I had a transplant at Virginia Surgical in November 2012. 3000 grafts with FUT ($2.5 per graft) and 500 FUE grafts ($3 per graft.) Total of $9,000.
These are the results. Photo on the right is after 10.5 months.
Has anyone else had experience with this clinic? Has anyone else on here had an experience with a failed transplant? Is it possible this failure is somehow a result of my genetics and not the skills of Virginia Surgical?
Virginia Surgical is owned by Linda Carnazza, who is not a doctor. She runs the clinic with her daughter, Danielle Mctyre, also not a doctor. They hire doctors on a per procedure basis. My procedure was done by Dr. Beth Jordan. Note that Dr. Jordan is not a dermatologist or a surgeon and she does not do transplants full time. These are all red flags that I should have picked up on.
I think these results are so poor, I should get a complete refund. Linda has refused to refund any money. To her credit, she has offered to have Dr. Jordan and team do a 2nd procedure, free of charge. I’m not sure this is a good option though. There is a limited amount of donor hair and I’m afraid to take a chance with them. I don’t know what Dr. Jordan has to say about any of this, as she has not returned any of my phone calls since the surgery. What do you all think? I feel like I paid $9,000 for a scar.
Linda and Danielle have both told me recently that my hair “looks great” and is “right on track.”
