JESTERSCORT Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'm scheduled to have a phone consultation soon with Matt from Shapiro Medical Group. Does anyone have suggestions for questions that I should ask him. Many of you have already been through the process and I'm just trying to cover all the bases.

Regular Member icare4myhair Posted September 25, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2006 Jesterscort, I had my HT with Dr.Ron shapiro on Sep 7. You can check my blog for more details. My very first conversation with Matt lasted about 1.5 hours. He took me through several HT related material, and addressed all my questions patiently. I also addressed some of these questions further in detail with Dr.Ron and Matt in person in MN , the day prior to my HT. You may want to focus on reviewing your pics (i hope you have sent some pics to him before your scheduled phone call), and mainly discussing the procedure best suited for you - your goals/expectations, approximate number& location of grafts vis.a vis your donor availaibility, future planning, rates, pre and post op procedure etc. Matt also brought up other relevant details, where applicable, that I had not thought of. I am confident that you wont regret choosing Dr.Ron Shapiro for your HT. Good luck with your HT, if you decide to go with it. icare4myhair 2523 grafts - Dr.Ron Shapiro, Sep7, 2006 GRAFT STATISTICS 1hair -#grafts,#hairs- 450 , 450 2hair -#grafts,#hairs-1373, 2746 3hair -#grafts,#hairs- 650 , 1950 4hair -#grafts,#hairs- 50 , 200 TOTAL-#grafts,#hairs-2523, 5346 My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESTERSCORT Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks for sharing your blog. Looks great so far. I am sending pix out tomorrow. Not really looking forward to a long term regime with Rogaine or other products. Did they address the length of follow up with such products?

Regular Member icare4myhair Posted September 25, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2006 My long term regime , post HT , at this moment consists of the following: 1)Propecia 2)Dermavite (Doc suggested both Dermavite and MSM and if I had to choose one, he asked me to go with Dermavite). This, I guess would be optional. 3)He also suggested rogaine beginning a month post HT, if I was ok with it. Also, seems like a new version of rogaine will be out shortly, which will be easier to use. So, for now, I am sticking only to Propecia and Dermavite as my post HT regime. Post HT, you would at least have to take propecia in your long term interests of preserving your native hair and possible growing some hair near the crown area. icare4myhair 2523 grafts - Dr.Ron Shapiro, Sep7, 2006 GRAFT STATISTICS 1hair -#grafts,#hairs- 450 , 450 2hair -#grafts,#hairs-1373, 2746 3hair -#grafts,#hairs- 650 , 1950 4hair -#grafts,#hairs- 50 , 200 TOTAL-#grafts,#hairs-2523, 5346 My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
