@Pyrat there are quite a few bad results from Dr. Bhatti and Dr. Cinik in this forum. 

Talk with @Egy that had a bad result with Dr. Cinik and check his results thread. 

You are mentioning low cost clinics that rely on young technicians to do the hair transplant (you get want you pay for).

I strongly recommend you to chose a Doctor that does the whole surgery himself and has patients posting great results.

My search lead me to Dr. Kaan Pekiner (2.15€/graft) and Dr. Bruno Ferreira (2.5€/graft at his clinic in Porto and he is also the Medical assistant of one the best FUE docs in the world Jose Lorenzo). 

Trust me you won’t find any doctors with great results that are doing the whole surgery with direct hair implantation or stick&place at a cheaper price.

Good luck!

@Pyrat, I wish you all the best. You seem to be on the right track. No sense in rushing. The more you research your HT Surgeon, the better decision you will be able to make. I just wanted to jump in here to set the record straight on one thing......the statement "low cost clinics that rely on young technicians to do the hair transplant" does NOT apply to Dr. Bhatti/ Darling Buds. Dr. Bhatti does all his procedures (pre-op consulting, anesthesia, extraction, slit making, plantation supervision etc.) himself. He has no franchise clinics, no junior doctors and/or technicians doing what the HT Surgeon should be doing.

All the best to you.

A patient needs to give their own consent for their personal information and images to be released publicly, NOT a forum moderator. Indeed Melvin even had to remind Dr Bhatti to "please make sure you remove the personal information first before posting", which only goes to show that Dr Bhatti did not take that patient's privacy into consideration.

While we could continue debating back and forth over the perceived virtues and vices of Dr Bhatti, I find such a task to be largely redundant. So instead I will return focus to the original question once again;

@Looking4HTInshallah I would strongly suggest you check the links I provided and go through all Dr Bhatti's patient postings before shortlisting him for "perfect results", as he clearly does not fit your criteria in anyway whatsoever. The other doctors I suggested (Pathomvanich and Laorwong) i believe would give you a far better chance at a great result, and if you had the finances I'd also look into H&W and Konior - both clinics with near perfect (if not perfect) records and a long history of professionalism and ethical conduct. Whatever you decide I wish you luck

Let's just agree to disagree. You have your mind made up and I do not have the time and energy to "convert" you. As mentioned before, I respect your opinion BUT we fully trust the HT Patients to do their due diligence and make educated decisions. As far as your "advise" goes.....all is can say is .......Thank you, Dr. PHIL

My issue was never about the precise details of what happened between your clinic and that patient, but rather how Dr Bhatti chose to conduct himself publicly. 

As Dr Bhatti was his doctor then releasing that gentleman’s personal information would be considered a breach of doctor patient confidentially. If your argument revolves around the issue of payment (or as you argue that the patient swindled the clinic) then ethically speaking I still do not see how Dr Bhatti’s actions are exempt from this; indeed such reasoning would suggest that any doctor unhappy with the settlement of their patient’s fees would be entitled to use a patient’s personal information against them publicly. 

Whatever the specifics of the case Dr Bhatti’s behaviour was entirely unprofessional and to date I have not seen any other doctor on this network behave in such a fashion.

As for your earlier response to this case I sadly must have missed it.

As mentioned before, we had taken the forum moderator into confidence and asked for permission before posting the Patient information. We have a lot of respect for HRN and it’s members. This is an excellent patient advocacy forum. But, we cannot be used as a punching bag by anyone and can’t watch passively while our hard earned reputation is attacked online. I urge you to reach out to Dr. Bhatti Patients and ask about him and his clinic. He never up-sells. Most of his patient discussions revolve around the conservative approach of not tapping into too much donor in one go and save for the future procedures. If making more money was our goal, then we would have started multiple franchise offices in India (like many other clinics). Dr. Bhatti has only one clinic for a reason- he wants to do all his procedures himself. He is a humble and down to earth person and very easy to talk to. He takes his Patients satisfaction very seriously. After all that, when he gets slandered online with “money accusations”, he is within his rights to defend his good name. You would do the same if you were him.

At the end of the day, you and I can write essays for and against Dr. Bhatti but it is the Patient's that have to do their own due diligence when choosing their HT Surgeon.

I wish you all the best.

I generally only comment on threads of those guys here that need help. If I somehow ended up commenting on a thread of Dr Bhatti it’s because the work is so terrible that it warranted attention. I have also never seen a doctor come online before, argue with a patient, and then post their personal information here publicly. 

You are free to go through all of my posts and count just how many guys I have tried to help here, and if you somehow think I still have a "mission" against your doctor then I would urge you to contact the moderator of this forum. I do however find it highly strange that rather than focus on the terrible results that your doctor routinely delivers that all you can do instead is focus on my "harsh" opinion - which I have now backed up with evidence. Other clinics simply DO NOT have such bad results posted - not in scale nor in frequency - which all makes them vastly superior choices to the doctor you represent.

The only remaining question in my mind is why do you or Dr Bhatti find such results acceptable (and it's not just the one but the many)???

You are welcome to your opinion. Again, Patients will have to do their own research and make their own decisions. This site itself has 181 pages of documented results from Dr. Bhatti Patients. You conveniently choose to overlook the hundreds and hundreds of satisfied Dr. Bhatti Patients (use the search button) and pick on 4 or 5 and then make the blanket statement, "because the work is so terrible and it warranted attention"! 

In regards to the one instance that you are referring to where the Patient information was posted on this website, we had the permission of the forum moderator to do that. They had checked with that Patient first. Again, you seem to be motivated to unearth any "skeleton" that you can find. Keep digging my friend. I wish you all the best!

I did a quick search for Dr. Bhatti to look up the latest posts from his past patients and this is what came up:

BTW....this came up just on the first page of the search. There are another 181 pages to go.....

So if I acknowledge the poor work of the doctor you represent and tell others they should consider other clinics instead I am being “very harsh”, but if I bother to provide links that support my opinion I must be on a “mission” to collect unhappy patients? That’s absurd. If you go through any of my posts you will find I constantly link guys cases that might help them out.

As for your responses to the cases Im left unimpressed (like trying to use Bill as an authority, or dismissing a case because it happened a few years ago, or blaming a bad result on a previous HT, etc) because in doing so you failed to acknowledge these are all consistent examples of Dr Bhatti's poor work, the scale and frequency of which you simply dont see coming out of other clinics.

So I am left only repeating the final statement of my last post - others can search through Dr Bhatti's results for themselves and make up their own minds.

"others can search through Dr Bhatti's results for themselves and make up their own minds." I couldn't agree with you more! 

Regarding my comment about your "mission", couldn't help noticing you showing up on the threads that have negative overtones about Dr. Bhatti. Again, picking up 4-5 cases out of thousands.......that sounds harsh to me. I did not say that Bill was an authority. But he did happen to run this site for many many years and did get recognition as someone who knows a thing or two about HT's......

I wish you all the best.

Since I’ve been on this network I have noticed that Dr Bhatti delivers utterly mediocre to outright terrible results with more consistency than other clinic here (with the fact that Dr Bhatti apparently does all the extractions and incisions himself meaning we can hold him personally responsible for the quality of the work). 

Looking4HTInshallah originally asked for someone who could “deliver perfect results” and I responded. Dr Bhatti does not even come close to this. So I do not believe I was being "very harsh" in my statement about Dr Bhatti's clinic, (especially in light of the links I provided) and I would never suggest him as a viable option when there are so many better and equally affordable clinics elsewhere. While you might disagree with me, others are free to search through his results and make up their own minds.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Wow!!! Seems that you have made it your "mission" to collect cases of "unhappy" Dr. Bhatti Patients! If you put Bhatti in the "search" field on this side, 181 pages of results show up. Out of those 181 pages (hundreds and hundreds of well documented Patient cases, you found 5 "unhappy patients". Well done! 

Case#1 Copy/pasting below the comments from Bill from the first case that you have referred to:

bulosity,

 To be completely honest, I have no idea what you are talking about. You are about four months into your hair transplant and the very first day you posted you said you weren’t happy with your “results“. You clearly don’t understand that hair transplant results take a year to 18 months to grow in doesn’t make a lot of sense. You’re also now talking about hair transplant removal when your newly transplanted hair probably is only just starting to grow in if yet at all. 

Truthfully, I really don’t know how anybody here can help you if you don’t listen to reason. Now, I don’t know what conversations you had with the doctor but I do agree that he should at least try to address your concerns and answer your questions. However, you do not have any results yet to discuss and there’s nothing he can really do to satisfy your concerns except to tell you to wait, be patient and in another 8 to 10 months or so, you should be very happy with your results.

 So, I strongly suggest that you stop worrying so much, stop talking about failures and results when you should be only just starting to see first signs of new growth from your transplant from a couple months ago. Sit back, be patient, and enjoy some warm weather activities depending on your location and wait it out like everybody else had to. 

Best,

Bill

Case #2: Melvin has forwarded the details for this Patient to Dr. Bhatti a few days ago and we are actively working on getting to the bottom of it. But then, you needed some ammo.......right?

Case #3: This Patient posted on this link in May 2018 and referred to an HT that he got done 4 years prior to that (May 2014). I did not see this Patient mentioning that Dr. Bhatti was his Surgeon (at least not at the link that you have posted above). 

Case #4: This Patient had an HT done in Malaysia prior to coming to Dr. Bhatti. He clearly claimed that his first HT was a failure. He also states in that thread that Dr. Bhatti agreed with him that the results were less than optimal and that he (Dr. Bhatti) would offer him a complimentary follow up procedure. What else was Dr. Bhatti supposed to do here? He is happy to work with the Patient. On the contrary, I had 2 HT procedures done in California and both were failures. The HT Clinic took zero responsibility. I lost my money and my precious grafts.

Case #5: Did you actually see this Patient's pre-op pics? Did you notice the sparse donor and the advanced level of baldness. One of the comments on that thread from Panamera13 sums it up properly....copy/pasting: 

Actually when you first posted your pic, I had the same question - Too much area to cover, not enough donor. It's not the doc's fault to be honest, it's supply and demand.

You had two choices - Either cover the front region with proper density and leave the midscalp and crown OR go over the entire area (which you chose).

If you grow your hair out it should still give you a better look than before. And if you use some hair fibers, it will give an even better look.

Best of luck!!

-------------------------------------------------------

No HT Surgeon in this world has a perfect result every single time. Dr. Bhatti has been doing HT's for 2 decades now. Out of thousands of cases, it should not be hard to pick on a few "not fully satisfied" Patients. I wish you good luck!

No clinic can deliver perfect results, but some are consistently great and ethical. The clinic you mentioned though routinely delivers terrible work (I can easily link you 3 results off the top of my head if you'd like) so I'm admittedly dumbfounded as to why you even have them shortlisted.

Maybe you could  provide more information as to what you are looking for i.e. your level of balding and desired goals, FUT or FUE, finances, geography etc?

"The clinic you mentioned though routinely delivers terrible work"

Transplantedphil, don't you think that that is a very harsh statement? Dr. Bhatti has Patient cases posted on this Forum itself from 2012 on wards.  I do agree with your statement that no clinic can deliver perfect results (I would add "all the time" to that statement). Hundreds of documented HT Patient cases over the last 10 years should be taken into consideration before "judging". Picking on "3 results" (out of thousands of cases) sounds unfair. I am "dumbfounded" that you are "dumbfounded" because this Patient shortlisted Dr. Bhatti for his HT procedure. I respect your opinion but wanted to share my opinion too.

Hi Inquisitive,

Just an FYI

At Dr. Bhatti/Darling Buds India Clinic, we publish our pricing on our website. We try to make it as transparent as possible. No ambiguity,. No confusion. No surprises. No other branches. No other doctors. Just a “one doctor show”......Dr. Bhatti.

After research, I am looking at FUE in India, Europe or Turkey with one of the recommended surgeons here. I was looking at Eugenix but now the price has increased and I am starting to rule them out.

1. How many transplants a day do they do at Eugenix? Seems a lot of clinics in different cities? How many transplants are Dr Bansal and/or Sethi themselves doing a day?

2. It seems choosing a surgeon is important and stressed heavily here. Eugenix is having a number of people post results and so it seems people are going to them. However Eugenix are very ambigous about who is doing their procedure and the level of involvement by surgeons/techicians. What are people's experiences? How involved are Dr Sethi/Bansal?

3. Why the large increase in price this year? (almost 2x for top package) Dr Bhatti's price is reduced for Indian summer. Their current prices are almost on par with some European and US surgeons. I understand a small increase is necessary with rising costs every year. However The top plan has gone from Rs 120 to 210 in the space of days - hard not to leave a sour taste!

4. Hard to find negative reviews on Eugenix at the moment but their results here seem to be from last 1-2 years only. Dr Bhatti and others have been putting results out for 5+ years. What are peoples thoughts on this?

5. Is it possible to claim the GST back if visiting India for the transplant? I know UK you can claim VAT back if you are a tourist.

I am not trying to be critical on Eugenix - just want to put them through the ringer before ruling them out or considering their significantly raised costs now!

Very happy to hear suggestions of other surgeons or if you think Eugenix is worth it.

Thanks

Hi Inquisitive,

I don't think that you can claim GST back (if visiting India) like you can in the UK. I am not a 100% sure on this but I have never heard of any visitor getting the GST back when leaving India.

You seem to be on the right track. I would highly encourage you to research as much as possible before selecting your HT Surgeon. This is one thing that you can't afford to mess up on. Cost is important but what sucks more is the loss of donor grafts (if results are not good). If you have any specific questions in regards to Darling Buds/Dr. Bhatti, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer your queries.

We wish you all the best.

Dr. Bhatti answered all of my questions (though in one word or one liners), but I wasn't expecting much more from email consultation. When I sent my new photos after haircut to him, he assessed them and increased the grafts from 2500 to range of 2800-3000. He has a discounted price in the summer months of April to June which in my opinion is unbeatable in India for a surgeon of his caliber. Personally, I don't judge the doctor if 2-3 bad cases pop up. What I will judge is how the doctor handled the case that went bad. Was he understanding and cooperative? Did he offer a free repair or refund? How did he communicate and how seriously did he take it? When you chose a HT technique, you as a patient also assume a certain risk. If you want to go the FUT route, there is no better value for money than Dr. Soni I would think.

Hi Indian_Canadian,

Please note that you have the option of connecting with Dr. Bhatti via Skype. That way, you can have a virtual face to face conversation with the Doctor and make sure that you get all your questions answered in detail. 

We wish you all the best.

Interesting topic. Reminded me of an older write up by Dr. Bhatti. Sharing here because of it's relevance:

My ABC of BHT:

BHT is presently my favorite field! 
Though FUT is undoubtedly the Gold Standard of surgical hair restoration and shall always remain so, FUE rose in popularity due mostly to the fact that it has opened the horizons to a limitless supply of grafts by expanding the traditional donor availability. The other advantages may be debateable but this has no opposition even from die-hard FUT surgeons. Thanks to FUE the patient base has markedly increased in size. Repair cases and cases with extensive balding which were shunned earlier, can again think of getting back a “head full of hair.”

I have a very different approach to a client with balding which I feel shall be progressive in the long term. I goad all patients with a long term plan for their progressive balding to allow me to harvest beard grafts (besides scalp grafts of course) for a better hairline definition and mid-scalp fill and keep their remaining scalp grafts as a rain check for future requirements especially in the crown.

For example, for a 25 year old with type 3 vertex pattern, I would plant scalp hair within the first 1.5 cm along the hairline, mix scalp grafts with beard grafts in a laid down optimal ratio till the highest point of the head. For the crown area I would encourage him to accept a low density preferably with chest grafts or chest grafts with a sprinkling of scalp grafts. I never use beard hair for the crown area. It is only to be used for the mid-scalp and just behind the hairline.

For me and my patients “only ABC is GOOD!” : I am not fond of using any hair other than beard, chest and axilla (in this order of preference) since leg, arm, belly hair, in my experience, take a long time to grow if at all. 
(A- Axilla, B- Beard, C-Chest). In darker racial group I do not venture outside the ‘shadow area’ of the beard which lies on and behind the jawline and above the Adam’s apple due to the possible risk of visible scarring). 

Given the fact that in a second session, you can harvest usually half the number of grafts again after a gap of 6 months, realization shall dawn upon you that an average patient (except East Asian) has a large donor area just waiting to be harvested. This realization is fast becoming the game changer today in the field of surgical hair restoration. As you read my thoughts on BHT, more and more clinics the world over are busy honing their skills to harvest more and more body grafts with lesser and lesser transection rates. Time is also of the essence and therefore the growing demand for motorized systems, especially the Safe Scribe which is simple, safe and efficient.

Body hair, mostly alone, has been routinely used at my clinic for the following indications-

1. Hair transplant cripples
2. Extensive baldness with a poor donor area of the scalp and,
3. Camouflaging wide FUT scars. 
You can see some of my cases later where almost exclusive BHT was done for want of healthy scalp grafts. This is slowly becoming my core competence area.
I am wedded to the Harris Safe Scribe System since 2010. It works very well for me even for BHT. With a surgical background I am more comfortable working with motorized systems than manual instrumentation. I use the manual punch only for areas like legs, arms etc.- areas I am not very fond of doing since this hair in my experience does not grow to the full satisfaction of my clients and myself. I use the following punches for BHT- 0.7 mm customized sharp punch for beard grafts harvest when there are mostly singles and if 2-3 I may use a 0.8 mm punch
If there be any questions you may have for me, I would be pleased to answer to the best of my ability. 

Hi ndubya,

The good news is that the ugly duckling phase won't last long. The grafts might go but will surely come back soon, in full force and then stay! Shelly's famous poem comes to mind, "If Winter Comes Can Spring Be Far Behind"

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,

California

Hi Warmachine, 

I agree with Melvin's advise. Past, posted results would be a good gauge of the HT Surgeons work. I also suggest researching as much as possible. This is a very crucial decision and not something that you can afford to mess up on. We have a finite number of grafts on our head and those have to be carefully utilized. Cost is important but should not be treated as the first factor. 

We wish you all the best.

I wish the OP all the best, and hope he has a great result (and also see no reason why he wouldn't).

 

I'm not going to further derail OPs thread and don't think he should be concerned but will say though,  this statement should be addressed, as it's completely untrue. I understand you're a rep and it's your job to promote but that shouldn't extend to falsehoods and is a diservice. Im also not implying that a bad result means a bad doctor, I don't think theres been one clinic or doctor where a person hasn't post about being dissatisfied with results. And that goes for the absolute top/elite  surgeons. But I'm aware of several dissatisfied former patients who have posted including myself. 

 

 

Keysersoze, are you serious? You say that "my statement should be addressed as it's completely untrue". What is untrue and what is a falsehood and disservice? You copy/paste comments that I made on September 7, 2014 and without even attempting to understand the context, pass a judgement. You are the prosecutor, the judge and the jury! Those comments from 5 years ago were made specifically to point at a thread that I had included in that post. That thread was in regards to Dr. Bhatti's recommendation on HRN. I had referred only to the Patients that had posted on that particular thread. I never implied that Dr. Bhatti' has never had an dissatisfied Patients. That is just not possible for Dr. Bhatti and/or any HT Surgeon anywhere in the world.  My statement does not need to be addressed. It is actually your statement that needs to be addressed. Don't you think?

No bro.

I assumed from Dr Bhatti's behaviour his business was in trouble (coming online attacking patients, he mentioned something about "clinics with their backs against the wall" in another thread etc) so believed he coordinated an effort to get fake people to come here and ask for recommendations, get former patients to post and repost and repost his more successful results, and get his reps to return to the forum all in attempt to drum up business. I know I know Im such a conspiracy theorist haha!

I used to work in film actually and read scripts all the time, so I was used to reading bad or forced ones  I am PREPOSTEROUS!

 

So, I guessed right.....you used to work in films and read scripts. See, I solved that mystery For the record, Dr. Bhatti's business is doing great. We are fully booked for the next so many months and that has been the case for years now. Thank God and thank our Patients for that. As mentioned before, Dr. Bhatti rarely posts on this forum but when someone attacks his integrity, he does have the right to defend himself. That topic has been beaten to death already and the thread locked up by Melvin. The "clinics with their backs against the wall" comment was not for our Clinic but for those folks who would stoop to any level to get business. Dr. Bhatti's Patient's know what kind of a person he is. A few years ago when I met him in San Francisco, I asked him why he wasn't getting onto the franchise bandwagon and opening franchise clinics in Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi. His response was, "I live in Chandigarh. My Clinic is in Chandigarh. I take care of all of my Patients myself. If I open up franchise clinics, I will have to have other doctors do the procedures and I won't be able to guarantee the work. My reputation means the world to me". Honest truth. No conspiracy

Yes sorry California and Mathur. I commented here “uninvited” because I assumed this was an advertisement. I based this on a few reasons - 

1. the multiple threads all created at the same time on the same day by Dr Bhatti's patients (even some by the same user such as barberman1986) 
2. Mathur mentions for no apparent reason that he "went to US on a 2 year attachment with the IT company headquarters at Silicone Valley" and as it turns out lived near the clinic rep of Dr Bhatti. As he is currently in India I thought it sounded scripted. I am sorry for my misreading of this. 

As for me being a paid shrill .. I WISH someone would pay me to be here. I chose to forego a free touch up with that “eminent HR surgeon in Belgium” and go into debt for my current repairs, and so am currently stuck working horrible online jobs. I come here during my breaks to help other patients and support doctors I believe do good work as I do not want anyone going through what I went through. This also means I challenge those that I think don’t do good work or I do not believe are genuine.  

I hope OP has a successful operation in time for his wedding next year! Good luck sir.

Wow.....transplantedphil....wow......what an imagination! Shouldn't you be writing scripts for some detective movies? What a "connection" you made! What a mystery you solved!. Sherlock Holmes must be turning and tossing in his grave!!!

Let's analyze your thought process.......Mathur knows California and wants to help advertise Darling Buds/Dr. Bhatti's Clinic. He posts on this forum asking for recommendations for a Clinic in North India. Ahmedabad_guy responds to the posts and mentions 2 clinics to Mathur, one of them being Dr. Bhatti's. (BTW, you forgot to assign a role/character to Ahmedabad_guy....is he connected to Dr. Bhatti too?).....then barberman1986 (who BTW has been documenting his HT journey on this forum since May 2018, joins in this "advertising conspiracy" all the way from UK and recommends Dr. Bhatti's Clinic. Mathur cleverly throws in the nugget of information that he was working in Silicon Valley. California latches on to that information and starts a conversation since he happens to be based in that part of the world too.......What a clever "advertising" scheme......all the way from India to UK to California.......

Wow....talk about conspiracy theories! And you call it "scripted"? Man......your imagination sure runs wild! 

On a serious note.....are you serious? Do YOU even believe what you are suggesting? The word PREPOSTEROUS comes into mind........

Thanks,

Sorry California, it just seems like the two prominent Indian clinics here are constantly posting or being recommended in the same thread in many posts as of late. Also, threads from like 3+ years ago are being bumped by the doctor when the patient hasn’t even logged into the site for years. Just looks like weird behavior. Anyway, back on topic to the OPs questions.

jj51702, I can assure you that it must have been a coincidence. I have not been active on this forum for months because of some personal reasons. Thank you for your response. 

All the best.

California

For some reason, as soon as some folks on this forum see "Darling Buds/Dr. Bhatti" being mentioned, they feel obligated to jump in (uninvited) on those threads to post their offensive comments. "Cash Grab"......."Bhatti hair restoration network".......not sure what their real agenda is....? 

The Patient originating this thread asked for recommendations for an HT Clinic based in North India that does FUE. He was pointed to Dr. Bhatti's Clinic and another Clinic by a user on this Forum. After that a Dr. Bhatti past Patient chimed in with his recommendation. The Patient said that he was living in Silicon Valley, California. I reached out asking if he was still based in the Silicon Valley and if yes, I could meet up with him in person. He responded saying that he was back in Indian now and would be visiting the San Francisco Bay Area in December and would like to meet with me for sure. Dr. Bhatti (who rarely posts on this Forum) advised this Patient to get on propecia. All I see is a friendly and amicable communication between this Patient and our Clinic. Why these folks (who have nothing to do with this Patient and/or our Clinic) have to be rude and discourteous, is baffling.

Nice result. Does this doctor visit Delhi? I would like to consult with him. Do you think he has a state of the art facility and does safe procedures? I have just sent him my pictures.

Hi Thornbush,

Dr. Bhatti is based in Mohali (Chandigarh), which as you would know, is very close to Delhi. He does do Patient consultations in other locations (within Indian and outside of India). I am sure that he guide you since you have already reached out to him.

Regarding the facility, the the Clinic is located inside the new 5-Rivers hospital, the first ever plastic surgery only hospital in India. A big percentage of Dr. Bhatti's Patients come from the Western countries and their feedback has indicated that they found the facilities, hygiene, quality control etc. at Darling Buds at par (and at times better) with any comparable HT Clinic in the West. I would highly encourage you to visit the Clinic and see for yourself.
