TS - the doctor I was referring to was the MHR doctor that works the offices in Austin and Dallas. Nice guy - bad plugs. I believe Puig works for Bosley in houston. I met the Bosley sales consultant in Austin - but he know nothing about HT. A good guy to go out and have a beer with - but the last person in the world to answer's someone's questions about HT. On top of this he was suggesting that I save some money by "filling a vacancy". ie I could save money if I could fill a hole in the schedule. This means I would not even meet the Dr. until minutes before my surgery. Fortunately was smart enough to realize this isn't the way the HT process should be handled.

Interesting thought - I simple believe the people posting here are more intelligent than the average person, thus the reason they are here in the first place. You notice there are not a lot of posting's from people who went to MHR or Bosley.

pdm - I have read your posts, put there is no better proof than pictures. Is there any way to get pictures?? Your enthusiasm for Limmer is commendable - but also suspicious. I am going to take advantage of the ablility these websites offer to post before and after pics - I hope you will to. ts - I will definitely keep you posted. As you tell my determination between the two doctors will be based on which has the better procedure to minimize shock loss and scarring. I am not interested in spending six months looking bad!

I have read through this site. Would like to thank Pat and thebaldtruth for my last minute decision not to use MHR. I had serious reservations when I went in and even the Dr. had bad transplants. And for those who what to know - the Dr. never consulted with me, just the sales consultant, and it was a pure sales job - the old the more graph's I buy - the cheaper the price gets - no consideration to how many graft's I actually would need - and no dicussions about the cons, ie shockloss - I didn't even know about that possibly till comming to this board, and I have consulted with both Bosley and MHR a number of times specifically asking about the cons. According to them I would be back at work the next day the happiest guy in the world. To those on the board - what can I expect from these two doctors. I know someone was posting aggressively about using Dr. Limmer - but I have not been able to find any post after he had his transplant's with Dr. Limmer. I have read the "bashing's" of Dr. Limmer becauses he uses tech's - but so do apparently all Dr.'s. To Dr. Limmer(Father or son) - how involved can I expect you to be in the transplant process. To Dr. McCLellan and Dr. Limmer - I see you both visit this site, which is why I am posting here. As I live in Texas, you two seem to be the best in Texas. I do have these questions - is there a way to stop or reduce "shock loss". I have paid alot of money for my existing hairs - propecia - will being on this help. Is there any studies in this area? I have studied plenty of pictures - some people seem to go throught the transplant process alot better than others - ie no shock loss, procedure not very noticeable just a few day after surgury. etc. Can a Dr tell how well a patient will respond after surgury by exaimining the patient - are is it all up to nature. Does the "shockloss hair" grow back?? Most people say it does, but Dr. McClellan indicated in one post it does not. I will keep all on this board and thebaldtruth posted on my experience, because obviously there is no better way to pick a doctor than through these invaluable websites and the people who post about their experience's.
