Thanks Bill, Like everyone else, you seem to have picked on the one issue.. The issue of the refund. No one ever seems to read the opening thread lol. My issue, with this interaction, and here it may be that I could have done some more thorough research into the matter.. Was Dr Bhatti making the statement with regards to Finasteride saying "There's a 95% growth rate on Fin, and a 65% growth rate without" I posted that here on the forum anonymously, on a separate thread, and even on this thread , and ppl have said that doesn't seem valid.. and has more to do with existing hair and shock loss.. If this is the case, it was not communicated to me by the doc.. I've been advised against using Fin.. By my personal doc.. so didn't want to go down that route.. and informed Dr B.. Consequently he advised me that the success rate could be as low as 65%.. Now I didn't like those odds.. So cancelled and asked for a refund.. and he refused.. But nowhere prior to my explicitly asking what meds are needed post was Fin mentioned.. This was my issue. If I'd known that Fin is such a strong precursor to success, I never would have paid the deposit.. That Bill is the issue. Not the refund.. Not anything else. I hope this clears is it. Its about not having that one crucial piece of information provided. Dr Bhatti's rep got on the thread, and began tagging it with my full name. And using other tactics such as cutting and pasting stuff from my emails with the Doc from 2016, and somehow linking that to this.. All diversionary tactics, in my opinion. That's when I approached you. I'm more than happy for you to close this thread/. I've said my piece, and have had some excellent advice, in private from some very knowledgeable members.. I wish I'd asked them before jumping into this. I will be forwarding my email thread to you in private.. As I have nothing to hide.

This is going to get ugly with my emails being misconstrued, and placed out of context.. I could create a full set off screenshots and post here.. and everyone can witness the sordid tale in all its glory.. But I won't do that.. Anyone who does want access to them, as Shera now believes there is no need for confidentiality.. PM me, and I'll send you the full thread. Maybe I am wrong.. But the way I see it, and that's what I've experienced in the UK.. A large part of any medical professional's job is allaying people's anxieties and fears.. Some ppl have had an amazing experience with this doctor.. Mine unfortunately wasn't.. This is just my experience do read all the other reviews he's had before making any decisions. I'm not going to bother logging on after this.. as all I've had is insults thrown at me.. for my review.. He can keep the $290.. or whatever I'm done..

The money ain't the only issue I'm making a stink about.. The big one was the quote.. Clearly I'm not going to get any support as this is a star doctor we are talking about.. So call me a troll, a delusional person, or whatever you like.. And yes I will take a harsh tone with anyone who sits on my money.. I gave him 2 months notice before asking for a refund. (this time around)

If you ppl consider asking questions re a surgical procedure, or airing anxities about a drug that may cause ill side effects... A waste of time.. Then I worry about you because clearly you're in the wrong business. (And a PS: You got in touch with me.. and you are responding on this thread... I didn't ask you here.. So deduct an hour mate lol.. He has sent me approx 11 replies.. That takes 8 hours?).. Oh and I noticed you put my realname in the tags that's just plain vindictive... Still don't know your real name mate?

You had nothing constructive or useful to say from your first response to my thread to this one.. Nothing has changed..

Hi Shera, Thanks for the comprehensive response.. If you'd bothered reading the first part of my thread.. I did say that he refunded me the first time.. And I was grateful.. What you have quoted from is my first round of emails with him in 2016... **This review has no link to what you are cleverly trying to put across** This has to do with my 2nd round of communication with him ** Get your facts straight before attempting to paint me as a troll after taking my money.. As you're quoting my emails to him.. Funny how you failed to quote the statistic that he gave me.. also you have not mentioned that I asked him to deduct whatever he felt appropriate in terms of time for the 10 or so messages he sent me.. Clearly I have hit a nerve with my review.. You also failed to mention that I tried communicating with Dr B via email after.. He never responded.. This is my review and my experience.. You can Respond to each and every single comment here, quote and even screenshot my emails.. If you have the time and inclination.. My experience was my experience.. And I relayed that.. I don't know you (You've still not told me your full name ) and I don't know Dr Bhatti personally so have no reason to malign anyone.. All I asked for was my deposit minus any time he spent emailing me.. That as far as I'm concerned in not unreasonable.. My gripe was with his 65%, vs 95% stat.. Which has been refuted by ppl here.. Not me.. as I'm not an expert but by ppl here. The fact that you are here.. Armed with all my emails is proof that you guys need to defend yourself.. Even if I come off as a nutjob... I hope you guys up your game.. and ppl who go to you in the future get a good service. Best wishes.

Ok update on this... I've been contacted by Dr Bhattis uk rep... Shera . Who has been made privy to my personal details... and has Google searched everything about me Inc my profession.. and wishes to respond to all mycomments here. Admins how do you feel about a doctor that reveals personal details to an agent?.. this includes my correspondence with him... All I did was review my experience. .. According to Shera.. I have breached patient doctor confidentiality..

Thanks for your input..

His English is pretty good I assure you.. He repeated that stat on atleast 2 messages.. Thanks for the info appreciate that..

Sorry mate, lying is still lying... I would not go to any doctor that lies to me.. I'd rather they be honest and give me the facts.. That's the reason ppl get on these forums.. to get a doctor they can trust...

How has Bhatti been ethical with his 65% vs 95% regrowth rate stat.. re fin and HTs? Also pls look through your own replies.. your words not mine.. You said he lied to me.. How is that ethical?

I did alot of research on the forums exchanged emails with the guy and before paying him.. Nowhere did he state **prior to my explicitly asking**... That Fin is necessary for the success of the procedure... The stat I have quoted: re the 65% regrwoth rate vs 95% regrowth rate. (From Bhatti).. I then raised this on the forum on another thread and ppl said it was necessary for maintance perhaps.. But not for regrowth of grafts.. That's when I pulled the plug.. I didn't just go in blind... That's the reason I have posted now!

Thanks man.. will research this.. Question though.. If Fin raises T-levels.. why does it cause side effects.. Cheers..

Here we go again... yup divert away from what I'm saying.. resort to calling ppl idiots.. Ask you a logical question here.. Now apply some thought before going off on one again: "I meet two physicians one of which I know from this forum.. and the one that I did know has proved to be economical with the truth/facts".. Who can I trust more... - Think about it... Sure as hell ain't going to Bhatti that's for sure!

Thank you! a voice of reason finally! ... why is it that most of the senior members on this forum vociferously defend Bhatti?.. No its not ok that he kept my deposit.. And yes its ok that I raise concerns.. and if they aren't addressed I pull the plug.. Its not wasting time.. If you didn't ask questions before a procedure that has a recovery time of over a year.. and costs thousands.. You're either millionaires, just plain thick... Or lying.. Thank you to the ppl like the guy above for your support and common sense.
