Looks good....appreciate your detailed posting.

It's been about 6 weeks since my procedure with Dr. Paul Shapiro. So far, I have no regrets. I've always been somewhat intimidated by doctors but I quickly felt comfortable with Dr. Paul. He came across as being genuinely concerned about me and the whole ht experience. Therefore, I ended up feeling I was in very good hands right before the procedure and that was a good feeling to have at such a time! The postop work was very refined and yeah a majority of the grafts have shed now and I'm trying to forget about it for awhile (and not frequent this site anymore either for now). I chose to shave down and thank goodness I'm able to wear a hat at work.

Tom R., I appreciate hearing about your experience with Dr. Paul. It's unfortunate but I'm impressed the way SMG is working with you to improve the situation. I've heard Dr. Paul really strives for perfection and if anything this probably made him strive for even greater perfection. I'll be keeping my appointment with Dr. Paul because I still have a lot of confidence in SMG.

Well, I do now have a ht scheduled with Paul and it's hard for me to believe! For years my hair loss has been eating away at me and a couple of months ago I discovered this website and it led me to compulsively research FUT, which I didn't even know existed. I researched a little on transplants some time ago but the results and many horror stories turned me off so much I never even considered it as an option. That is, until I discovered this site and the doctors listed and all the information. I've tried everything else and I feel I've done plenty of research. I just came to the point where I decided I'm going to do it rather than reading the same information again and again and most importantly I'm confident in my selecton of a doctor, especially after visiting SMG! A concern right now is I'm wondering if I have realistic expectations. Of course I would like to have just one session and be really satisfied with it and not have to go back but it seems like most people go back and many factors come into play. Only the future will tell.

I'm thinking strongly about scheduling a ht with Dr. Paul Shapiro after meeting with Matt at SMG. Any feedback on his work would be appreciated. I currently feel very comfortable knowing he was trained by his brother and his brother recommends him. I've seen pictures of his work and to me it looks just as good as his brothers. Anyway, I read some of the old posts regarding Dr. Paul and there seemed to be a difference of opinion regarding his being admitted to the coalition too quickly. Seems one patient didn't agree to having him admitted so soon? Could anybody shed some light on this old post? I know he's slightly cheaper than his brother but to me that simply means Dr. Ron Shapiro is in extreme demand due to the reputation he has developed over the years.
