Bill - Seemiller Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Dear Forum Members, Since Dr. Timothy Carman was approved for recommendation in August of 2008, he has and continues to impress this community with examples of his ultra refined results and his passion and dedication to patient education. Coalition member Dr. William Reed who works with him has also become one of his biggest fans. Dr. Carman's expertise, wit, and likeable personality also shine brightly in answering dozens of hair loss questions monthly on our forum and popular Hair Loss Q&A Blog. As the Old Russian Proverb declares 'trust but verify', we wanted solid evidence that Dr. Carman met the demanding criteria and standards set by this community before considering him for the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. To view the Coalition standards, click here. Thus, in addition to the impressive results Dr. Carman has posted on this community, Pat visited with and observed Dr. Carman in live surgery. He was very impressed by his passion and commitment to performing exclusive ultra refined hair transplantation. To see the highlights of Pat's visit, view 'Visit to Dr. Timothy Carman in La Jolla, CA'. Dr. Carman has the experience, skill, and staff necessary to perform over 3000 follicular units in a single procedure and dense packing when appropriate for the patient. Given Dr. Carman's experience and proven track record of producing ultra refined results, Pat and I firmly believe he should be considered for the Coalition. To learn more about Dr Carman's experience, technique and philosophy, visit his Hair Transplant Network recommendation profile. We welcome all input and comments regarding his potential inclusion.

Senior Member TC17 Posted June 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2009 If the results posted are indicative of Dr. Carman's usual work, then he absolutely merits membership in the coalition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mr. GQ Posted June 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2009 based on the results posted above that indicate Dr. Carman's usual work i say: RECOMMENDED - maybe COALITION - no and here is why: - most of the examples above are not even final results. - documentation is not up to par with other COALITION presentations (no top down pics, dark lighting etc). - not a single full grown 12-18 months result. - none of the above examples are WOW examples. take it for FWIW just my 2 cents.

Senior Member Leeson Posted June 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have to agree w/ GQ. I know he must have plently of results. The couple I saw looked fine, but if he's done so many to merit coalition status, he must have more before and afters than this.

Senior Member Mr. GQ Posted June 2, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2009 but if he's done so many to merit coalition status, he must have more before and afters than this. absolutely right Leeson! we need at least 5-6 more fully grown examples as in 12 or preferably 18 moths to see for us to make a fair judgment and determination. plus they all need to be very detailed examples too with consistent lighting, top down shots, consistent background (blue or white), plenty of angles, sharp pics etc. i personally think that all of the coalition members should be required to post at least one top down pic for all of their examples. for "recommended" clinics, i think that we can give them a break and "look through the fingers" so to speak. it is COALITION we are talking about here right?

Bill - Seemiller Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Dear members, Thank you for your feedback so far. In my opinion, based on all the evidence we've collected so far, Dr. Carman is doing work on par with leading surgeons in the field and meets our demanding standards for the Coalition. He's also garnered the support from Coalition member and well respected surgeon Dr. Bill Reed who works with him on a daily basis among other leading physicians. Here are a few more of Dr. Carman's results for review. 2300 Grafts with Dr. Carman 2015 Grafts with Dr. Carman Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ceasar08 Posted June 2, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2009 I've been checking this board regularly for quite a long time, and I feel very good about Dr. Carman as part of the coalition. I've only seen and heard excellent things, and he seems to have the endorsement of some very well respected people on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Janna Posted June 2, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2009 It would be nice to see some more grown out results from Dr. Carmen. However, the results and immediate post-op pictures indicate he's performing top notch work. I would feel comfortable referring patients to him. So my vote is yes. Patient Care Services & UK Patient Advisor for Shapiro Medical Dr. Ron Shapiro, Dr. Paul Shapiro and Dr. David Josephitis are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. http://shapiromedical.com/info@shapiromedical.com http://shapiromedical.com/contact/request-a-consultation/janna@shapiromedical.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Members, In addition to the results I linked to when I created this post and the other two right above, Dr. Carman has just added another example of his work. View 1966 Grafts 1 Year Results for another example. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Leeson Posted June 3, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2009 Does he have any pics were he totally recreates someone's front, not just thickening of patients whom already have plenty of native hair? I mean, if someone like Business Teacher went to him, what could he expect? I know not the 7,000 (that's a rarity), but realistically.

Bill - Seemiller Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Dear Members, Thanks to everyone who took the time to offer their valuable input on the potential Coalition membership for Dr. Carman. Based on all the evidence we collected via private and public screening, patient member feedback, and input from other leading hair restoration physicians, we believe he's earned his rightful place in the highly esteemed Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. I know that some of you would have liked to have seen more grown out photos. However, we believe the examples above represent his usual first-rate ultra refined work. Dr. Carman has garnered the support of many leading surgeons who we've contacted by email including Coalition members Dr. Reed, Dr. Konior, Dr. Ron Shapiro, and many others. I trust Dr. Carman will continue to impress our online patient community with impressive examples of his ultra refined work for years to come. View Dr. Carman's Coalition Profile. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. William Parsley Posted June 16, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have never been too excited about postop pictures alone. But Dr. Carman has shown that his good postop pictures have turned into excellent results. Very impressive. He studied under one of the best- Dr. Bill Reed. My vote is an unqualified yes. Dr. Parsley is recommended on the Hair Transplant Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
