I've suffered with hair loss for 20 yrs., & finally decided to have a transplant done, after yrs of fooling with creams & sprays , etc...
Since I've have worked in 10 Operating Rooms in my career, I've witnessed many surgeries , good ones & not so good . I wanted to make sure I found a quality physician to do my HT.
I researched the Internet, interviewed some Dr's, & decided to go with Dr. Charles in Boca.
Besides his superb credentials & qualifications,
I was impressed with him immediately. He was friendly, down to earth & relaxed.
He seemed honest, direct & up front. I liked his style;he explained everything in detail , exactly what to expect as well as things that could go wrong.He took his time in doing so & I felt as if he was listening to me rather than pre-occupied with what was next on his agenda.
I never felt rushed or pressured in any way.
He discussed what possible options I had besides surgical HT.
He also wanted to do a work-up to see if my hair loss was caused by any medical reason.
Plus, he encouraged me to "shop around" & compare his approach to other physicians.
I admired this philosophy.
I'm really glad I chose him.
Under his guidance & direction my
Pre/Intra & Post Operative experiences went smoothly, efficiently & professionally .
Being very familiar with surgical proceedures, I was acutely aware of the entire process,even under the infuence of the medications I was given. (The meds definitely took the edge off & made me feel very comfortable.)
The only pain I felt was the initial injections , which were comparable to bee stings. But even they were done in a calming & reassuring way. As a patient, I was managed by his very warm & caring staff. They were competant & gracious.
During our first encounter Dr. Charles told me that he is meticulous about his technique & suturing ;this I liked a lot. It's one of the signs of a good surgeon.
During the surgery, I asked what type of closure & suture he used etc.
He then showed me his suture line from the donor site.
I was very impressed.
It was extremely neat, clean & bloodless. It was everything you would expect from an experienced & skillful surgeon.
The 1st 24 hrs.I had slight discomfort, & only had to take tylenol for it. That was it.
I can't wait to see & am excited about the final results. I'm so glad I finally had this done. In retrospect,I'm sorry I waited so long.I have great faith in saying I would highly recommend Dr. Charles . He is absolutely one of the best around.
