Regular Member jojojo1 Posted July 8, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted July 8, 2007 Does anyone know of any good hair surgeons in Sydney Australia? Also if you do not recommend hair transplant for a 23 year old, what would be the next best solution who wants to restore a small area crown area? For some reason one side of my head has receeded more than the other side (nearly twice as much)is this normal? So i just want to restore the worst side first. Thanking you in advance.

Senior Member el guapo Posted July 15, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2007 Dr Knudsen double bay, dr Marla Martinick. (May have spelt their names wrong) Both have decent reputations and I think they only do strip. The US doctors are probablt better tho, Armani Hasson & Wong etc. Dr Woods, the inventor of FUE is in Sydney as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member the B spot Posted July 15, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2007 There is no doc in Australia worth going to other than Woods. However, he desires your first-born for his services. Take some clear pics and at 23, you need to research some FUE docs for a 500-1000 graft touch-up in the crown. However, you should know that chasing a bald-crown spot at an early age is a recipe for disaster.

Administrators Pat - Community Publisher Posted July 17, 2007 Administrators Share Posted July 17, 2007 There is no doc in Australia worth going to other than Woods. Actually, there is an excellent surgeon in Australia who has been recommended on the Hair Transplant Network for over four years now with quality patient reviews. Her name is Dr. Jennifer Martinick. As for Dr. Ray Woods, B Spot I hope you don't believe all his self serving hype. The real truth about him is well documented on this forum going back over five years, including his attempts to sell his FUE secrets to physicians in seminars costing over $100,000 rather than share such info openly like ethical physicians regularly do. Thank God he didn't have a secret cure for cancer :-) Of course, physicians went around and over him once they found out there was no real secret but rather a lot of smoke and mirrors.

Senior Member the B spot Posted July 17, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2007 No, I think Dr. Woods is a competant HT doc, just way over-priced and way to full of himself. The point of my reference was to prompt a look at the States or Cananda. Your 100% right in your assessment of his ethical stance regarding his "school" Because Dr. Martinick is only a recommended doc, and I believe our job is to steer people to the BEST docs we can, I would not feel comfortable sending someone to Dr. Martinick first. Obviously, if one could not leave Australia and one was ok with doing sessions of 1500-1800(I believe she does not do larger sessions) grafts regardless of level of baldness, then I would say Dr. Martinick would be the best choice. However, I will do my best to make sure a TOP Coalition doc is considered first.

Regular Member jojojo1 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hi everyone, thank you all for the help and advice. I have heard a lot about Dr Martinick and she seems to have a good reputation but i think she is quite expensive. I have contacted her, and she does perform FUE, which is what i am after. B Spot, why would you not recommend people to see Dr Martinick as she is quite reputatle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Dave, what happened with Martinick? How did she butcher you? How were you tricked? What was her response to your issues? Has she attempted to assist you? All these questions... Bundy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member DaveJoseph Posted October 12, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2007 ok ill start off by saying i used to post on hairlosstalk and i was 23 years and did not do my research,I listened to damos advice to go see martinick.I went and seen one of her staff at there clinic in bondi.They said they would do 800 FUE for me for about $9.500,When i went to have my 2nd consultation with martinick herself she told me she was an expert in FUE and that it was her specialty.I went ahead with the operation not knowing what would happen.When the op was over i was very exited i could see the scabs where the grafts where placed looked pretty good and i couldnt wait for my hair to grow.unfortunatley around 60% of the hair grafts actully grew.After many times of going back to see her she told me it wasnt her fault .That i had further hairloss.but the thing is where i had the grafts done i was completley bald.she didnt want to know about it.When i told her to check my preop photos she told me they had been lost .I practically begged her to try and fix my hair she refused.I now have only about 3 grand to get my hair fixed.This is not enouth though.I am forced to shave my head now because the hair growth from the transplant is very thin and looks stupid grown out.A hairdresser told me my hair looked stringy i think thats the best way to describe it.

Regular Member jojojo1 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2007 DaveJoseph, sorry to hear about your bad running with Dr Martinick mate. I went to her clinic in Bondi as well about a month ago now and man let me tell you, it was not what i expected, considering the reputation she has over here. It was in a little crappy Private hospital building with other surgeons. I have made a post recently about my experience. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/showthread.php?t=149122 I dont want to sound to negative about you dave, but your the first person i have come across that has had problems with Dr Martinick. I have spoken to a number of patients of hers and they are all very happy with her work. As with Damo, he has helped me out heaps. He replies to all my emails on questions i have. But you have to admit that they did a good job on Damo. Maybe she is just not good with FUE, but good with strip. When i went to her initial consultation, they didnt recommend FUE to me even though it was about 600-800 grafts for the temple. So i think shes only good with the strip method. However Dr Knudsen is also worth a visit. I have made another appointment with him to see if i can get some work done on the temple area. I didnt want to get Dr Martinick to do it cause she was charging alot more than Dr Knudsen and also her staff did not seem as useful as Dr Knudsens. He actually got me to go on propecia straight away and gave me a 6 months prescription (based on taking 3 pills a week instead of everyday) and told me to go back and see him when it runs out. But for some reason over the last month or 2 my hair has receeded even faster, so now i think i need more than 1000 grafts to fix the temple. By the way, i have a quick question for everyone. Has anyone who just started propecia feel that you hair loss in the hairline receeded faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member guyfromsydney Posted October 13, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 13, 2007 do you have pictures jojjojo? what were the prices charged? Are they pretty up front about their pricing policy? Do either of those doctors make any guarantees? or make any suggestions about the ssuccess rate of their transplants? how long until you can get boooked in for surgery with knudsen? what is the waiting period? what did he say about taking propecia every second day ? why do you do that instead of everyday? is it still effective? Have you suffered any other side effects from propecia? tell me everything jo jo jo. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member guyfromsydney Posted October 22, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 22, 2007 Dr Knudsen If anyone knows anything about this doctor or has been to him can you please let me know. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member guyfromsydney Posted October 29, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 29, 2007 dr knudsen in sydney, has advertised i think about 1500 grafts for $10 k $12.6 k for 2000 Does anyone know if those prices are cheap or expensive compared to other surgeons in Australia? Does anyone have any estimates of other surgeons in sydney? Does anyone know how much that female Australian coalition dr charges? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member guyfromsydney Posted October 30, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 30, 2007 Bill, I forgot which thread i asked, but i wanted to know if i could put up a link to a surgeon in sydney? is that ok? I am considering going there for my HT, but was hoping some of you smart and experienced ht veterans could give me your impressions of the site and his services? If you think it looks professional or shit? how qualified he is etc? Do i have permission to post the address up? just for a few days?? Thank you Bill. There are coalition drs in Australia correct? do you know of any price schedules they have online? What do you mean when you suggest they are coalition drs? does that just mean they pay you to advertise? or they actually met some standards or are members of some professional organisation?

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 guyfromsydney, Feel free to post a link to the surgeon you are considering. I'd suggest however, that you start your own thread so that you get proper attention focused on you as this is jojojo1's thread. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
