  1. B-Spot, I don't care how much Pat makes to run this website. God bless him if he makes a million dollars year. Did I ever say that there was something wrong with that? I also do not have a problem with doctors advertising on a website to get business. I'm just saying that these doctors admit that the Coalition is not different that the other doctors except for the advertising tier they choose to pay. It's no big deal. It's just the way it is according the the doctors who I've spoken to. I'm sure that Pat works very hard to run this website and it is a very informative place. I have nothing bad to say about him or this website. It just seems that some of you actually think that this isn't a business. Why would Pat allow inferior doctors to advertise on his website, those who are not Coalition members if it was all about telling people who the best doctors are. Does this make sense. The choice is yours, you can go to a Coalition doctor and get a superior hair transplant or if you're stupid you can go to one of our not so good doctors who are also recommended on this site. Does this make sense to you B-spot? People you have to agree that this is silly. Anyway, I'm glad I can see straight. I'll continue to research, but all the short lists seem to be the same. Hasson&Wong, Shapiro, Feller. This website sells advertising to many doctors but most of the consistent posters tell you to go to these three. Am I wrong about this? Thank you.
  2. Thanks for the replies. I appreciate your words. I don't want to get a particular doctor in trouble. This is not my intent. Besides, who prepares a transcript of their phone conversations that they have with hair transplant doctors? Or maybe I should, it can be called the hair transplant files I also spoke with several doctors listed on this website as recommended but not members of the Coalition. Here is a list: Alfonso Barrera, MD, FACS Dr. Mark Baxa Michael Beehner, M.D Dr. Ivan Cohen Dr. Blaine Lehr Dr. William Parsley I asked them what the difference between their transplant and the Coalition member's transplants were. It was hard for me to understand the distinction since they all did the same size cases on average as the Coalition doctors. Some used lateral slits when appropriate just like the Coalition doctors and all claim to dense pack unlike some of the Coalition doctors. What they did say was the following. Three of the above listed doctors said that they were once Coalition doctors but since it cost much more to advertise as a Coalition doctor they decided to just be listed on the website. One told me that there was no difference so that is why he went with the "lower tier" of advertising. His words. Dr. Barrera just said "too much money". He was kind of hard to talk to. I asked them if they new what ultra refined results were. Two chuckled and said that this must be a new term and that people in this business make up all kind of names for the same thing. Two said it was a name that Pat the website owner uses to market doctors. Dr. Barrera, couldn't seem to understand what I was asking and just said he never heard of it. Why don't you people just call yourselves and ask the same questions. I'm sure you will get the same answers. All of the doctors were very courteous and really seemed to care. Thank you.
  3. Thank you all for replying. This is really a tough crowd. Fist off I do not work for Hasson&Wong so saying that is ridiculous. Pat I apologize if you believe that I'm being reckless and ill-informed, but isn't this a place to ask questions and voice opinions? It's obvious that I'm still learning, that is why I am here. What kind of agenda can I have? I don't understand what you mean. My only agenda is to attempt to solve my hair loss problem and live a happy life. I think that's why every one is here. Pat you own this site correct? Why would you attack new members of your websites? I'm sure if I go to a doctor from you're site you receive some kind of compensation don't you? Here is the list of Coalition members who seemed kind of out of touch when it came to the so called criteria. The rest seemed to do the surgery as describes but none really did mega sessions except Hasson&Wong. Leonard E. Aronovitz, D.O Robert M. Bernstein, M.D., F.A.A.D Jerry E. Cooley, MD Jeffrey Epstein MD, FACS Edmond I. Griffin, MD Robert Haber, M.D. Sharon Keene, MD Bobby L. Limmer, MD William R. Rassman, MD. William Reed, M. Paul T. Rose, M.D. Some general comments from them: Like to do smaller sessions not to compromise blood supply. Do lateral slits when appropriate. The verdict on dense packing is not out, some doctors and websites say this for marketing purposes. Hasson&wong split follicles or something like that One said they can do a large amount of grafts in a two day session. Don't believe the hype on these websites. Most sessions are less than 2000 grafts. One said that these type of websites are good marketing for some doctors, not talking about himself. These are not my words. These are the words of the doctors. So now what, am I going to be attacked for doing good research and asking smart questions? Am I a weed for expressing myself and sharing this knowledge? I will say this, at least these doctors were honest and did not give me false hope. They wanted me to be realistic and told me what they can do for me and I appreciate this, but if you read this website everyone is under the impression that if a doctor belongs to this website that he meets this specific criteria and the doctors themselves are saying differently. Thank you
  4. Is it common to bully people on this website? I contacted every single doctor in the Coalition. There is no need to provide a list. Just contact them yourself and ask the same questions. Also ask if they know what ultra refined results are. I don't think most of them do. One told me it was a marketing term. Another told me that it was just an "expression" used on this website. These are not my words. I came here to get help not to be bullied. Do you have a financial interest in this business? I'm just telling you guys about my experience. Thanks
  5. Thanks everyone. I went to Dr. Feller about 4 years ago. I had just heard about Propecia and he told me that the pill was dangerous and that he would not prescribe it to his patients. He also told me that I was an ideal candidate for a hair transplant and Propecia would be a waist of my time anyway. I took his advice and didn't get on Propecia for over two years after I met with him. I lost like 30% more hair in that time so I decided to try the drug. I haven't gotten worse since being on it, so if I would have taken it when I met with him chances are I would not be here looking to have a hair transplant today. I think he just wanted to do a transplant on me. Just my opinion. Vinto, I looked up the doctors that you visited on this site and all I see is complaints. That's what I'm talking about. Why would anyone consider going anywhere else but to Hasson&Wong? And after reading all of the bad stuff about the so called good doctors, I'm a little scared about even considering them. I just want some help and I don't want to make a bad choice like some of you have. Thanks
  6. I have a question. I've been reading this forum for about 4 months now. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but after seeing all the photos and posts on this website, why would anyone have hair transplant surgery with any one other than Hasson&Wong. The other doctors on this site don't even compare from what I can see. I live in New York and I'd like to have a hair transplant, but from what I see and read on the site leads me to believe that it would be a mistake to go anywhere else but to Hasson&Wong. Am I missing something? I called several Coalition doctors, but most told me that they do not do dense packing. I asked if they did lateral slits most said sometimes and I asked about mega sessions and most said they don't do them. I also asked one coalition member what ultra refined results were and he told me that it was a marketing term. So I'm confused? Thanks you.
