tomdez Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Can anyone recommend an excellent doctor or practice in the Chicago area with whom I can get a first consultation on my hair loss? Preferably a recommendation based on personal experience rather than heresay. At this point I dont know which is a better alternative for me, transplant or restoration (drugs). So I guess my consultation should be with someone who does both? I would think that if I went to someone who does exclusively transplants, he would be pushing transplants. I want unbiased advice.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted March 28, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted March 28, 2012 tomdez, Welcome! Please allow me to direct you this listing of hair transplant surgeons we recommend in Illinois. To learn about our criteria for recommending physicians, click here. Regarding medical hair loss treatments, Most hair restoration physicians highly recommend that their patients medically stabilize their hair loss with Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) in conjunction with hair transplant surgery. These are seen as complementary treatments rather than alternatives. Best of luck! David - Former Forum Co-Moderator and Editorial Assistant I am not a medical professional.

Senior Member chrisdav Posted March 28, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted March 28, 2012 Konior and Panine. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member marcushair Posted March 28, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Hi Tomdez, I've had three H.T. strip surgeries with Dr. Panine over the past three years. Dr. Panine is not only a great H.T. physician, but he truly cares about his patients. His staff are wonderful (see comments to 4johnybravo) Please read my personnel experience with Dr. Panine @ No Pain With Doctor Panine. I truly believe, Dr. Panine will provide you with an excellent experience, outstanding results, at a competitive price. He's the Real Deal-Good luck marcushair.
