Dr. Pistone

[OneMission06]

I have been reading lots of the threads on this site and think they're great. I've learned so much and feel prepared to ask the right questions before I get the surgery.

 

I met with Dr. Pistone's hair restoration educator last week for a consultation. He was a nice guy and described Dr. Pistone's work in detail. Although I am confident he does top notch work, there is a lack of his patients on this site. That is concerning because he claims to have performed over 8000 of these surgeries, and the number of Docs doing microscopic HT is relatively small. Is this indicative at all of his work? Do you guys recommend consultations with numerous doctors prior to making a decision, even if it requires going to NY? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I live in the south jersey area. Have you followed up with Dr. Pistones'office since you visited with him? I am eager to seek my first consultation with someone locally, but I'm just doing my research at the moment.

I haven't yet followed up. I will do more research before I go ahead with the procedure. If I follow up I will let you know.

OneMission06 , you can do online consultations. Take really good pictures and you can email them. You will know who you should use if you talk to a few, I dont believe travel should be a factor in this decision, but it is a major convienence if it is.
