Hi,

 

Is there a patient of Dr Ochs in Beverly Hills, CA who can provide some first-hand recommendations of his work? Pre and post Op pictures, and any other tips would be just great!

 

Best Regards,

Would also like to hear if anyone has any thoughts to share about Dr Ochs work, from what they might have heard from reliable sources etc

 

Dr Ochs' clinic is in Beverly Hills, CA. www.ochshair.com

 

Thanks,

I did have a surgery with him. Terrible result! I paid around $10000 and all I have now after one year is a scar all around my head. I do not recommend this doctor whatsoever

Thanks, I had him on my list of doctors for my HT, scratch him off.

It says on this doc's site that he charges $2/graft. that is extremely cheap. i have found from personal experience that in ht surgery you get what you pay for.

 

now, this may not be the case with dr. ochs, but i would rather pay premium and know for sure i am getting premium work. you do not want to gamble and go cheap on ht surgery.

 

i would start making my list by looking at docs on the coalition list here as well as docs that are building a strong patient base and consistently posting quality results.

hairthere,

 

I disagree with this statement. There are several hair transplant doctors that charge a bundle, much higher than what's considered competitive, and I see no evidence that many of them do superior work. Also, there are many reasonably priced clinics that do first-rate work.

 

In my opinion, quality work needs to be gauged outside of cost. But be sure to research physicians thoroughly to get a better idea of who is doing the best work.

Bill, i am not saying cost definitively equals quality. i said from my experience it did. and had i gone to mhr i would have paid far more for less grafts than i would have with dr. feller.

 

also, you must admit that $2/graft is far below what any of the known top doctors i.e. h&w, feller, shapiro, rahal, etc. charges.

 

everyone wants to pay less for this very expensive surgery. i haggled with all of the ht docs i consulted. but i think if you let cheaper costs alone dictate who you go to you increase the risk of a botched job.

hairthere,

 

Actually, I believe Dr. Pathomvanich charges around $2 per graft and in my opinion does high quality ultra refined work. I do realize he's based in Thailand and not the US.

 

I certainly understand your personal experience. I just wanted to correct a general misconception if there was any .
