Regular Member kdub87 Posted December 27, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2014 I have a HT booked with Hakan Doganay after seeing some good results on forums and his site. After digging on here it seems theres more than a few unhappy patients and that whole thing about former 'patients' posting on here turning out to be his staff is very disconcerting. Not sure what to do now, got my hopes up and finding it hard to listen to my gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member FUE2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 27, 2014 Go with a doc who you will feel more confident in, the fact you are having doubts now about the doc indicates you are not ready to have an HT yet and need to do some more research. Don't rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hotshot Posted December 27, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2014 I almost booked with him last year, but many results the last 12 months have not been good. I have booked with an other clinic, and will make a thread when my journey starts in early February 2015. I have been on different hair forums for the last 10 years, and this is not the first time a clinic "suddenly" pops up, with a lot of "happy customers", and many "good results". I have had 2 procedures earlier, and my third need to be a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kdub87 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2014 Thats just it iv been lurking here, baldtruthtalk and hairlosstalk etc for months. Hakan seemed to have consistent results until recently. Im 27 and want to enjoy my younger years while i can. So tired of being limited to certain hairstyles and being afraid of the wind lol. Over a year of propecia has done little for any regrowth but may have slowed it down some. Just been so excited and Iv spent today digging deeply and uncovered a lot of worrying information:confused: just wondering what the general forums feeling was on this surgeon after recent months?

Regular Member hotshot Posted December 27, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2014 I will make a thread when my journey continues in February 2015. Then it will be almost 10 years since my second procedure, and 12 years since my first. It is not a turkish clinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kdub87 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2014 From my research Turkey seemed to be a pretty ok place to go? I cant really afford anywhere else at the minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hotshot Posted December 28, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yes, there are surely many good clinics in Turkey. However, the only one I would choose right now is Dr Keser. But he charges 3,5 Euro per graft, and is expensive. Earlier I considered both Doganay and Erdogan as "safe choices", but the last year I have seen several results that have been not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kdub87 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2014 Would you consider Erdogan to be the same as Doganay? So confused as to what to do. After tonight i dont think i can go with doganay and thats cost me a lot in lost plane tickets, which could have went towards a better surgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being ignorant, infact quite the opposite. The only decent results seem to be documented in posts made by the clinic itself. Why are you so massively supportive? Best on the planet?

Senior Member delancey Posted December 28, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2014 For FUE, I am a big fan of Dr. Lorenzo, Dr. Bisanga (smaller cases), and Dr. Erdogan (very natural hair lines). If you are having doubts, then you should follow your gut feeling. I am going on NW6, and if I had doubts about my surgeon, I would cancel immediately. I don't see why it would be any different for you! Good decisions usually come with confident feelings. Best of luck to you.

Yeah i think im gonna have to go with my gut on this one and give it a miss. Kicker that ill lose the plane ticket which was unusually expensive but better than worrying for a year whether or not my hairs botched lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hotshot Posted December 28, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2014 kdub87, you did the right thing about canceling. The fact is that we have not seen enough documented results posted by actual patients. The results we have seen from actual patiens here has not been good enough. As I have had both strip and FUE earlier, and followed this industry for 10 years, I have enough experience to give advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kdub87 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2014 Thanks matey, I feel it's the right decision. I should be moving to America in March, so I'll just bust me nuts saving for a while and go with one of the US top guys im not in that dire of need to be too upset. Hopefully the propecia will save me for a while haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member changinglights12 Posted December 28, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2014 He is a good doctor who is capable to achieve terrific results. The issue is rather he has created such a positive reputation that he doesn't have to do as many procedures himself, but hire & allow his peers to perform many HT's. This is kind of how life works. One reputable professions create that image they don't have to work as hard. We like to sit here and chat about transplants from successful surgeons, but there are so many upcoming doctors, most notably in Turkey who are very affordable and great. They are the primary overseers, however once they become huge they will do the same as these other ones are doing. This Erdogan doctor is unreal. Unbelievable results. Though probably only a matter of time until the same happens with him. Just how it works unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mikeey Posted December 28, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2014 I second your decision , its always better to Cancel any procedure if u r unsure , better than regret , I too feel Much safe now thinking of going to our own US Doctors , becos we can research the ground better and meet real patients AND atleast we know that there is some degree of regulations in the US , and if the doc is Local we can keep visiting the clinic as opposed to just getting a HT and forgetting about it for a year .... I too have changed my mind and am settling for a Local US Doc here , I rather do a FUT with hassan and wong or Dr. Rahal , rather than fall in a Pit with Dr, Hakan Dognany OR Dr. Edrogan , sorry turkey is Not as it used to be !!! The guys have received a Lot of attention lately , so the Mad rush is showing in POOR Results ..... No Turkeey , No India ... No Nowhere ....

From all my reading Rahal, Feller and shapiro are all considered top of the field and are based in the US (and Canada) id consider Basinga too as ive seen some pretty nice results.

I would say they are considered a level below the European docs mentioned here.
