To be honest. I believe it is impossible to rate Doctors who perform hair transplant surgery in a "top 5". There are many factors which determine who is best including quality of work, facilities, staff, pre-op counseling, post-op care, price, etc.. Every person has their own weight they apportion to each of the factors. For me, I chose Dr. True because he was close by; the price was reasonable compared to others; I had experience with Dr True previously while he was in a partnership with Dr. Elliot; and the pre-op counseling was excellent. Three and a half months post-op from my most recent surgery, I can see the results will make a far more significant impact on my appearance then earlier surgeries. However, this is to be expected from any one of a number of surgeons practicing the latest ultra dense grafting methods for the frontal hairline. On the downside, if I were to offer Dr. True any advice on how to improve his practice. I would definately suggest he either redecorate the current facilities, or better yet, move somewhere else with more spacious rooms. Part of the reason I went with Dr True a 2nd time is that I was impressed with the facilities at True and Elliott. The present facilities are very spartan looking and the procedure rooms are not much larger then a closet. I would get a more comfortable chair with memory foam head support (for comfort while staying still for hours and hours), and increase the amount of sedation to achieve a twilight sleep to make the hours pass by more quickly.
Anyway, back to my point, you really can't have a
top five because hair transplants are not something you can experience yourself at each of the Doc's performing them. However, the moderator of this site could take a poll of the membership rating their experience with the Doctors they have seen, in all of the various quality factors on a scale of 1-5. Then you can tabulate the results and each member can get an idea of which Doctors stand out in those areas they deem important.
