TheKid83 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi, all. I'm relatively new to the whole hair loss thing and as I never thought id be losing my hair, I've been deeply affected by some recession around my temples and a bit of thinning around my crown. I'd like to consult a specialist but I'm not sure what to expect. Are there specialists who deal with both the diagnosis of hair loss and remedies- both surgical and non-surgical? I'm 28 and living in the long island area which is driving distance to Nyc. I've already consulted a dermatologist but she seemed uninterested and/or uninformed. I plan on posting pictures in the coming days to gather some opinions. Really not sure what to expect or what to do at this point. Thanks in advance.

Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted April 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 12, 2011 Most doctors on this site will consult with you about any hair loss situation, and can prescribe medication such as propecia to stop further hair loss, and also discuss a possible procedure if you are interested in going that route. In the New York area there is Dr. True, Dr. Dorin, Dr. Feller, and Dr. Bernstein. All of them will discuss surgical and non surgical options with you. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own. Dr. Robert True and Dr. Robert Dorin are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKid83 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks for getting back to me guys. Again, I'm new to this and was wondering what to expect from a consultation. Is there a series of tests which the doctor will run? As far as selecting a doctor, is there one doctor who brings something to the table which the others don't or are they all equally skilled? Contact info or should i just google and hope for the best? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutch Posted April 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 12, 2011 Visit the websites of these surgeons above. Send them your pics from different angles in good light. They will give you an online consultation and a true opinion. Also, search their names here & you will see good reputations. Then search the net and search YouTube for video evidence of surgery they have conducted. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
