HairRun

Nadimi is not on the coalition (yet?) but seems to be an up and comer who has been very impressive, studying under Konior who is is mentioned on this forum for attention to detail, and doing more of the work that is usually performed by the technicians. I am guessing Nadimi is also working under the same school of philosophy. Seems very worth doing at least a consolation.

correction, it was from this website, it looks like Dr Bernstein is an elite coalition member.

Shoot, I closed my tabs, I tried to google just from keywords and found this which pretty much says the same thing, I don't think it was the same website though https://www.bernsteinmedical.com/answers/sutures-vs-staples/ Let me try to find the original website, but I believe it was from a non-coalition dr.

One HTS website says Sutures could potential kill follicles by cutting off blood supply. Any truth to this?

Great stuff. I am looking to do ~2000 grafts. My previous HT is a little messed up in the corners, so I guess I fall into the 'repair' category. Do you any other recommendations for surgeons whose strengths fall under 'detail' and 'repair' category. I am ok if they are not (yet) in the coalition if they have great praise on here (like Dr Nadimi ). After looking at this post, and doing some more research, I would say Konior is likely my top choice. But It looks like I may not be able to get in due to his wait list. His associate Dr Nadimi seems more available, though she doesn't seem to be a coalition member. From the posts here it really looks like she has a great rep. I saw in one of the testimonial that during one procedure, she had to step out and take care of a different patient. It seems that a lot of up-and-coming HTSs try to pack a lot of work in to make a name for themselves. But younger people tend to have more energy so not necessarily a bad thing. She might be a future coalition member, and so if there is a discount compared to Konior it may be great value HT, though it seems that if you study under a coalition member, that's not necessarily guaranteed, ie Rasman/Pak. In case the others have very long wait times like Konior, I decided to expand my list. From my research, I added: Bernardino Arocha: His assistant posts results here regularly. I don't hear these epic praises for him like with the others. But seems like a solid choice. Timothy Carman: He seems to be a high demand area for HTs; San Diego. So I'm not sure where there is so little talk about him. He is close to where I am, so I would love to consider him. Haber, M.D.: Another coalition member. Like Timothy, not much buzz on here about him.

Any info? He is in the coalition, but there doesn't seem to be much talk about him on this forum.

If it makes a differences, I am looking to do 1600-2000 grafts, FUT. I say 1600-2000 because that's what the several HT surgeons I have consulted with gave, I understand that these surgeons will give different estimates. Btw, glad this site exists, I had consulted around in my local area, and wasn't quite satisfied with my local options. I had a 1500 grafts surgery about a decade ago, and looking fill in areas that have lost density + my hairline needs to be fixed a little from my last transplant. I am slightly leaning towards coverage over density, though from what I can tell, all of them have a pretty good understanding of this balance. From what I've been reading, Gabel is a little newer though by now is well established/experienced. Other than that, as far as I could find, other differences I could find don't seem to matter too much too but: Konior seems to do most of the work himself as opposed to techs. Hassan or Wong seem to be more reliant on techs, though their techs are very experienced (~10 years). Hassan seems to do more hair transplants than Wong due to more reviews being produced by him. These don't seem to tip the needle for me. I'm thinking hair transplants take several hours. Techs aide in preserving the surgeons much needed focus for optimal results, especially for tasks that are repeated a few thousand times. If a surgeon needs more rest to recharge and put more focus into fewer patients, they should do it. One of the questions I have is, why is Ron Shapiro so touted here, but not his associate Paul Shapiro or David Josephitis? Paul Shapiro doesn't even seem to be on the coalition. Anyways, it seems that I can't go wrong, but I have to pick one. Good dilemma to have, thanks to this website. Edit: I may have to expand my list, due to border crossing issues, wait times, etc. Any recommendations? Pref those who are great at detail, hairlines, repair, though again, that seems to be most of them. Great stuff. I am looking to do ~2000 grafts.
