Hello!
I am considering a hair transplant. I live in the bay area and I am trying to find a good surgeon here. So far, I have found:
a. Dr. Neil Gorrin: I had an initial consultation with him. He has been operational for about 2 years now. We spoke about the different procedures - FUT and FUE ( for FUE, he has the ARTAS robotic system, which slightly bumps up the cost). He also showed me some examples of patients he has operated on.
b. Dr. Sara Wasserbauer: I had an initial consultation, although not with her. I found this pretty weird, but you can't directly meet the doctor herself (or rather, apparently to meet her, I would have to wait 2-3 months). Instead I met with a patient consultant (This guy had hair transplants done by Dr. Wasserbauer twice). We went over the exact same thing as with Dr. Gorrin (I basically asked the same questions, just to check how similar (or how different) the responses would be. He told me to meet the Dr., I would have to put down a $1000, schedule a surgery and then meet her. If after I meet her, I decide not to go ahead, I would get a refund. Also, she has been operating for more than 10 years.
c. Dr. John Diep: I have an appointment scheduled with him in the first week of July.
d. Dr. Tom Rosanelli : I still need to schedule an appointment with him.
I was wondering if any of the people on this network had surgeries with the above doctors and could make any recommendations/share their experiences. I have been trying to find some recent cases online, but except for Dr. Diep (he is pretty up-to-date on his youtube channel) I haven't been able to find much for the others. I am pretty sure I want to have the surgery, but I also know how important it is to find the right surgeon. So any help from people on this forum to help me decide would be great !
Thanks a lot!
