Senior Member RCWest Posted July 14, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 14, 2010 Dr. Bernstein is regarded as one of the very best! Prices are in line with everyone else also. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member Danielkiwi Posted July 14, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hi Not to be too personal and it is ok if you guys decide not to answer..Why did the doctor think that he is not a good candidate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Danielkiwi Posted July 14, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hi Rewwd80 I have consulted with both Dr. True and dr. Bernstein...Both of them are straight shooters and i highly recommend meeting both...Both of them are in Manhattan itself, so that should not be an issue at all... Dr. True is a little conservative but very knowledgable as he has a wealth of experience. He also does BHT and maybe he can guide he in that direction as well if your donor area is not sufficient...His price is less than Dr. Bernstein and i think he does a lot of FUE... On the other hand Dr. Bernstien came across as someone really honest and professional...for some reason, he does not get a lot of credit on forums, but there is no doubt in my mind he is top notch..he actually declined to perform surgery on me as he wanted to see how my hair looks after one year on meds..(i was not on propecia then)..if someone were to reject you, it would be Dr. Bernstein more than Dr. True While you are here, please meet both of them and also try to see if Dr. Feller can fit you in somehow..this is the best way for you to clear your mind..i dont think any doctor will reject your surgery unless you have a poor donor area and if they do, treat it as a blessing in disguise and move on in life...looking at your loss, i dont think you will get a full head of hair in one procedure and it is up to to you how would you like to deal with a half head of hair until you decide on the second surgery....another option you have is to do FUE and buzz your hair really short as you have done in your pictures so that you dont have to worry about the scar....also, buzzing the hair really short might give an impression of someone who has hair but choose to buzz it...good luck either ways and keep us posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Sparky Posted July 15, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2010 Do you get the consult money back if you have the procedure? My Hairloss Website http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Danielkiwi Posted July 15, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hi reywd80 I did not have to pay anything for consultation but i had seen him over an year ago..maybe they changed the policy..either way, i was under the impression that all coalition docs give free consultation..maybe you can request him that you are an international patient or something or maybe speak to Bill if he can help you with this.. I think i had a question on why Dr. Feller declined to perform surgery on you and spex sent me the link of your pictures... I am not sure if you know the difference between FUE and FUT..In FUT, the doctor removes the strip from the back of the head and that leaves a ear to ear scar...in fue, they remove the grafts directly from the donor area and place them on your reciptient area which eliminates the need for a linear scar..it is still not scarless but gives you an option to buzz the hair really short..after FUT, you will not be able to buzz it how you have on your pictures..hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reywd80 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Not sure sparky. I've asked 'Eyal' that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Danielkiwi Posted July 15, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2010 yes..dr. dorin is a partner of Dr. true and they work together...Dr. true is more experienced and i had met him personally at the Manhattan office.....Do a consultation and ask the doctor for his recommendation of how many grafts etc.. FUE is also not suitable for everyone and is little more expensive as well..after you meet a bunch of doctors, most of your questions will be answered..

JoeKid0000 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I got my transplant from Dr. Dorin (almost one month post op) but I consulted with Dr. True. I believe I was charged $85 for the consultation fee, which I did not get back when I opted for the surgery. That didn't bother me. Everyone at the True and Dorin office that I met was professional and good natured. They all seemed to like what they do (well, especially the doctors of course!).
