  6. I recently read the post from MM. I am disappointed that he is not satisfied with his result. Since the first time that he related to me his concerns more than a year ago, I have tried to do everything in my power to accommodate him. I have not pushed him away nor have I dismissed or ignored his concerns. As he pointed out after he had his first session with me we both agreed that he had a superb result and I thought he should consider stopping at that point at least for the time being. As MM pointed out he wanted more grafts to increase the density. I do not believe that my ego has gotten in the way and feel that I would be the first to admit if I thought something had gone awry. I feel that objectively if one were to meet MM in person that a reasonable observer would find the result to show excellent growth naturalness. As I understand the situation, MM is not saying that he did not have good growth; rather he is concerned about density in some areas. I have suggested that he visit with other doctors and let them evaluate his results. I have offered to speak with any and all of the doctors he has seen to assess if there is a problem. I have offered to send his pictures to an email group of doctors that I communicate with and let them examine the pictures to see if there is a problem they can discern. MM did not want his photos sent out or brought to a hair transplant meeting to be seen by other physicians that I know. Members of my staff have seen him and spoken with MM one on one without me being nearby. While one could assume a bias on their part I think they try to be objective. Their impression was that the results were excellent as well. Some may feel that the staff cannot provide a valid opinion but members of my staff have worked for me for many years. I have respect for the skills and experience they bring to the table. In meeting with MM I have tried to understand his concerns. What I think may be occurring is that he may be noticing a difference based on ongoing hair loss and the difference in density from the back of the head to the frontal area. If this is the case then I suggested adding some grafts to the area of concern. When I raised this possibility MM disagreed with the analysis. Similarly in the temple area my feeling is that he is noticing more recession in the area from his own natural hair loss. I suggested adding grafts to refine this if he desired. MM apparently MM feels he has not lost more hair in the temples. Again objectively I truly do not think he looks worse. I take great pride in my work and I try to be responsive to my patient's concerns. I personally remain disappointed that MM is not satisfied with the work. I have repeatedly offered to do whatever he wants (within the context of what I think is reasonable)
  7. Thank you for the postive review. I do need to clarify a few things. 1. I am skeptical about the long term results with low level light lasers. I would not say it is a sham. As I mentioned to you low level light lasers have been used in wound healing with positive benefits. I don't think there is enough data avaliable to assess the efficacy of the various lasers out there.I am preparing a research project with the Univ of South Florida to look at the aspect of apoptosis and these lasers.
