Senior Member NervousNelly Posted June 2, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2007 Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement. If it weren't for this site and all of the help from many of you, I still might be just trolling the net and dreaming about oneday getting some of my youth back. Folica, As stated earlier in a post, my wife became more of a factor in the decision with ofcourse my feedback based on my research. She had nailed down these options: Dr. Ron Shapiro Dr. Rahal Dr. Hasson Dr. Rose Dr. Keene I told her that Dr. Rose and Keene use to work for Shapiro and likely were trained by him. With that information and the fact that Pat (editor of site) had his HT from Shapiro she pushed me in that direction. Seriously though, some of the best in the world are products of SMG.

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted June 2, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2007 Irish Homer, For whatever reason I never considered Dr. Feller. I'm not really sure why as all the work that I have seen of his is top notch and I appreciate his input on this forum. I actually believe he is one of the top 3 or certainly 5. When I think more about it I believe it comes down to location. Please don't anyone take offense, but the New York area doesn't thrill me. I am not into the hustle and bustle of a huge city and mass amounts of people. Probably if Shapiro was located there I would be looking elsewhere. Thats just me. I'm a pretty simple person in that respect. When my wife and I head into Detroit area (we live within 30 miles roughly) she drives. LOL NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted June 3, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hairbank, Thats awesome. I'm glad to know of someone that we can follow each others progress. Ofcourse I'll be a few thousand Fu behind you interms of transplanted grafts but maybe I make up for that with native hair??? Should be cool to have a bud going thru things at same time.

Senior Member hairbank Posted June 3, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2007 You've got tons more native hair than I did before HT #1, my friend, so not to worry. I think it's gonna be awesome for you! Not to mention you'll be in the hands of an excellent Doc!! We'll definitely have to track progress together, bro!

Senior Member Janna Posted June 4, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 4, 2007 New Nelly, I'm looking forward to seeing you here at SMG in August. I read above that you are on your own regimen of Finasteride. Are you also on Rogaine as well? Last week, another HT doctor was able to show about 20 well documented "before/after" pics of his patients who are using both Finast. and Rogaine. None of the patients had a HT. The difference was amazing all the same. Rogaine by itself is okay, Propecia is better if you had to choose. But, I can't say enough about using both. To Hairbank and NN, It's funny that I've now worked for both Shapiro and Wong at two separate surgery demonstrations in the last 6-7 months. Dr. Wong on one side and Dr. Shapiro on the other side of the same patient. The lucky patients of both demonstrations were for "dense packing", so they should be happy fellows. The demonstrations are always interesting and fun. Give Angie a hug for me when you're in Vancouver, Hairbank. You'll be in good hands with her. Not to leave you out NN, you'll get a hug too. Good luck to both of you!!!

Senior Member the B spot Posted June 4, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hey NN, there isn't anything to really post right now---- got my hair all grown out from session #2 and it is really difficult to tell exactly what is going on right now. I know I am growing a bit slower than HT #1, which is to be expected--- I plan on taking some 6 month pics right before my brothers wedding--- plus I had a decent amount of grafts placed into the top of my crown so things will be a bit longer there as well. All in all, I would say that my hairline and frontal core look great, and I am just waiting for the results of #2 to kick in---- I am only 5 months post-op, so I still have a long way to go!!!!! BTW--- Make sure Janna keeps her word and gives you a hug... if Matt's there... he'll probably want a hug as well =) J Go Cubs! 6721 transplanted grafts 13,906 hairs Performed by Dr. Ron Shapiro Dr. Ron Shapiro and Dr. Paul Shapiro are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.
