Bill - Seemiller Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 mgmjtech, Welcome to our community. Dr. Nakatsui does quality ultra refined follicular unit transplantation. Be sure to use the find feature of our forum to search through over 5 years of archives about this physician. There you will be able to read about patient experiences and see patient before/after photos. I hope this helps. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mgmjtech Posted September 10, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 10, 2007 So i got some information from both doctors and they both claimed that their method is one of the best in the world. Dr. Nakatsui gave me a rough price for $2-$6 per graft - He said i need to 2000 = around $9000 Dr. John Gillespie quoted me "Price is dependent on the number of grafts you receive and ranges between $4000 - $10,000". Let me know how much you guys pay for your and who is your doctor. My other location that i can go are bay area or san jose. My sister leave there so i can stay there for couple of weeks. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member the B spot Posted September 10, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2007 I dunno.... Dr. Nakatsui seems to do some pretty damn fine work mgm. He has been very forthcoming about his techniques, and very detailed with his patient photos. I cannot attest to his skills personally, but Pat (the publisher) has been very impressed with him, so I think you should meet with him in person to decide for yourself. However, I also believe that when you are looking for perfection and the BEST doc for you, travel should not be a deterrent that limits your choices. Good Luck!

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted September 10, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2007 Mgm, Of all the docs that post their results on this forum, Dr. Nakatsui seems to show the most detail in all of his posts. His results are fabulous and IMO you are a lucky bastard that won't need to travel far. Make sure that you get a consult with him. Never heard of Gillespie. That's not a good sign. Doesn't mean that he is not good, but I have heard of most of the best in the world. Might want to research him a lot more. Remember, they all are going to tell you that their results are the best. Good luck. NN NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.

Regular Member Sanjeev Posted September 11, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted September 11, 2007 Can you please suggest a doctor in San Francisco. Is it advisable to go to organizations like hair club, bosley,etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Arrie Posted September 11, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2007 DON'T LET TRAVEL LIMIT YOUR CHOICES!!! Alright now that I have made that point, I am not taking anything away from Dr. Nakatsui or Dr. Gillespie. All i am saying is if you get a hint of the doc not being suitable for YOU or just not what YOU want in any way, don't go there. There are multiple world class surgeons out there that would provided amazing results. Don't let a few hundred dollars or a different place hold you back from receiving a lifetime quality investment. I am not taking anything away from the docs you mention just make sure you are well informed and are completely knowledgeable about your decision. That goes for you too Snajeev, WATCH OUT! Take care my friends... You only live once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
