  1. I got a similar message from H&W and was quite disappointed. I've been on oral dutasteride and finasteride for many years but quit last January due to the irreversible side effects. I thought I'd never go back on these medications in my life but it seems almost a prerequisite for many of these doctors and facilities.
  2. Congratulations on your very successful procedure Zoomster! I did a virtual consultation with Eugenix and was considering them because of their reputation here and because I have family I could stay with in Delhi. However, I was shocked to learn their current package price is 450 INR per graft with one of their leading doctors (Dr. Bansal, they didn't specify if Dr. Sethi was the same price). This is an all inclusive price including three night hotel stay but they would not even consider doing something a la cart (where I'd arrange my own accommodations). With the number of grafts I was quoted and the 18% tax rate, I don't think it would make sense for me to proceed with Eugenix. They were also adamant about taking finasteride in their preliminary message and I had already detailed how and why I discontinued it because of several severe and irreversible side effects.
  3. Hello, 31 yo male here with thinning hair on the entire top of the head plus vertex/crown area. I'm not quite sure if it conforms the typical Norwood scale. I have been diagnosed with low Testosterone and have been on Androgel in the past, not that it has helped much. I suspect much of the T is being converted to DHT and unfortunately I have not been on Propecia in ages because I stopped seeing the prescribing physician. Anyway, would I see any gains if I began the Propecia regimen? I always paid out of pocket but my insurance allegedly covers the 5mg dosage. Moreover, I am looking into the latest HT options and thought I would go for the latest and greatest robotic Neograft or ARTAS procedure since there is minimal scarring and supposed increase in precision and aesthetic results. However, I am now realizing traditional FUT might provide a more dense and full end result. I had planned on seeing several specialists in NYC but probably will not be able to do that if they all charge hefty consultation fees. What happened to the days when consults with even the leading plastic surgeons were free? Thus, if anyone has experience with the doctors in this area--especially those who offer ARTAS I would welcome your feedback. So far, I am considering potentially meeting with Dr. Robert Bernstein, Dr. Roy Stoller, and Dr. Craig Zeiring. All of these names I found through the ARTAS website (after deciding it was superior to Neograft). Am I potentially ruling out some even better doctors? Your wisdom, experience and knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
