Where should I start?
I had work done by Bosley, Elliot, and Straub. Those were the days of the "plug and pay, and pay, and pay, etc.), and I don't think anyone derived acceptable results (except the people in the brochures).
However, each of the above Drs gave me the usual line: "you are a great candidate, and we can give you the results you want." This was in the 80s and 90s, before follicular unit grafting and a good online resource.
Fortunately, I stumbled on this web site, and I'm awaiting results from what I felt was a very good procedure from Dr. Siporin in W. Los Angeles.
