Hey Olmert,
Actually I tend to diss agree with your opinion, various factors for that
1) Dr Bhatti is very highly recommended by a lot of autonomous agencies & forums such as IAHRS, Hairsite,ISHRA, American Hair Loss association, Baldtruth.com, HairTransplant Consultancy Group & many others as well. Are you telling me that all these associations & bodies are cukkoo to recommend Dr Bhatti & we should only give value to this sites recommendation?
2) I think Bill himself made it very clear, the reason Dr Bhatti is not being recommended is due to the way he is pushing & perhaps even marketing FUE vs other Doctors out there who push forward FUE as well as FUT. Maybe some truth in this, but that does not mean that his work should not be appreciated or acknowledged & his work on patients should not be overlooked, just cause this site does not recommend him.
3) By the way some of the Doctors recommended here especially from India if you notice, have half the nos of real time patient experience feedbacks coming in for their doctors vs Dr Bhatti's where patients are by themselves coming to this forum & sharing their experiences both good & bad. While some of their FUE transplant charges are as expensive as Dr Rahal based in canada operating from a very expensive country (please investigate the prices yourselves). The pricing being quoted does not make sense & I think this is where Dr Bhatti has been smart/logical in his pricing.
4) Look at Shane13's own experience, he has shared with us both the good & bad of his surgery with Dr Bhatti, his story has really been motivating.
At the end of day, personally I feel Dr Bhatti is great doctor, based on his credentials, recommendations, patient feedbacks so far received & I am not going to base my decision just on this site or a few competing doctors not approving his practise to be recommended here.
