hermit Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 hello, i am thinking of doing a hair transplant surgery. could you please recommend a good physician? i live in the bay area, and have talked to Dr. John Diep and Dr. Neal Gorrin. How do you think of them? Is there a better one? Also, how do you think of FUE and the strip method? which one is better? I am Norwood 3, and probably need 1200 - 1500 grafts. i am most concerned about the results of the surgery. does the hair look good and natural after it has fully grown? Dr. Diep and Dr. Gorrin said it is guaranteed to be good. can I trust them? does anyone have experience with them? or can you recommend a good physician? thank you very much!

Senior Member RCWest Posted May 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2012 While I have seen a few good examples of Dr. Diep's work, I wouldn't base a decision on it. There are no less than 10 recommended HT physicians in California and I would suggest visiting one of those. 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?

I've come across Dr Diep before and the good thing is he is being quite open about his results which is a good sign. Never heard of Dr Gorrin before. Try the search function on this forum to find out more. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Levrais Posted May 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hermit, I don't know much about Dr Diep but there are a couple of his patients who regularly post on here and he has videos of his work on youtube. You should search as much as you can on him and do some consultations with him and other docs before making a decision. Haven't heard of Gorrin. Personally I prefer fue method and it has worked me. 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
