The996 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've been lurking around this forum for quite some time and constantly see remarks about other docs like Shapiro, Wong, Hasson, and others. Not too often do I hear much about Dr. Reed, but we should. I am one day out of my HT with Dr. Reed and although I haven't fast forwarded 10 months, the level of care, thoughtfulness, and generosity were amazing. We did a little over 2500 grafts and for a majority of the procedure, I didn't feel a thing and was fully asleep. Even today, I'm not in any discomfort and the donor area seems relaxed, not overtight like it was with my first HT with MHR. Because I developed a bit of a hypertrophic scar with the poor work at MHR, Dr. Reed was a little worried about my ability to have enough donor area for another HT to increase density in my crown. But since my donor area is relaxed right now, he thinks we may have a good shot of another procedure if needed. I'm eager to post results as they occur, but with the amount of detail shown by Dr. Reed, Judy, and the rest of the tech staff, I'm thrilled and would recommend everyone in the So. Cal and west coast to give Dr. Reed a visit. A wonderful man and I couldn't be happier. Thanks guys for all the advice and I look forward to posting results soon.

Regular Member jimdee Posted January 7, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2008 Sorry to join the discussion late but I just updated my weblog with photos which are 30 weeks ( 7 and 1/2 months for the non-mathematicians) post-surgery with Dr. Reed. I'm very happy with the results! I am contemplating a 2nd procedure to get some added thickness and would love comments on what experiences people have had with a round 2. Thanks!
