I have not been on this site for awhile but I read your about your experience with SMG, and I can tell you I had the exact same experience you did. I chose Dr. Shapiro after months of research and came to the conclusion that why not have my HT done by the master himself, who has taught or worked with the other recommended docs, ie Rose, Charles, Keene. It has been about two years since my HT and my hairline is so natural it is hard to believe I had been bald . I have not had this kind of hairline or hair for that matter in over 25 years. No more hats for me, just remember to be patient and you will have no regrets. It will grow!!!!
