Senior Member RCWest Posted July 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2010 I have been in contact with Dr. Chu in Memphis. He is a member of the ISHRS. Does anyone know anything about him? He and a Dr. Langsdon in Memphis are my only options right now, as I am unable to travel too far from home right now. MHR, now known as Bosley is up there, but I wouldn't consider them after all the stories I've read.

Senior Member aWidowsPeek Posted July 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Never heard of him. Checked out his website real quick. I personaly would never get an HT from a doctor that does a grab-bag of procedures. You should look into a doc that ONLY does Ht's. You want someone that does 1 ht a week or someone that does them 5 days a week for years? Edited July 5, 2010 by aWidowsPeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RCWest Posted July 5, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2010 That is definitely worth considering, but there are several great surgeons who do many more things other than purely transplants. Dr. Kabaker is one example.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted July 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2010 RCWest, Although it may seem sound, I personally would not recommend letting geography dictate where you receive your hair transplant surgery. I understand cost and time are both big issues, but it's much more time and cost efficient to undergo one state-of-the-art hair transplant with an excellent surgeon once than deal with potential repairs and further complications from a local clinic (simply because it was closer). Now, this isn't saying that Dr. Chu isn't a good surgeon (I've personally never heard anything about him - positive or negative), but just explaining how travel can be more effective in the long-term. The hair transplant network does not currently recommend any surgeons in Tennessee, but do recommend hair restoration physicians in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Georgia. I hope this helps!

Senior Member RCWest Posted July 6, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2010 Well, I am originally from Virginia. I guess I could wait until I go back to visit my parents, then schedule with Dr. Lindsey.
