Now that I have been researching and reading reviews about doctors, I am even considering of consulting with Dr. Hasson and Wong, they seem to bring very good results. Flying to the other country is a little problem, but yes to get the job done right on my head, I seriously don't mind and the price looks reasonable as well. I would really appreciate if any of you experienced guys out there, could share your suggestions and what you think about my pictures, how many drafts would give a decent density, so that I could cover my bald spots.

Thanks Shaggy1, for your comment. I definitely will be consulting with Dr. Carman and a few other doctors mentioned above and Dr. Hasson & Wang. My appointment with Hair Club went okay, just wanted to get an idea what are the preparations before doing an HT and they said just reserve a room for HT whenever you are ready. I was under the impression that they would say the first step would be to take some medicines to stop the current hair fall for a few months and then do the HT, but instead they said they have an extreme hair therapy for 9 months after the HT.

LOL... I did see the pics posted on Dr. Hasson & Wong's website, and I must say their work is impressive. l will contact him and a few other docs before I decide whom to go with. Anyway, now that I have been proceeding with the research, and deciding how many grafts I want to implant and the doctor I will be going with and the money I will be spending for those many grafts, I get this question in my mind....Will it work, does the transplanted hair grow like my natural hair use to in my teenage or most of the transplanted hair fall off. Well I guess, this all comes to my mind because I am afraid if I would get my hair back for the money that I will be spending, and not that I am a rich fellow and have a lot of bank balance. But at the same time, I am excited to see hair back on my head and looking forward to it. Anyway, Thanks for your comment, dude. Ricky

Here's my story...... I have been suffering with hair loss for the last 10+ years. Everything was fine, until I colored my hair. I still regret that decision, but past is past and need to get HT done asap. I am excited about it and hence need to your guys help to find the right doctor. I would prefer a doctor in LA but would not mind doing it in San Diego. Tried Ayurveda medicines for a while and few others, but never took it seriously. This website provides a very good information about the HT and the surgeons and Pat thanks for the website. I have my first appointment with HC on 24th Sep. '13, about the hair and scalp analysis, and will provide you guys an update what they say and how it goes. I live in Madera, so visiting my local HT office to see what they have to say about my hair loss and what they recommend. Will post an update soon. While I have shortlisted 3 surgeons based on the reviews and are the best in CA, still would like a get a suggestion from you guys. 1. Dr. Timothy Carman 2. James DeYarman 3. William R. Rassman What would you guys suggest? Or any other better doctor that I should consider? I look forward for your suggestions. Thanks!

DV8, Thanks you sharing your pictures. Seeing your pictures makes me wonder, if I am a norwood 5A or less than 5A, my hair are not thick as yours but I do have a some hair left on my head. Looks for some shots of my head. And yes, that is what I am looking for, getting it done right in the first shot with the best doctor. Flying to another state would be a problem for me, as I work on the weekdays and difficult to decide without consulting with the doctor. I did read some good reviews about Dr. Carman, Deyarman and Rassman in CA, but still deciding on whom to go to, to do my HT. Difficult decision...

DV8, Infact, I had my first appointment today with Hair club and that's when I got to know as well that coloring my hair was not the reason of my hair fall. And thanks for sharing your story, feels great to hear a positive HT story. I was looking for a shot of your head before HT, couldn't find it , but your post HT photos looks good. Anyway, here's what happened in my first appointment with hair club. The lady mentioned I had enough hair in the back of my head to get the HT done. I was under the impression that she would be telling me, what I come under, in the norwood scale, instead she asked me to pick. I picked 5A or 6 which I think I come under. We came to a conclusion that if I do 2500-3500 grafts, I would have enough density and that I could cover my front, top and little in the crown area. The lady told me that the next step would be to get the room reserved for getting the HT done and pick a doctor you want to get the HT done from. There's one in San Francisco and 3 in LA area and she gave an estimate of 12-16k for 2600-3500 grafts. I had in my mind that they might put me on some medications for 2-3 months to stop my hair fall, but instead she mentioned I can do it whenever I decide to, no medications needed before, but after the HT, I will be on medication for 9 months...something monodi... . I want to get HT done in the next 2-3 months, but still waiting for some suggestions from you guys out there, to help me pick a surgeon in California. In the mean while I am still reading reviews about the surgeons online, wherever I can find and trying to talk to a few. I will post some of my head shots. If you guys could let me know what I should be expecting for 2500-3000 grafts. I look forward to hearing from yous guys. Cheers!!
