I'm sure it has been covered on this forum many times but which surgeon would you recommend if location and price is not an issue? For Norwood Grade IV, presumably around 4,000 to 4,500 grafts ideally using FUE (FUT doesn't look appealing). I have seen on this forum that Muresanu, Couto, Konior, Keser, Hasson and Lorenzo have been referred to as “super elites”. Is that all of the super elites in the world? What about Robert Bernstein in NYC? Who would you ultimately choose and why? (again ignoring price and location). -
Hello there folks - long time lurker in this forum. I finally decided to go in for my procedure this week. I chose Dr. Scott Alexander in Phoneix for my procedure. I had consulted with a few other doctors as well, and all of them gave me pretty much the same recommendations (except one): 1. Dr. Blake Bloxham - 2500 - 3000 FUT 2. Dr. Jae Pak - 2000 - 2500 FUT 3. Dr. Sahar Nadimi(Konior) - 2500 - 3000 FUT 4. Dr. Shaver (Bernstein) - 2500 FUT 5. Dr. Hasson - 5000 FUE 6. Dr. Alexaner 3000+FUT I also tried contacting Dr. Gabel a couple of times, but didn't get a response. I -
I know they're no longer recommended here but realistically for FUE at this Norwood the only clinics getting anything close to full coverage via FUE are ASMED with Erdogan in Turkey as well as Lorenzo,arguably Couto although he tends to operate on patients without that level of loss and has at least 3 years on his waiting list. Bernstein is what I would consider to be part of an older, more conservative generation of surgeons that ultimately don't hold up to that present elite despite being important to the industries development. If you're a genuine NW6 your best bet would likely be to -
1400 graft FUE FULL journey
Melvin-Moderator replied to Dangrowthfactor's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Six months is early, but given the area that was covered, I think it's clear more grafts are necessary for optimal density. I would give it a few more months before consulting with other surgeons. A few on the east coast worth consulting with is Dr. Wesley, Bernstein, True and Dorin, and Bloxham. Although, i'm not sure Bloxham will agree to do FUE.- 103 replies

Hello everyone. I have been browsing this forum obsessively for a while. I feel I have benefited a lot from the awesome info here. Thank you! I have been considering a hair transplant (leaning toward FUT but open to FUE). I am 30 year old, NW3, based in NYC. I have met with Wesley, Bernstein, and Bloxham. They all recommend 2000-2800 grafts (FUT or FUE by Wesley and Bernstein, FUT only by Bloxham). I am still deciding between the three of them but just realized that there is really no need to restrict myself to NYC. Let's say I don't care about cost and am willing to travel anywher -
They probably aren't bad and fall into the very conservative HT Surgeon bracket along side the likes of Bernstein, Farjo, Carmen etc. That is not a bad thing in itself, but less likely to please younger patients. I had a quick look at some results and not sure I rate the hairline artistry tbh. -
Hello my balding brothers, I recently decided to take the plunge. Earlier this month I booked a procedure date with Dr. Pak from NHI. However I am not able to find any patient reviews on this forum. Am I missing something? His reviews on realself are great, but that's about it. I would like to see some real patient journeys. Please let me know your thoughts on this. So i decided to consult with some more doctors. I have consults with Dr Scott Alexander in Phoenix, Dr Nadami (Konior) in Chicago and Dr Shaver(Bernstein) in NY. Which among these would you recommend? Just for

Bernstein apparently uses artas for FUE (on his website) which most would argue to avoid. Konior is more conservative (and more expensive) than Hattingen, although the FUE work ive seen from both clinics looks top notch. I think there are laws in Germany preventing Hattigen from showing patient results which means your research might be limited. Admittedly your final list is a bit strange because all clinics are probably better known for their FUT skills. I guess it would be good to consult with them all. Good luck -
So I think I have narrowed it down to Konior or Hattingen... Thoughts? Bernstein has been doing this for a long time but doesn't seem to get a lot of mention these days or am I wrong?

I’m sure you guys get asked for suggestions constantly, but I’ve been doing research on HT doctors for several months now (if you counted simply perusing photo galleries here and there, you could say years), and I find myself so indecisive in choosing one. Some background on me: I’m looking to get the transplant at 24. I started losing hair at 15, hopped on min at 20, added fin at 22, and I’ve seen no additional hairloss and even some gains over the last few years. I also wanted to get an eyebrow filled in a bit from a scar. Nothing too crazy, but it’s important to me.

Looking for recommendations
Melvin-Moderator replied to jlf2610's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I haven’t seen one negative review about H&W FUE. You have very different doctors there, bernstein is a pioneer in strip, Baubac is part of a clinic that sued us years back for not removing negative reviews. I would use this forum for a research tool and look at actual patient reviews. -
what is the outgoing price for FUE graft in USA compare to other countries. which clinic do you recommend. i am from connetcut. i got a price of $19 500 for 3000 graft in NY using the robot. I just want to know if is it to expensive ?
LonelyGraft replied to rica's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Artas is a huge no. Do a lot more research on this site/forum before you pull the trigger. Did u see Bernstein by chance? I believe he still utilizes artas. -
You caught me keep up the vids man, you're one of a kind! Yep, unfortunately I don't have any good surgeons near me to see in person, so I ordered a microscope to examine things myself. I'd love if someone was experienced with such cases in the USA, but it seems not too many people take it seriously. I know Rassman and Bernstein wrote about the condition and would likely have some good insights, but I don't think they have the best results. -
According to the below presentation Dr. Lorenzo gave about DUPA it states that actually it was O’Tar Norwood in 1975 that named DUPA along with the Norwood scale. He also states that Bernstein and Rassman wrote again about DUPA in 2002. Nowadays Lorenzo is the foremost authority on DUPA. -
Hello all, I'm in New York, and am looking into hair transplants as my hair is thinning on top. Given the state of things, and my finances, I'm not keen to travel for a transplant. I've looked on Yelp for reviews but imagine those can't be trusted. (I'm also unsure of my options for treatment, so getting good advice is a factor!) So far Bernstein Medical seems like the most trustworthy place. Does anyone have strong feelings about a particular practice? Thanks!

Okay, so I've been scouring this forum for results posted by Dr. Wesley's office, and I've noticed that you're pretty skeptical of his abilities. I've looked into doctors in New York including Bloxham, Shaver, Dorin and Wesley. I'm leaning towards Wesley now. I was really apprehensive when I saw his results because I thought the same thing as you seem to think. For NW 2/3 recession, he gets pretty meager coverage for the numbers of grafts he uses. But the specific technique he uses actually has a unique appeal compared to a lot of HT docs, at least to me. His whole thing is not just covering t -
Hair transpants in New York
Huw replied to Huw's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Thanks lots for taking the time to reply. I will post pictures shortly when I've better light, but essentially it's the entirety of my scalp that's thinning, plus some recession at the front. I'm willing to travel the Eastern Seaboard, of course--I suppose I just imagined it'd surely be possible to find a good person here in NY. I did indeed check the Prescreened Physician listing for NY, which recommends Bernstein, Dorin, True, Wesley and Bloxham, all names I've seen around. If anyone has advice on likely price ranges I'd welcome that also. And apologies if my questions are crazily broad -
Wanted to do a short post of a short research I did while looking for a doctor to do my FUE procedure. I have been only considering FUE because I only need about 1,700 graph and I do not want the linear scar. For me price/location is not an issue. As all of you I just want the best. Therefore I reached out to: H&W, Lupanzula, Konior, Bernstein, Lorenzo All of them were very easy to communicate with, normally within 24 hours. I understand technicians will be assisting doctors during the procedure, so I wanted to learn the actual involvement of the doctor vs. the technician. The

Dr. Wesley, Dr. Bloxham, Dr. Bernstein, True and Dorin. I would also take a look at Rahal in Canada.

Dr Lindsey, doesnt this go against the graft anchoring study done by Dr Rassman and Bernstein? Their study found that by day 8 or so, grafts were never dislodged even when pulling a scab or hair. Given that most doctors nowadays use smaller incisions than what was cited in the study, this should be even less of an issue? Just want your opinion on this. -
Importance of Harvest - Incisions - Implants
Zizou88 replied to Zizou88's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Thanks for the responses and help. I understand the good results the clinic has followed the same process. I think I might be more comfortable with another top clinic where the doc is more hands on. Recently reached out to Bernstein Medical - they mentioned "All surgical aspects of the procedure are done by Dr. Bernstein or Dr. Shaver. Technicians check grafts, sort them, and place them into the scalp". Personally will be more comfortable with this type of involvement. -
In 1989 I was a college freshman with thin hair that was starting to fall out. Graduated in 1993 and had considerable hair loss. By 1994 I was almost done hair-wise, very traumatic for a young man who is just starting his life, I freaked. That winter, watching a late night informercial on HT's, I though I had the answer. After two consultations with the 'Dr.', I fell for the micro/mini graft, very small scar, full head of hair, etc from this Long Island Medical practice. No internet at the time and I didn’t even know plugs were a thing and as been repeated as I have recently read up on numerou
