Senior Member the B spot Posted March 5, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2007 Very good point.... I make it a common response to tell every prospective patient to ask how long each member of the staff has been with a particular Dr. Under 2 years is a red flag IMO, unless the tech worked at another top clinic and relocated, etc.... I think at most top clinics the turnover is very low--- the Docs know that the techs are very important and how hard it is to find a high quality tech.

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 This is an interesting topic. Since the techs do actually place the grafts, it's pertinent that they be highly trained. Even going into my first two hair transplants, I didn't really think to ask those questions. I did, however, ask those questions for my third HT, but it was AFTER I've already selected the doctor. I think you'll find for the most part, that the well respected physicians have well respected technicians. After all, they are a vital part of the process Off topic: I believe this is my 2000th post Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NervousNelly Posted March 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2007 In some respects, the techs are almost as equally important as the doc. Wasn't there a recent poster where the techs drew the hairline, etc. Damn that was grim. NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.
