Hi, I had a procedure done with Dr. Epstein in June of last year to fill in receding corners. I researched all the major groups. Hair Club just wanted me to get my hair washed there every month for the rest of my life and Bosley, despite having the benefit of an in person consultation, would not comment in any way as to the results. I selected Dr Epstein after his internet consultation looking at my photos. What impressed me is his prompt attention to my emails and questions. After arriving at the office for the day of the procedure (Despite being a skeptic, i was impressed enough to schedule the procedure and consultation on the same day, sight unseen) it was everything I expected. A very clean professional environment and the staff was extremely considerate. Dr. Epstein came and spoke with me for about a half hour after i had the chance to look over photos. We talked about my goals (aggressive, I wanted to get back to the 18 year old hairline I used to have) We talked about the shape of my hairline and he and I bounced Ideas off each other and settled on an idea that took into account his experience and my expectations. This also thoroughly impressed me. At no time did I feel like this was a cookie cutter approach. Eventually after settling on the shape, he drew it on my skull for the procedure. I entered the procedure room where about 10 people worked on my hairline for a few hours while I blissfully slept. I awoke for the last 45 minutes or so of the procedure. Dr Epstein was close by, either installing the grafts himself or constantly checking the performanch of his staff while checking my appearance from a head on view. I went home and had a painful evening. I would say to expect this. I did however find out the next day that one of my blood vessels had opened back up so I actually had to have Dr. Epstien open the stitches up and re cauterize a bleeder. Wasn't a big deal. I saw definite results in 4-6 weeks. By august my new hair was catching the old and by september I was caught up. No one has asked about the procedure, despite having a scar from the left side of my head to the back (I wear my hair short as I am in the military). When my hair is not styled, I can tell the difference somewhat. The transplant hair is more coarse then the hair around the placement site. This is expected of course. Accordingly, there are also a fewer number of transplanted hairs (fewer but thicker hair). On one of my corners, the hair blends nearly perfectly with the hair around it. On the other side, it grows at a bit of an angle to the surrounding hair which bugs me a bit. However, this is lessening as styling my hair over time has been slowly correcting the growth trend. I havent had a chance to talk to the doc about this. Overall, I think its doubtful that I could be more impressed. Dr. Epstien, in my impression is the best surgeon I could have picked. I am a perfectionist, and although my results are not "perfect" as I define it, they are very very close. I definitely have no doubts about having the procedure even though I wasnt sure going into it. If you can go see Dr. Epstein. Do it. He's at Foundhair.com Andy
