Senior Member Dewayne Posted February 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2008 The best advice I can give you is the same that was given to me a couple of months back: SLOW DOWN.... Spend the next couple of months doing some research and stay the heck away from Bosley. If I were on the West Coast, I'd check with Dr. Alexander in Arizona - though I'm sure some can recommend good docs in Cali. It looks like there are Three (3) recommended in Southern California. Look up at the "Find a Physician" tab and start doing some research. Don't rush out and make a mistake! Believe me, pretty soon you'll be 35 and still be interested in looking half way normal, so you don't want to get messed up now. 100?

Senior Member notgoing2gobald Posted February 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2008 Bosley SUCKS!!! they are a hair-mill. the Mcdonalds of ht's. So many guys have come to this forum AFTER having been butchered by a psuedo-doc (which there are PLENTY in this industry) and are left with a massive scar, pluggy hair line, and very poor *THIN/WEAK* results... Worst of all, one only has so much donor hair available and they are basically wasted by these poor docs. Check out the coalition docs on this forum. They are tried and true. They have to meet very specific criteria to be considered a "coalition doc" on this forum; including not having more than 3 substantive complaints against them AND for every serious complaint, they always adress and resolve the issue. Im in Sourhtern California as well. Check out Hasson and Wong which is just a short flight away as they are (in my mind) the BEST. are you on meds? 22 is young, but others have had ht's at this age. what is the extent of your loss? family history? some food for thought: http://www.hairtransplantmentor.com/ http://www.hairlosshelp.com/websites/shuffle/ http://www.hairlosshelp.com/websites/london_lad/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted February 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2008 Keep researching, and do a couple consults (online or live) with some bonefied great clinics (a Coalition doc would be a good start). In California, Siporin seems to be getting very good feedback. Before you make sure you go through with an HT make sure you really understand what the process is like -- the recovery, the expected results, future procedures which may be necessary, etc. I don't think your age makes you an illegitmate candidate necessarily, especially if you really understand what is going on and all the pros and cons. Make sure you are making a totally educated decision, basically. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Naveed, Welcome to our forum. Spend some time researching hair transplantation in order to learn whether or not you are a good candidate. Selecting a quality physician is vital to ensure a successful hair transplant experience. Don't let location limit your selection of a fine physician. However, here are some names of some excellent physicians in your area to begin researching. These physicians are elite members of the Coalition who are well known in the industry and have a proven track record of performing quality results. See our high level of membership criteria for the Coalition by clicking here. Dr. Reed in La Jolla, CA Dr. Rassman in LA, CA Dr. Gabel of Portland, OR Dr. Hasson of Vancouver, CN Dr. Wong of Vancouver, CN These physicians are also recommended: Dr. Siporin in LA, CA (also being considered for the Coalition) Dr. Meshkin in Newport Beach, CA Dr. Kabaker in Oakland, CA To learn how we recommend physicians including the difference between members of the Coalition and those who are recommended, click here. Best wishes in restoring your hair, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member beachair Posted February 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2008 Several of us on the forum have had work by Dr. Siporin (West L.A.), and we're very pleased. In any case, do your research. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Does anyone else wonder why Naveed removed his question and additional posts? I really wish that members would commit to their posts. If you are going to ask a question or post a thought/comment, commit to it please.

Senior Member the B spot Posted February 23, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hmmmmm... that is odd....I wonder if his post was simply to see what the "response" would be? Maybe he was not a patient, just someone working for someone who wanted information? Interesting.
