Senior Member Gorpy Posted October 27, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2005 It is not a secret that coalition members pay dues to support this site. However, not all physicians recommended on this site are members and from my understanding, many that apply are rejected. This fact greatly adds to the credibility of this site. From the coalition web page: "Only those experienced hair restoration physicians who meet these criteria are invited to join our Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. All members contribute dues to support our joint educational resources and services." ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member the B spot Posted October 28, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2005 It would be silly to think that the time and energy spent running this great site did not require money. With that being said, I have met Pat in person, and he strikes me as a stand up guy-- I think it is great that doctors support this site. Trust me, it would not take long for the members of this forum to discover ANY improprieties, if they existed. I for one am glad I discovered this site when I did.

Senior Member Robert_ Posted October 31, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted October 31, 2005 Yes, it is true that physicians invited to be recommended by the Hair Transplant Network pay a fee to that funds the work involved in maintaining the Hair Transplant Network, the Hair Loss Learning Center, and the Hair Restoration Network. This also enables Pat to accomplish the immense task of personally visiting and reviewing hair restoration physicians aross the country as outlined in the ongoing forum Visits to Leading Hair Transplant Clinics. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
