hey all-
I have been researching which FUT surgeon to go with for a 3000 graft procedure.
my two choices are Konior and Gabel.
not much to say about Konior except that his results are universally exceptional, I can't find a single bad review and his wait time speaks for itself.
Gabel's results overall are comparable to Konior's and he does not have a wait which obviously is a plus.
I had my heart set on Gabel until I read this thread:
http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/177535-heartbroken-mental-breakdown-what-all-i-have-say.html
I am trying to understand how such a bad experience was possible. At first I thought it might be a fictional patient, perhaps even someone out to damage Gabel's reputation. But then I noticed that the Doctor himself jumped into the conversation and clearly the account was truthful.
I am now on the fence about going to him. I know it's probably an overreaction, but... even that single negative story completely freaked me out.
I can understand someone being a little unsatisfied with their result- perhaps they wanted more crown filling, or they were hoping their 1400 FUE grafts would do the trick on their Norwood 5. But the account was essentially claiming that a huge number of grafts were applied, with little to no visible improvement, over a 12 month period.
Can somebody chime in? Does that thread have a conclusion I am not aware of? Is this kind of thing "normal" even for a stellar doctor such as Gabel?
Thank you so much-
Harry
