Senior Member Mop Posted June 20, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2009 Membership of the ISHRS is apparently just a straightforward job of paying a subscription, I think you need the minimal medical qualifications.They dont check or validate results, you best bet is to pick a Doc from the recommended list on this website. The moderators visit clinics and check results before they get recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted June 22, 2009 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2009 You say you are in NJ, so I just want to caution you. If the ad was for any of the following or includes any of the following Drs, I would not go there if I were you. Dr. John P Schwinning Dr James J Malecka Dr. Gary S Hitzig Dr. Michael J Kassouf Dr. Paul M Goldberg Hitzig Schwinning Medical Group New Jersey Vein & Cosmetic Surgery Palisades Center for Facial Cosmetics Again, if the flyer is part of any of the above, I would stay away. They are all part of a group of hack Drs with various lawsuits against them. As soon as the lawsuits start to pile up against them, they file for bankruptcy and start a "new" company the same day in the same offices with the same phone numbers.

Bill - Seemiller Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 joker28, In my opinon, the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) does a great job helping to educate physicians from the beginner to the advanced levels. Ultimately, it's a collaborative group of doctors sharing what they've learned with other physicians. However, the only requirement to become a member is to be a doctor and pay a membership fee. Doctors are not reviewed or evaluated based on their surgical skill or results like they are in this community. To see how we prescreen and recommend hair transplant surgeons, click here. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
