Love this forum - been so helpful for me. Now I need some wisdom and advice: I keep watching the Canada border news and it’s not looking positive for the near term. I have a date with Hasson that keeps getting pushed due to border closure. Now I’m waffling if I should just commit to Hasson for whenever that will be, or if going to another top surgeon would still yield similar results. My goal is a one-and-done FUT session. Hasson quoted me 4,500 grafts. I’m NW 4V and need some dense grafts in frontal third. He also wants to fill in the temples. Gabel isn’t far away fro -
I was supposed to have a procedure at H&W but it didnt happen because of the coronavirus. I want to have it as soon as possible because I wont be able to have one until next year (work obligations). So now im thinking of booking a procedure with Shapiro or Konior. The "downside" of Konior for me is that I cant see any review on him except this forum, so I wonder why? And the "downside" of Shapiro is that I cant find any recent results of FUE from him and I dont know much about him (my own dermatologist said he's one of best in the world). I would like to hear your opinions, thank

I'm 16 hours removed from surgery with Dr. Ron Shapiro. Apologies in advance if this is scattered, the drugs are still treating me nicely Posted 2 pictures. Please be gentle, as I'm still beat up and my head looks kind of messy. I'm feeling surprisingly well. I woke up this more with some tenderness but no legitimate pain and no bleeding. Of course, this could change. I'll plan to share progress and pictures regularly for anyone that's interested. 9/28: Pre Op Consult: Traveled from New York to Minneapolis on Monday and went directly to Dr. Ron's office for a consultatio -
Hi All, I first need to thank this forum and the members. I cannot overstate the impact of this forum throughout my journey. After thoroughly researching this forum and having several phone consultations, I figured out that Shapiro medical group is the right option for me. Given the extensiveness of the surgery I needed (photos are attached), I decided to go with Dr. Shapiro. My surgery was on June 19th (three days ago), and currently I am super pleased with the experience. The surgery itself went very smoothly and I didn't feel even a little pain (that could be because Dr. Paul has an exper -
So after lurking around this forum for a while I had decided to dive in head first (pun intended) and go ahead with the transplant. If you'd like to ask me any specific questions I'd be happy to answer. I'll just say that the HT itself was relatively painless and aside from some acceptable uncomfortableness and tenderness in the first 3 weeks the entire process was relatively as smooth as one would expect. I've been taking Finasteride for 2 and half months prior to surgery and I'm using Minoxidil once daily starting 2 weeks after surgery, per Shapiro's instructions. I was a NW 3/4 wi -
Hello everyone! I have scheduled an FUT with H&W, but curious what the forums think of Dr. Shapiro? I am not seeing any recent results on these forums and I curious about his work. Can anyone recommend Shapiro? Does he do good work? Thoughts/comments/concerns?

Should I consider surgeons outside NYC?
aaron1234 replied to indecision2020's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
A common trope on the forum is don't let location be the determining factor in selecting your HT surgeon. I agree with that 100%. However, you've already had three in-person consults with reputable docs in NYC, so if you really clicked with one of them then go for it! If you're still not sure, get more consults with elites like Shapiro, Konior, H&W, etc. Like @Concord75 said, check out True & Dorin as well. -
I have consulted with both Gabel and Hasson in person. Spoke with reps of Cooley and Shapiro via phone. Will those doctors take video consultations? I have leveraged this forum to find past patients of all doctors. Majority have a good experience, so will mark that up as a wash in terms of decision making. Cost and travel are not an issue (aside from Konior’s outlier of price). Quality and long-term satisfaction is my highest priority. Thanks Melvin! Keep up the good work!

Dr Diep FUT Is it Worth it?
hybonix replied to hybonix's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
One last question, but I am curious what the forums think of Dr. Ron Shapiro of Shapiro Medical Group? He has availability sooner than H&W and was curious if Dr. Ron Shapiro is a good alternative or better than H&W. I am not seeing any recent results on these forums and I curious about his work in general. Can anyone recommend Shapiro? Does he do good work? Thoughts/comments/concerns? -

Shapiro or Konior
Melvin-Moderator replied to Eitan sandler's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Dr. Ron Shapiro is one of the forefathers of this site, he was the founders surgeon. Dr. Konior has evolved into one of the industries most respected surgeons. They are both excellent choices, my suggestion is to consult with both and talk to past patients. -
Shapiro or Konior

Two hall of famers. Most people don't post their results. You're lucky if 6 a year do which is probably no more than 2% per annum. You may find more Shapiro results on Hair loss Experiences. I think Dr Josephitis does all the FUE extractions for Ron and Paul, but the latter do the designs, incisions, and maybe the critical placement in the front hairline...unless things have changed since I last looked. I'm sure Dr J also does his own patients. -

I've had 2 FUE's with Dr. Ron Shapiro. I'm not big on posting pics so you won't be able to see, but I can assure you these 2 procedures for me were completely life changing. He is a master at creating natural hairlines. I've never once had anybody ask me if I've done anything. -
What protein powder do you use?
ADuckwithNoHair replied to Nounours's topic in Physical Fitness Issues
You may want to avoid creatine as it's been linked to an increase in DHT. Also, according to Dr. Larry Shapiro and Dr. Cooley, whey protein concentrate is better for hair than isolate (link to small sample study). I have no experience with either of these though. -
Shapiro Recommendation?
hybonix replied to hybonix's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Thank you for all the help. H&W is my first choice, but I believe the Canadian border won’t open back up until Spring of 2021 at this point. American cases need to dramatically decline for Canada to even consider Re-opening. So, I will opt for Dr. Ron Shapiro. Cooley and Gabel were on my list as well, but Shapiro is legendary on these forums and has many many years of experience, so I feel comfortable going to him now. I also like his work, but I’ll start a new thread once I make the final choice. I cannot wait until I share my results as they are going to be dramatic. -
Cooley, Gabel, or Shapiro is my list of US Surgeons. I wish Shapiro had more recent results and cannot comment on his recent work. Cooley looks fantastic but he is really booked up. Waiting on Gabel's response. Edit: Gabel is booked up until December. Cooley is booked until Dec/January timeframe.

Shapiro Recommendation?
aaron1234 replied to hybonix's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
You are referencing Dr. Ron Shapiro, founder of Shapiro Medical Group in Minneapolis, correct? A pioneer, one of the best in the biz. -
The top two midwest surgeons happen to be among the top surgeons in the world. Dr. Ron Shapiro and Dr. Raymond Konior.

Shapiro does not want to graft more than what is absolutely necessary for the future as your balding could progress. They want to reserve your donor hair for future procedures and ensure that you can add more if you absolutely need it. You may be super happy with 3000 and it look great so adding more is not necessary. Additionally, if you need to add more later, they can target the weaker areas instead of just filling in too densely in areas that may need that much coverage. It's about the illusion of density and if they can spread that across your head instead of concentrating in the frontal

Looks like US-Canada border is closing another 30 days. ☹️ Dang - I was really hoping to get into Hasson and Wong for a procedure and heal up during work from home this summer. Does anyone know of other clinics open that are US-based? I would really prefer Dr Hasson as I need 4-5k grafts and I love his work, but considering Cooley, Gabel and Shapiro if they can get me in within the next month or so.

You should try Shapiro or Konior. Canada border will not re-open until early 2021 or March of next year until a formidable vaccine is released. Otherwise, we have to play the waiting game.

Hi all, I've been lurking the forums for a while but felt the need to make an account because I could not find the answers to my questions alone. While parsing some of the threads from this website, along with other resources online, and while I have found a general consensus for what the general approach is to maximize your available donor hairs, which is of course a concern for those of us headed, or already at, a high Norwood level, I still had some questions unresolved. The consensus that I've gathered is: Maximize as much as you can from FUT, and once that is done, fill in the r -
This is going to extended through early 2021 for sure. 80% Canadians approve border closure and it's making me evaluate US Surgeons. I think I may go with Shapiro if he has a sooner date available, which he does.
