Shapiro scared me when I was contemplating another HT. His work was ok and Leavitt did a very good job. However the last transplant I noticed that the grafts were unbalanced between the left and right side with the left side being denser. This prompted me to see Bernard Nusbaum in Coral Gables Florida who is a real pro -great technician -very nice and responsive physician. Sprouting is just starting after 5 months where the others were at the 4 month mark. Nusbaum refuses to see you for follow up until the 6 month milestone has passed. By the way what turned me off about Shapiro was he tried to show a new patient my before pictures and they were not even mine. They showed someone with virtually no hair and introduced me as that person.
