Thank you. I had the post removed because I want to be thorough and accurate in my terms and maintain the integrity of the forum.

Exactly. I understand that. This has been my main point of concern in trying to address this. I do not intend to mislead.

They were nurses. I know that. Im trying to be diligent with these terms.

I have confirmed that they were registered nurses. However, the word technician, as I remember, was also used initially. "Neografter" is another title I've seen in my records. Again, these titles seem to be used in different ways. Perhaps some technicians are nurses some are something else? Can nurses do the procedure?

Nah, I'm not being bullied or silenced. It's nothing like that at all. I just want to be thorough and accurate in my terms. From a consumer/patient perspective, I didn't think navigating all these titles would be so difficult. Clinics and medical agencies use the word technician in different ways. Perhaps I was naive to assume that a doctor would have a more direct role in the procedure. I've been told contradictory things about what parts of hair restoration can be delegated to nurses (and/or technicians) and what parts should be done by a physician. It's all been a very confusing experience, which is why, as others have said on this thread, be really diligent with your clinic about who is doing precisely what so you can make an informed decision about where you want to go.

These posts on HMR are really useful; thank you! I live in SD but I think I need to go to TJ for a second procedure.

Thanks for posting this. I am considering getting a 2nd procedure done in TJ so this helps a lot. Also, for what it's worth, I think your hair looks stellar. I envy the density!

Thanks for the heads up! I will give him a call, I think.
