the Doctors name, as i know he does good work, which is obvious from all his youtube videos, and i accept the fact that i got poor results, and i firmly believe that is because two different ppl worked on me. If my right side looked as good as my left side, three years ago, two years ago, and even today, then i would be more then happy. Thank you all for your input, i really appreciate it!

Yes procedure happened just as you described, to give credit to the Doctor, he did come in couple of times and asked if everything was okay? My only concern, since day one has been that the right side looked no where near left side, and i firmly believe that is because of two sets of hands working on me. It also irritates me that an underpaid $11 an hour person was doing the work, when on youtube the doctor says in his videos that he is the one doing all the procedures.

Hi, you are correct its been almost 3 years. As for the Grafts, I was told by the doctor that i need 800-1000, but i insisted on 1200. At the start of the procedure, a staff member asked me if i was willing to pay $400 more, so that if there are more grafts then 1200 in the strip, they would just simply plug them in instead of throwing them away. So i figured why not, ill pay the 400 so they do not throw them away, this way i will get all of the grafts that are in the strip. That being said, i was told that i received couple hundred more grafts, when asked how many? 1350-1450 was the reply. So, my first post i wrote 1450, this time 1350 and honestly i do not know the exact amount that was put in. Also, the pics from the first post my hair was long at that time. What i have to do is, bring the hair from the back area to cover up the section of the HT.I posted these pics when i cut my hair short, eighter way, long hair or short hair it looked bad from the start and it looks bad now, and the Dod's., reply was i can fix it for 3k. From the start it showed that one side is a lot worse then other side. My concern, and it was mentioned first is the results, the two different results. my right side always had more than my left side. Believe me, i am not looking to get a refund or anything for free. I posted to get all your guys opinions and i appreciate everyone of them. I do know that i need a lot more grafts, its just concerns me to get another surgery and get bad results again.

Same, after reading so many posts and articles which mention that the full growth happens around 1 year to 1.5 years, i finally decided to post this.

Honestly, I'm not looking to get things for free. I have ALWAYS pride myself with earning what i have since i was a kid. I brought up this issue not once, but twice to the Doc., and his response was the same, (You need more grafts, i can fix it for $3k) I don't mind paying the 3k , but My concern/question is, will you the Doctor be the one that will perform the procedure, or two other underpaid technicians? Please note, that I'm not here to bash anyone or cause issues, but if a prospect is reading this, and wants to know who the Doc., is, then PM me and i will gladly say.

Hi, Thank you for the reply. Yes. He is! After visiting two more times, bringing up the issue to him, his response was, "Oh i can fix that, just going to be another $3k) What annoys me most is two results, each side looks different, and I am certain that is because of two underpaid technicians, if that is what they are called were working on me.

is wrong. What i mean by that is, the areas which i had the procedure done do not look full or anywhere near natural look. I had 1350 Grafts with the FUT procedure, done. Here are the pics, please give me your honest, humble opinion as to how many grafts this is, and what you think of the results. One side has more hair then the other, and i think that is because the office had two different people working on it. One thing that upset me is that, i really thought the doctor WAS going the be the one doing the procedure and not some random person, which later i found out that they get paid only $11 per hour. Thanks for reading.

Hi all, I'm a new member here I just found this site. I wish I had found it a long time ago. Here is my story, Thank you. I had my procedure done on March 1st. Here are couple of pictures to show the results so far. With all fairness to the DR. I will not mention his name or his office, why? Because, First I like to make an appointment with him again this month and see what he has to say about the results. I just like to get some of your guys opinion, and what would be the best thing to say to the Dr.
