@Milkman555 can you DM me? I don’t have the juice to do that with my account haha. I was planning on booking with Dr. Dorin as I had seen tons of good results posted but now am concerned.

Thanks for taking the time to share this.

I'm still glad I did it, and I'm pretty happy with the right side. We'll see what comes of the left.

Any update? After all is said and done would you recommend Dr Dorin?

curious why staying in the US is a factor? You can get botched in the US just as easily as any Turkish hairmill. Loads of sketchy unqualified US hack surgeons just like any other country in this industry. 

One of the reasons is for easier follow ups. Many of the docs seem to recommend them and happy to provide them. And also if another touch up appointment or something is needed. It would be easier for any of this for US travel as opposed to turkey which is not something I can do very easily. 

Another thing people mentioned that got me thinking I would prefer US is the peace of mind if something goes wrong being in the United States would be easier to deal with then if that happened abroad.

Hopefully you have a great end result,   but if you don't, now that you posted here and got the spotlight on your experience,  I'm sure Dr Hasson will personally do the extra work and make sure you're happy with the end result.   

And if Melvin and anyone else is ok paying top dollar to have techs doing the majority of the work while having the Dr monitoring the surgery progress/end result by pictures while he's at his office or sipping margaritas at his house,   then cool.  

But this is information that should be provided and shared by this community.  

I've been to 3 different Dr's. 

(2) FUT - Dr Dorin NY - surgically removed the strip, put the stitches in and then did all the incisions,   the techs placed all the grafts.  Dr checked in during the process and we talked afterwards. 

(3) FUE - Dr Nader MÉXICO - performed graft extractions and all the incisions,    and the techs placed all the grafts.   Dr checked in during the process and we talk afterwards. 

(1) FUE - Dr Mwamba NJ - performed majority of all the work.   He had 1 tech that helped him at times when he would take very short breaks.  

 

 

How did Dr Dorin compare with these other top docs? Definitely considering him. Biggest concerns are high quality result and staying in the US. Sorry can’t DM you yet w my account

Do video consultations with each of them. Ask to speak to past patients, then narrow down by your goals and objectives.

Hey Melvin,

Trying to message other users on here to ask them how they picked surgeons and about their experiences, but I don’t have the ability to DM on this account yet haha. Is there another way you would recommend to reach out to past patients?

Thanks

Hello Msb,

just curious how you decided to go with Dr Wesley out of all the Ny docs. I would DM you but don’t have that ability on this account yet haha. 
 

Thanks!

Do you think the first one failed due to the process done by Dr Dorin and would have gone fine if you had used your second doctor on the first attempt?

I have a similar hairline to you and was thinking of going to Dr Dorin and wanted to see your thoughts. 

Thanks for the feedback. Reaching out to previous patients on here is a good idea as well.

Are there any other US doctors I didn’t mention here that you would consider as “must look into” before deciding?

Hello,

First post after lurking here for a little while.  I am posting because after browsing here for a few months and looking at several doctors websites and results I am still having troubling narrowing down to which surgeon I would ultimately like to schedule with. 

I have narrowed it down just a bit to deciding I want to stay in the US (for easier follow ups and in case something goes wrong).  However it still looks like there are a ton of great options in the US and I am having trouble finding who is best for me. Location does not help narrow it down since there are no recommended docs in my area and will have to fly to any location. I am also trying to not narrow down based on price because after reading advice here I believe this shouldn’t be a deciding factor for surgery.

I have looked at Dr Konior, Dr Nadimi, Dr Vories, Dr Cooley, Dr Dorin, Dr Wong, Dr Gabel, and they all seem great and there are still plenty more US recommendations as well. Any advice on narrowing it down further?

My background I am 31, a Norwood 3A, have been on fin for 4ish years looking to restore my hairline in the front with FUE and wear my hair short.

Thank you.
