Senior Member NervousNelly Posted February 15, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 15, 2007 I am not aware of any docs period in Cyprus but I can offer one piece of very important advise. Do not hesitate to travel as this will be a lifelong decision. There are only approx. 30 well known highly skilled physicians world wide. Spend a lot of time researching.

Guest Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks I will post some pictures soon.While I was on the net earlier I found a centre called HDC which performs hair transplants.It seems that there are many centres under this name all over the world,like a chain company.Do we have any information on this?

Administrators Pat - Community Publisher Posted February 15, 2007 Administrators Share Posted February 15, 2007 Philippos, I'm not aware of any top hair transplant surgeons in Cyprus. But Transmed in nearby Turkey does some impressive and refined follicular unit work. Their medical director, Dr. Melike Kulahci, is recommended on the Hair Transplant Network in Europe. I suggest you consider them (even though the Turks may have fought over Cyprus if I'm not mistaken).

Guest Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks for your reply,we are not allowed to visit Turkey as we have some issues going over here so no hope for that.I am willing to travel but answear me a question first please.Would you go for surgery to a doctor that you don't know if you were not be able to travel? I am leaving for studies in the states in 1-2 years,do you thing I should leave it for then so I can go to a reputable physisian? Also one more thing,is there a reliable society that can suggest names of physicians that actually do work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Orion Posted February 15, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2007 I would wait till you get to the states. Period. The BEST hair transplant doctors are here (and Canada). Do some more research and I think you will come to this decision. My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
