Hello.
I'm 14 months from 3,500 grafts strip procedure with Dr. Feller and couldn't be happier. Even better, my girlfriend is happy, which pretty much means I'm going to be happy as well.
I have read this board and a few others over the years and must thank everyone for guiding me to the right doctor. I am from the U.K. and did my research very thoroughly and decided to go to Dr. Alan Feller in New York.
I started losing my hair several years ago in my mid twenties, but thankfully my curly hair helped to cover it up. After a while even the curls couldn't hide the baldness. I had receeded alot in the front and then the crown started opening up.
When I met Dr. Feller, I was hoping he could do my front in one day, but when he told me he could do the crown at the same time because of my curly hair I asked him to do both.
He placed 3,500 impants into my bald areas and I have to say it was not bad at all. A long day no doubt, but not bad. The needles weren't fun, but they weren't at all what I thought they would be. I don't see why some people make such a big deal over them.
The staff were very freindly and genuine. They even knew my name! Great gals. Dr. Feller is a really really good guy. Very down to the ground "Feller" and very attentive. I can tell he really listens to what I'm saying and takes his time.
He took photos the whole time to document my procedure as I told him he could post my pics after I grow out (as long as you cover my face doc! Please!)
Anyway, I was travelling through the U.S. and decided to visit with Dr. Feller to see my growth and take pics as promised. He also took a video as well.
I knew that I had grown well, but when he showed me and my g-friend pics of me just before the procedure I was shocked at how bald I actually was in the front and crown. For a few months I mistook Dr. Feller's hairs for my own! Thank G-D for digital cameras!
Many thanks to Dr. Feller and his team. My cousin is already booked in for a procedure with the doc. Unfortuantely he has to wait 4 months for his procedure, but it's clearly worth the wait.
I highly recommend Dr. Feller and his team.
