Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted April 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2015 As many of you probably know, I've wanted to become an "HT_Doc" since before even starting medical school. I was fortunate enough to find my position as an editor, moderator, and writer for the Hair Transplant Network, and learned a lot about hair loss and hair restoration along the way. What most of you probably don't know, however, is that I've also been training "behind the scenes" for some time as well. 5 years ago, I met Dr. Alan Feller. He was kind enough to provide advice and guidance on becoming a hair restoration physician. Several years later, he invited me to his clinic to observe a few actual surgeries. We ended up sharing a very similar philosophy with respect to practicing hair restoration. One thing led to another, and I was invited to formally train in hair transplant surgery at his New York office. After two years of training, Dr. Feller and I decided to continue our relationship and partner in a new practice: Feller and Bloxham Hair Transplant Surgery. Starting July 1st, 2015, Dr. Feller and I will be working full-time out of our office in Great Neck, New York. At this point, I will officially "retire" my "Future_HT_Doc" account and create a new "Dr. Blake Bloxham" account. Though I will no longer officially serve as a moderator of the community, I will always be on the network to share content, answer questions, interact with members, and contribute articles. After I've accumulated a number of cases, I also want to be considered for recommendation and hopefully join the ranks of our excellent recommended/Coalition doctors as well. Until July 1st, I will continue in my current role as a moderator, editor, and writer for the Hair Transplant Network, Hair Restoration Network, Hair Loss Learning Center, and Hair Loss Q&A blog. After that, I invite you all to stop by and check out the new "Feller and Bloxham" practice. I cannot thank you all enough for the past few years. Interacting with members, serving as a patient advocate, and helping hair loss sufferers restore their self-confidence has been so rewarding! Again, thank you.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted April 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2015 Blake, I congratulate you! Dr. Feller could have chosen anyone for such an honor. It speaks volumes that you were selected to partner with such a skilled and highly respected surgeon. It's been a true pleasure working with you over the last few years and I'll be watching your career with keen interest. Best of luck!

Senior Member scar5 Posted April 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2015 Congratulations Blake. Dr. Feller is one of those docs (was one?) willing to risk discuss things down here in the animal enclosure with us miscreants. And he was a reasonably early FUE adapter in the US too. He made some very frank remarks about HT and FUE that impressed me at a time few would discuss it. I certainly disagree with the 'FUE-is-for-small' jobs. But it begs the question. Now that you are in New York, and now that larger and larger FUE jobs are the norm (except in the states where laws and economics don't allow it) perhaps you could attempt to answer this question. In 2015, in the state of New York, what is the legal status of technicians performing extractions with some thing like the 'Feller punch', the 'Harris punch' or any other hand held mechanical or manual extraction tool other than the Neograft (or its predecessor) ? (I am not referring to ARTAS or robotic stuff)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
