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 -
Hi everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm sitting here in my hotel one day post op after getting the morning cleaning and repositioning of the grafts, and I have some time to kill. So, I figured I would write out hairloss story as well as my experience with Dr. Steven Gabel and his team of excellent technicians. This is my baseline photo the day I started minoxidil and finasteride on September 21st, 2018. The photo on the right is when I resigned myself to being bald sometime around March of 2018. Photo on the left is three months into treatment, -
It's a difficult case, man. I get that it's a hard thing to give up temporal points, as they really do frame your face better. In my opinion, however, density in the frontal third and grafts in the bank for crown work is more important. You are slick bald in the frontal third and most of your vertex, and could very well be slick bald in the crown within the next 15 years. I don't think having the temporal points of Brad Pitt is a realistic outcome. Dr. Gabel is conservative, but he is rightfully so. There are no guarantees when it comes to hair restoration surgery. The only thing worse th

Who inserts the grafts?
LaserCap replied to firsttime's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Typically it is the doctor who will do the extracting, and make sites. (If a site is made in a particular way, /, the graft can only go in that way as well. It could not possibly go in \. There are doctors that like getting involved with placing, check out Dr. Gabel. What you have to realize is the fact that this is not a regulated industry. There are groups out there where the grafts are harvested by a tech. It's also been known some techs will make sites and do the entire procedure themselves. The question then becomes, what schooling do they have. There has to be a differen -
Hey all, These are my top two picks. I was about to go with Dr Mohebi before covid-19 but now have some second thoughts after reading some reviews here that his technicians do significant amount of the work. I know for a fact that Dr Gabel does all of the extraction work himself. Any recent patients of either of those doctors that could help add more color ? -
Hi all, I'm considering getting my first fue procedure with Dr.Gabel. I'm also considering Dr. Nadimi but leaning much more heavily toward Dr. Gabel. Anyone have a poor experience or bad outcome with Dr. Gabel?

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. -
Dr. Gabel was fantastic, the only thing I'm waiting for is the final result. Absolutely no complaints regarding his bedside manner, his work ethic, or his process for the procedure itself. Everything was done correctly and he even put in half the grafts himself while another technician did her half. He also has a surgical background in face and neck surgery, which means his scar work is really good. Oh, and he models a lot of his practice on Dr. Konior, who taught him much of what he knows.

Dear Community, I wanted to let you guys know that Dr. Gabel's office has recently opened back up, after being closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I know there are a lot of unanswered questions, like "can you bring someone with you," or "are the hair transplant session sizes smaller due to personnel restriction." I will be sending all of your questions to Dr. Gabel, there is no dumb question. Whether its regarding finasteride usage after surgery, or just how long the wait is at his clinic. Please ask any question that comes to mind - this is your opportunity to have legitimate hair -
Considering Dr.Gabel

Dr. Gabel is an excellent choice, there’s a member here who has nothing but great things to say. Send him a pm @ShadowMoon -
Okay, day 7. This'll be my last post for maybe a month, or I might do one after I take out all the staples. My goal was to give a good, comprehensive 7 day post-op for those nervous about getting a hair transplant, or those who have just gotten one and are a little nervous about what's happening. It is a nerve wracking time, for sure. For those getting FUT, it consists of being paranoid about putting your chin down because of stretching. There is discomfort laying your head on anything resembling a hard surface due to the staples, not to mention the weird sensation of cleaning in between

Derminator hurt pretty bad. I don't plan to continue microneedling, I don't think it's realistic for me to do long term. I had residual redness for about 3 days every time I did it with 1.25mm. Maybe 1mm won't be as bad. I went in with longer hair, I think it helps with determining the direction of the surrounding hairs when placing the grafts. If Dr. Gabel had wanted to shave my head, I told him he could do whatever made the job easier. Not having my hair cut on day 2 would've made the last two days worse, because of the tendency for hairs to get stuck in the oozing from the recipient zo

I've been in contact with Dr. Gabel about the folliculitis and not only did he respond to my original email within minutes at 8 PM, he also emailed me this morning asking for update pictures. Really blown away by that.

Dr. Gabel is the kind of surgeon to fly to you in his own plane for a check up appointment on a Sunday.
-
I have to disagree with karate kid, the FUE cases I’ve seen on this forum have been just as good as their FUT. Just go in the advanced search page and look up “H&W FUE“ and make the conclusion yourself. In my opinion, if you’re already close to H&W and you have the money, it’s really a no-brainer. The only other surgeon worth considering is Dr. Gabel in Portland.

Dr. Gabel is a classy gentleman, sign of a great surgeon.

Hey guys, I wanted to post a quick day 3 update. Day 1 was great, day 2 was pretty bad. Went to second check up appointment and Dr. Gabel noticed mild folliculitis. He prescribed some antibiotics and told me to apply some polysporin after cleaning the next day. It looked bad all day yesterday. I even sent out a paranoid email with some pictures last night, which isn't really like me. Anyway, here's a visual. Image on the left is day 2 before bed, image on the right is day 3 this morning after taking a spray bottle to it. Those antibiotics kicked in fast. Area in the for

Stop acting like a child. If he doesn't want to tell you that's his business. What If I just kept asking you post pictures of your hair? Ok but post pictures of your hair. Do you see how that could be annoying and childish. We all post here on free-will, no one is here to bend to your will. Behave, or you'll be gone. My only warning. You can easily submit an online consultation with Dr. Gabel yourself and find out the cost. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/physician/Oregon/Steven-Gabel/633

How does it looked combed back or to one side? It looks like it’s kinda spread apart. Have you spoken to Dr. Gabel about your concerns? I’m truly sorry, on the bright side, it definitely looks like an improvement.

I haven’t been able to get a hold of Dr. Gabel, I’ll reach out to him again. -
Best (!) doctors for FUE ?
Melvin-Moderator replied to Dodocc's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Dr. Gabel is underrated, I’d also include Dr. Vories. -
Hello all, I finally bit the bullet. To give everyone a rundown I’m 39 years old this year. I live out of Austin, TX but I’m from closer to the Houston area. I started thinning when I was 18 and I tried everything to slow down the process, admittedly without a lot of knowledge back then. This was 1998 and I didn’t know much about propecia or minoxidil. I tried shampoos and all kinds of gimmicks. I did try propecia and minoxidil liquid but because I didn’t know enough about it and didn’t see immediate results I just stopped and got on with my life. It all started in my crown and then -
Some of those doctors you listed are industry pioneers who have literally set the benchmark for the rest of the industry and have been considered “elite” for over twenty years. That is why their names are understandably constantly recommended on here by ex patients and many people who haven’t even had a procedure done by them. It doesn’t mean Dr. Vories doesn’t do good work. You can ask that question about a lot of doctors. Why isn’t Dr. Gabel mentioned more often along with them? Why isn’t Drs. True & Dorin mentioned? Or Dr. Wesley? That’s why it’s important to research and search pr
