Hello all, I am considering a HT with Dr. Timothy Carman in San Diego. This website recommends him, but reviews are limited. I would love to hear first-hand experience from members. Please PM or reply all. Thanks in advance.

Dr. Timothy Carman Experience
RicoV123 replied to goozer's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Any updated comments on Dr. Carman? Interested on diving to FUE with him since I am local with him. Please help. -
The challenge with this patient was a relatively low yielding donor and large area "needing" grafts. Appropriate placement of grafts in a design pattern that will mimic nature, while maximizing their full potential for growth as non-DHT-sensitive follicular units is a cornerstone in creating artwork that appears natural. 2291 FU grafts were harvested via a conservative strip excision procedure, which assures consistent high quality graft survival and growth for the long-term performance benchmark. The photos are from his 9 Month Post Op visit, wherein approximately 80% of the hair has gro -
LA/OC area surgeons

Oh yeah, many well-known surgeons: Rahal, Mohebi, Rassman, Meshkin, Carman, Alexander, Ross, Reed and so on. But in my estimation the top 5 are out of state. I’d look at Konior, Cooley and Gabel first. In CA, I would go with Carman first. He doesn’t knock your socks off, but I haven’t see him botch one. But don’t take it from me. I haven’t even had surgery, and I just learned about Gabel from @Melvin-Moderator a few days ago, though I’ve since seen quite a lot of his work. Anyway, I’ve tried to convince myself that there’s a rock solid option out here, but I’m not getting good -
Dr Diep FUT Is it Worth it?
1978matt replied to hybonix's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Diep does not seem to offer good value based on the cost and the fact he has 2 surgeries going on at the same time. The incisions he makes seem in a highly linear fashion designed to save time. He should really work to refine his technique and use smaller FUE punches. On the West coast I'd rather opt for H&W, Gabel or Mohebi. Carman is a solid doctor too but not that well followed or flashy compared to other doctors - probably more conservative as well - but nevertheless ethical. -
This patient is a 54 YO male who presented with stabilized crown thinning, not on preventative medical therapy. Plan is to reconstruct the crown and add some density to the posterior midscalp. Total FU Grafts: 1576: 285 one's; 954 two's; 337 three's. Last two photos illustrate typical donor closure result utilizing simple plastics closure.

LA/OC area surgeons
Melvin-Moderator replied to a's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
In LA there’s Mohebi, not sure about OC to be honest. In San Diego theres Dr. Carman, who’s highly rated. In SF area there’s Dr. Diep, who was my surgeon. -
My HT (hair transplant) surgeon was Dr. Timothy Carman out of La Jolla Hair Restoration in San Diego. I rarely write reviews like this but my two HT experiences with Dr. Carman have been amazing and I want others to get a better sense of what a great surgeon he is. I am currently writing this review during day 2 post-op of my second HT with Dr. Carman. I will get into my experience with Dr. Carman a little later in this review. I was 31 years old when I had my first HT. I have always had a receding hairline, even while growing up, but started thinning and further receding in my early 20's -

History: This patient is a pleasant 29 year old male who experienced thinning of his fronto-temporal hairline since the age of 20. He is generally very healthy, with no medical history or previous surgeries. He has become progressively more and more pre-occupied with his hair loss as it has affected his self-esteem, limiting his social activities. The frontal thinning becomes especially apparent after exercise, as the thinning becomes more noticeable when his hair is wet. His family history is significant for fronto-temporal thinning in a similar pattern in his father, 64, that has progressed

I just found out of about him and his work looks great and his prices are dirt cheap. $2 a graph for work above 2500 graphs. Most of my research has been for FUE, but isn't a typical FUT surgery $4 a graph? he's recommended on this site so i'm wondering whats the flaw? -
This patient is a 36 year old male with loss of definition of the frontal hairline and frontal forelock density. Our plan was to recreate a delicate, healthy appearing hairline that will stand the test of time as he continues to lose subsequent hair due to MPHL. His FU grafts were harvested by strip so as to guarantee long lasting, natural results. His donor scar, which is shown in the last photo, shows typical results of conservative surgical plastic closure technique.

This gentleman is a 54 YO male with MPHL affecting his frontal hairline, frontal forelock, midscalp and crown area. His donor area presented a challenge as his donor reserves are less than most men due to a tight scalp and low density of FU's. Average density in most men's donor is about 85-90 FU/cm2. This patient has a density of about 65-70.cm2. It is especially important in cases where donor numbers are low to not "dilute" the effect of the grafting by trying to spread the available supply over too large an area. This is a challenge when that recipient area is large. This case shows the cri

Patient is a pleasant 64 yo male who presents with thinning and temporal recession of the hair line as well as midscalp and crown thinning. Patient underwent traditional strip donor harvest which yielded 2745 FU grafts. He presents at 14 months post op very happy with his result. Note the last couple of photos which demonstrate the very minimal effect a properly planned and executed strip donor harvest can and should achieve.

Patient is a 25 YO male experiencing MPHL affecting the frontal hair line. A conservative hairline was recreated utilizing 1498 FU grafts obtained from a conservative donor strip closed utilizing time-honored plastic surgery closure technique. Donor scar appearance is shown at the 14 month post op mark.
-
This patient is a 32 YO male who experienced loss of definition of the frontal hairline which is consistent with his fathers pattern. There is no family history nor clinical evidence in this patient of crown thinning. Two procedures of 1601 FU grafts and 1609 FU grafts were performed a year apart, to obtain the final hairline shape, location and density. Graft design pattern and robust long term growth were achieved from conservative donor strip harvest, leaving the cosmetic quality in the donor virtually unchanged.

Patient is a 26 yo male with MPHL manifested as a loss of frontal hairline, frontal forelock, crown and midscalp density. The hairline was recreated in a conservative design, frontal forelock and midscalp density were addressed, and the crown underwent a conservative reconstruction. Total FU grafts used: 3092. Donor and graft quality preserved using "FUT" excision.
-
This patient is a 62 YO male who presented with loss of frontal hair line and frontal forelock density. His donor had lower than usual density, about 60 FU/cm2 (vs average of 90 FU/cm2). This resulted in a donor yield of approx 1900 FU grafts. Patient returns at about 15 months post op very happy with the improvement. Note the last photo which demonstrates the typical donor scar from a strip excision when conservative, plastic surgical techniques are employed as standard procedure.

I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since my first FUT. I was 28, panicking and depressed at what was happening. I went into Dr Meshkin and received 1500 grafts to the front and mid section. Couple of years later at the age of 30, I went back for 1800 more grafts, this time I brought my cousin with me who also had 1800 grafts done. I again added 1500 grafts to the front and mid section and 300 to the crown area. I am now 37 and have been thinking of going back in for a 3rd and final procedure to replace the native hair I've lost since those two procedures and thicken my hairline.

Patient is a 42 yo male who presents with an advanced degree of MPHL. Patient had thinning of the HL/FF/Midscalp and crown early in life with stabilization over last ten years without medications. Total 3757 FU total.

Dear Forum Members, Since Dr. Timothy Carman was approved for recommendation in August of 2008, he has and continues to impress this community with examples of his ultra refined results and his passion and dedication to patient education. Coalition member Dr. William Reed who works with him has also become one of his biggest fans.

As the Old Russian Proverb declares 'trust but verify', we wanted solid evidence -
Patient is a male in his late twenties who has been slowly thinning due to Androgenic Alopecia affecting his hairline, frontal forelock, midscalp and bilateral temporal points in a Norwood 5 pattern since his early twenties. He has mild crown involvement as well. Understanding he will continue to have further losses, he understands the need to manage his limited donor in such a fashion that initial transplantation occurs in a limited area which can be addressed in the future without fear that grafts are spread out over too large an area, which would result in a "grafty" appearance later on in
