Senior Member Shampoo Posted December 4, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2012 Ok thanks. $2 per graft is pretty cheap. Do these doctors only offer hair transplant surgery and services directly related to hair restoration? Do you know how long these two doctors have been doing hair transplants on a full-time basis? How many hair transplants do you think they are doing every week on average? How many full time technicians that are employees do they have on their staff?

Senior Member agenteye Posted December 4, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2012 Ukmattyc, Although I don't know anything about this facility or their physicians, anyone who advertises the "always $2.00 graft" makes me a little wary of wanting to book with them, unless I had EXTENSIVELY researched them and their credentials. I would encourage anyone having a hair restoration procedure do this anyway, with any physician they were considering for treatment. With that said, I don't want to discourage you, I just want to encourage you to do some research and make an informed decision. There is no sense in rushing into a potentially bad restoration....and it makes more sense to take some time in making your final decision. Have you checked out Dr. Searle or Boland to see if they are members of the Recommended Surgeons on this site? Also, have you tried to reach out to any past patients to determine their satisfaction with their results? Viewed before and after photos? Searched reviews online??? Just some things to consider..... Anyhow, keep us all posted on whatever it is you decide to do. Hopefully some others from this forum will chime in with their advice/recommendations as well! Best of luck, Mike 4737 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 11/16/2012 Daily regimen: 1/4 Proscar (1.25 mg Finasteride), Rogaine Foam (twice daily), 1000 mcg Biotin, 1 combo Vitamin D/Calcium/Magnesium, 1500 mg Glocosamine, 750 mg MSM, 1200 mg Fish Oil, 2000 mg Vitamin C, Super B-Complex, 400 I.U Vitamin E.

Senior Member james84 Posted December 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 5, 2012 I dont mean to sound blunt, just honest. If you have researched enough i dont think you would of picked this clinic, good luck with whatever you decide. be careful, i have been researching for years and still not close;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Icecreamman Posted December 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 5, 2012 A quick google search shows dr boland was writing marijuana prescriptions 2 years ago. I hope this might be wrong and maybe it'd a different dr boland? Nothing wrong in my view in writing prescriptions for ganja, just not sure if one can be truly dedicated to the art of hair restoration. On the bright side, having a stash after surgery could be a great alternative pain killer. It worked for me...Good luck man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted December 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 5, 2012 This doesn't sound good to me 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Senior Member jerzig Posted December 6, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hold off and keep researching! You can never do enough research. There are dozens of doctors out there with clear proof of excellent results and happy clients. Why settle for anything less? http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2579 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted December 6, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2012 $2/graft? I would cancel immediately. They are cutting corners somewhere to offer such low prices.

Senior Member jerzig Posted December 6, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2012 Exactly. The old adage "you get what you pay for" is in full effect here. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2579 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted December 31, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well, at least you can't say you didn't research before and have quality advice before making the decision! You found this place and we told you it didn't sound too good.........at least you had all the information before you made the decision. Many people don't have this luxury! I hope our fears were unfounded and that it turns out great. Good luck! Please update with your progress in 6 months and a year, I'll be very interested and hope you are very happy 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result.

I don't want to dent your enthusiasm but you'd be better off doing monthly updates as weeks will go by with nothing much happening.
