HT in India

[lockshocked]

Hi guys (and girls? ,

 

I've been lurking on the site now for quite some time and I have finally decided to take the plunge. I am planning on travelling to India this year in December and I have narrowed down my options to 3 potential HT surgeons:

 

1) Dr Radha Rani of Vizag

2) Dr. ****** ****** of New Delhi (specifically his staff surgeon Dr Ruby Mehta)

3) Dr. Madhu of Hyderabad

 

I have listed them in order of personal preference based on my confidence in their work, although Dr. Ruby Mehta has the schedule that is most convenient for me.

 

I must say I have been a bit annoyed with Dr Madhu's team, after a brief and frankly somewhat boilerplate "email consultation" they insisted that I call their office for any further questions. That's right, they refused to answer any, even simple, questions without my calling the clinic. I thought that was a bit rude and well, first impressions... Although his work as seen on this site seems pretty great, so he is still in the running albeit third.

 

Really that leaves a toss up between Dr Radha Rani of who I have read and seen many great transplants, and Dr Ruby Mehta who I seem to be having a harder time finding any results.

 

If anyone has any knowledge of Dr Mehta's work I would sincerely like to hear about it. I've only been able to find brief comments here and there on this and other forums.

 

All input is appreciated.

 

My stats: 37

Norwood II/III (although very odd in that I have hair loss deep along the temples and only very moderate crown/top balding)

Been using Rogaine intermittently since I was 20 years old (although never for more than 6 months at any time with no more than 2 years absence

 

I will be posting pics for you all Pre-Op and Post-op and follow up and my experiences. It is so great to have this forum to share. Thanks so much all for your help in this decision.

These are my thoughts,

If you are happy having FUT procedure, then go with Dr Radha, you will be in best hands.

Many are not too keen on linear scar with FUT. If that is the case with you, you will be considering FUE (I am inclined towards FUE heavily). In that case Dr Bhatti in Chandigarh or Dr ******
