I would recommend True & Dorin. I had mine done with Dr. Dorin, but I'm a man. I have seen lot of his female patient results though... very natural and refined.

 

I would also look into Dr. Carlos Wesley. He works a lot with women too.

 

As for women HT doctors in NYC, the only one I know of is Dr. Robin Unger. She works out of the same clinic as Dr. Wesley. If I understand correctly, she is the daughter of Dr. Walter Unger who is one of the pioneers of the HT industry and among the first to do URFUT.

 

I understand that Dr. Eric Schweiger is supposed to specialize almost exclusively in female hair loss, however, I haven't seen any of his work. He works alongside Dr. Bernstein who is one of the pioneers of the industry and a top notch doc, so I imagine that Dr. Schweiger must be worth looking into.

Lisa,

 

I definitely agree with Corvettester.

 

Check out True & Dorin's website. They have an excellent female before and after photo gallery.

Here is the direct link:

Dr. Robin Unger's website also has some nice female examples.

 

One word of caution about Dr. Feller. He shaves the recipient area for all procedures, so as a woman this might be something to keep in mind. This is evident in the pictures in the second link provided by Spex.

I would consult with Dr Wesley . He is very skilled and will give you sound advice .

The reason for shaving the recipient area is to prevent transection which could permanently damage your existing hair. If you have diffuse thinning it's a lot easier for the surgeon to have a clear field of vision. Not all docs insist on shaving, but I would not let it steer me away from a top doctor who gets consistently great results like Dr. Feller.

hairthere,

 

I was simply pointing out the fact that Dr. Feller shaves the recipient area, and (especially) as a woman this is something she might want to be aware of. It wasn't, "Stay away from Dr. Feller!"

 

I just think that it is very important to know this going in, and a lot of other doctors get consistently great results without shaving.

salami, I was not accusing you of anything. However, I also think the patient should know the reason why some clinics like Dr. Feller insist on shaving and the potential downsides of not shaving.
