Thank you all for the suggestions. For some reason I only received an email back from Dr. Wong. Dr. Reed's office still hasn't contacted me 7 days later. I guess I will give them a call and see if they got my info.

I appreciate the feedback and will certainly look at the HD videos. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I submitted for an online consult yesterday to both practices. About how long does it take for them to get back to you generally?

Hi guys and thank you again for the info. Here is a link to a case of Dr. Reeds that seems to mimic my situation. My hair loss is not at this stage yet but will be in 1 to 2 years. This case has 2578 grafts. http://www.hairtransplantnetwo...tientID=1782&DrID=65 This patient below is Dr. Hasson's work. It has 4500 grafts. Not quite twice as many. His work on the patients crown looks a bit better to me but 2000 grafts better? Is that twice as good. Obviously all these guys are fantastic surgeons. I just want to get the most bang for my buck. If I can get 700 more grafts from Dr. Reed than from Hasson/Wong, aren't I ultimately going to be better off going that route? Please educate me if you think I am missing some pertinent info.

Thank you for the responses. I am going to go ahead and give the consults a try and see what they have to say. Specifically though... does anyone have an opinion as to the results in regards to number of grafts. When looking through the case studies, it seems that Reed gets fantastic results with 2 to 3 thousand grafts. Results that appear to me as a layman, to be comparable to the 4 and 5 thousand grafts cases of Hasson/Wong. Thank you again everyone for your input.

Hi all. I've finally decided to take the plunge and pursue a HT. I think I've read everything on this site and looked at every case study for every recommended doc and have narrowed it down to Hasson/Wong and Dr. Reed in La Jolla. I picked these two practices because of their patient cases/results. More people seem to recommend Hasson/Wong... but in looking at the photos, Reed seems to get superior results with fewer grafts. I'm not really worried about the money. I will go to whoever has the best outcome. Any advice???? Bill, I've read tons of your posts and respect the advice you've given others. I would love you to weigh in if possible. Thanks all. BTW, I'm 36 and thinning on front and top. I think it is a II on the Norwood scale.
