Seeking Advice

[d-mo]

Hello All,

I am a 31 yr old male living in NYC. I am 6 on the Norwood scale (that is what Dr Robin Unger told me). She was my only consultation so far. I went to her on the advice of Dr. Bernard Nussbaum who successfully operated on my father in Miami (where my folks live). My father was never as bald nor would have ever been as bald as I am now.

I am seeking the best possible hair transplant. It seems like this DR Rahal is popular but he is in Ottawa. Is it really worth it to travel there – would the result be that much better?

Does anybody have any other doctors to recommend? Honestly I’m skeptical about this site since it is paid for by 20 or so doctors – so I looking to here from patients ; not employees of the doctors or site managers.

Thank you for help.

D-mo,

In general it is absolutely worth traveling to the right doctor as the cost of the trip will be a mere fraction of the total cost of the ht and you want to get it right the first time. Also, not just any doc is able to handle a nw 6 case. Traveling NY to Ottawa would be reasonable and from the results Ive seen from Rahal, it should be worth the trip. Fortunately in your case there are also Drs in NY who are worth looking at. You may want to take a look at Hassan & Wong in BC too. I suggest consulting with several doctors before making a final decision.

Hell yes it is worth traveling. There are some great docs in NYC but it is in your best interest to consult with the best in the world not just the city or state you happen to live in.

d-mo,

 

Welcome to this community! I find it odd that someone would opt to join a community that they didn't trust. However, it may be that you have not taken the time to thoroughly understand the process that clinics must go through in order to become recommended here. Since you have specifically asked that representatives of this community do not provide you with any advice regarding your question, I'll refrain from doing so. However, I do recommend that you take the time to learn how we recommend physicians.

 

Bear in mind that one cannot buy a recommendation on the Hair Transplant Network. If that were the case, not only would the list be several times larger than it is, it would be worthless as no one would trust our recommendations.

 

The founder and operators of this site go through great pains and great expense to ensure that only the finest hair transplant physicians in the world are recommended. That said, we encourage all members to exhaustively research using any means available prior to selecting their physician.

 

Best of luck!
