This is my first post. I've been reading the posts regarding MHR and it's sad that some people have had bad experiences with them. It's also sad when people ask for opinions on a particular MHR doctor and the first thing some people say are, "Run, don't walk, away from MHR", "it's a hair mill", etc. No one seems to reply to the question being asked. They just bunch all the MHR doctors into one big 'MHR group' and tell people to run for the hills. Well, I just want to tell you about my experience with MHR (I know, someone will hurry up and say that I'm one of the lucky ones).
I had a 1500 graft HT in October 2004 by Dr. Holt at the MHR Detroit office and I am very pleased with the results. In fact, I'm going for my second 1000 graft HT by Dr. Holt in a few weeks.
I had free follow-ups every four months and MHR contacted me on schedule to set them up. The customer service was very good.
Some of the posts that claim that Dr. Holt is new at this are several years old, so he has had quite a bit of experience since then. I hate to see, in my opinion, a good doctor get a reputation just because MHR has gotten a bad rap. Like many of you have said, "Judge the individual doctor. Don't put them all in the same group just because some people are disappointed with their results". That's like getting crappy service at a particular McDonalds and then boycotting all of them.
I'm going to see if I can get some copies of my 'before' pictures from Dr. Holt so I can post them here and also take some 13-14 month post-ops from my first HT.
That's my story. Before anyone gets any ideas:
No, I am not a mole for MHR.
No, I don't work for MHR.
No, I'm not getting paid by anyone to say this.
I'm just a satisfied customer.
I hope everyone, no matter what doctor/company they choose, has as good an experience as I had.
