Yeah, sorry to miss you as well. You are leaving the day after your surgery? That is good to know.

Congratulations, Mo. It's good to see happy repair patients:)

Harriri, Long time old friend. I hope you are well. You can read about the latest here; http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/176225-jotronic-resigns-hasson-wong.html and here. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/176226-joe-tillman-now-representing-rahal.html Let's Skype soon.

My pleasure, FC. If you need anything further, I'll do my best to help.

Ugh! Double post.

First, I'd like to thank everyone that took the time to send me well wishes. It is greatly appreciated. The decision to leave Vancouver behind was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make. This is not an embellishment. I had a major emotional investment in HW because of where I started and where I wound up. I have 11 years of many fantastic memories that I will forever cherish. Dr. Wong in particular is a true gentleman and I'll always be thankful for his work and his friendship. No one will ever take this away and certainly it will not ever be denied no matter where my path leads. My departure is irrelevant to the quality of work being performed there and that too should not be in question. More so, this move was not about the "yield" of the Canadian dollar. If a dollar was all I were after I'd be at a national chain wearing a white coat selling lasers and serums. I find this insinuation insulting and nothing more than an easy cheap shot. Over the past few years I've made note of the advances in FUE as the benefits are undeniable. I don't think I need to state why and this is why I stopped being what some would label as "anti-FUE". I realized that I could not in good conscience slam a technique that was obviously making many patients very happy and to do so would be self serving if not ignorant. I am neither. I have however always argued certain points regarding FUE vs. FUT and I still hold some of those views which can be discussed at a different time but for me to offer FUE is not a sudden switch in spirit but rather in practice as I could not offer something that I had no access to. I've complimented and posted about FUE in a positive light MANY times and I certainly have not been "anti-FUE" for quite a long time. My posting history will support this and some posters in this thread have acknowledged that I've been supportive of their FUE research and/or procedure. This does not mean that I think the procedure is perfect and that it is all things to all people as it is not. Some people are not good candidates for FUE but so is the case for FUT. I've never said anything to the contrary. The reason why I joined Rahal is simple. I have had the opportunity to work for various clinics over the years but it was Rahal that made sense to me; a LOT of sense. Rahal is performing outstanding FUE and from what I've seen I believe that Rahal is the premiere FUE provider in North America and offers a direct challenge to the established leaders in the field, anywhere. Did I mention that Rahal does not use flash for photo documentation? I had my suspicions at one point but now I know for a fact that flash is not used. Combined with his stellar reputation for hairline design, true mega-sessions for the right patient and a proven record of high density, it should be an absolute no-brainer to come aboard. The problem was, it wasn't a no-brainer because as stated above the decision to leave HW was terribly difficult but in the end I made the decision that I felt was best for me. And hairfarmer79, when you talk about how my "silence is deafening" take a moment to consider the fact that I don't have a lot of time to respond to personal postings, especially silly ones that try to question my integrity. As you obviously know, I did just start a new job so I've been a little busy. To everyone else, I appreciate the comments that I've always been "unbiased" but I feel I need to be clear. I am NOT unbiased as I have always given my opinion based on what I know from my own experiences and what I observe. This is the case for everyone that works in the industry and even patients that do not work in this industry. I prefer to use the term "fair" when I give my advice because in the end, that's all that my advice can and should be. Again, thank you to those that have stated their support.

Follically-Challenged, I saw your post and wanted to chime in to let you know what's up. Once Dr. Rahal gets his European trip sorted you'll be one of the first to know. Understand this, your concerns will be addressed and sorted.

This patient is known on the forums as “HookHairs”. He decided on Rahal FUE on February 22nd, 2012 after having two previous FUE procedures with a different clinic. He reported that the first two procedures did not grow as well as he had hoped and decided that having Rahal FUE for round three may allow for a higher yield. The approach included filling the recipient zone that was addressed in the two previous procedures to add density and to lower the temples further while maintaining a natural shape and appearance. Dr. Rahal met with HookHairs on his most recent journey to the UK in April 2014 to get an update on his progress. Hookhairs reported that he was very happy with his final result after 22 months post-op. Hookhairs had 1413 FUE grafts in one procedure for the result you see below. I will be making a new upload every Friday for the next 12 months to highlight the consistent results of Rahal FUE. To view the story of HookHairs click the following link... http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/165135-dr-rahal-1413-fue-february-2012-a.html The following three images were taken by the patient at 4 months post-op.

As of July 30, 2014 I am now the online representative for Rahal. I'll be showcasing the results primarily from Dr. Rahal's FUE portfolio and in fact I will be doing so each and every Friday. I'm very excited by this opportunity as it allows me the freedom to show what I feel is among the best FUE available anywhere. Rahal has a freshly renovated, state-of-the-art facility at new, larger location. I'll be sharing more images of the impressive new clinic soon. For now, here I am out front of the main entrance:
