Regular Member adonix Posted July 6, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm not going to go into detail because it's just not a grenade worth unpinning, but I do have first hand knowledge that some clinics in areas of the world discussed earlier do not utilize proper sterilization techniques. These are standards accepted and taught in medical/surgical training in places like North America; I'm not completely certain what the accepted standards are in other regions, but I do know of some practices in areas that would not pass standards in NA. Do your research and make sure you know precisely why clinics are charging what they are charging. Period. Cmon Blake, either name those clinics, or stop playing the negative marketing game. For your info, most of leading clinics in EU and Turkey have standards above most of clinics in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that these clinics you are referring to are clinics recommended by this very site? Or are you referring to other non-recommended clinics? If it's the former, and seeing you yourself are a current orformer co-moderator, then WTF???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted July 6, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Adonix, I'm definitely not the only one making these comments here. Simply trying to clarify and urge all to do their research. I do find it odd, however, that you have 4 posts to your name and each one has been directed specifically at me. Interesting you mention marketing as well. Mav, Do your research thoroughly and you'll be good. However, just make sure you understand what is being charged and why. This site is the best place to do your research and chose a doctor. Period. AKA - no, our doctors are solid.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted July 6, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2015 Mav, Absolutely not. We spend a lot of time reviewing protocol before a clinic is recommended here, and I feel very comfortable endorsing HRN clinics because of this. I wouldn't stand behind any clinic that utilized improper techniques. Neither would Pat, Bill, or Dave. However, it doesn't change the core of what I was saying earlier: research and ask questions until you have absolutely all the information you need. If something is different or doesn't make complete sense to you, figure out why. Also, remember that it's always best to double check everything you read first hand -- IE, talk to the clinics!

What can I say Blake, you post often, and you tend to (discretely) use the forum to market your and dr. Feller's business model (strip and mStrip). It is amazing how you always manage to post small vague pieces information which are mostly negative towards FUE or like in the case above, negative towards non-NA clinics, etc.. No specifics, no proofs. Some people pick on things like that, and I might be one of them. If I am breaking any rules, let me know. On other hand, I find your insight into finasteride side effects quite interesting and thanks for sharing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted July 6, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2015 Adoix, Glad you liked it. It's definitely an interesting topic that I think will get more attention in the upcoming years.

Senior Member darlinglocks Posted July 6, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I totally agree with ontop. As for Alpine1, everyone is entitled to choose according to what works best for him or her. I am also utterly shocked by your comments Alpine1 ! "And to answer your question the third world is West of Santa Monica and East of the Sierras, East of Manhattan and West of the Appalachians, and South of the Rio Grande. Anymore geography questions or do you want to go back to more ignorant HT questions?" Visibly You haven't much inside your head too... reading your racist comments!!! Different points need to be taken in consideration. Reknown Doctors abroad are not cheap but the rent and salaries are probably different in high end New York and LA than India or Turkey!!! It is not because you pay 3 times the price that you can be considered the best surgeon in the world! The proof is by what is on your head and the good reviews of the customers in time. So Ryanvon32, compare price cost, good reviews, ask for an online consultation or Skype I am very pleased with choosing Dr. Bhatti for my FUE procedure. Check his clear website and clear cost at : darlingbudsindia.com Ask questions! Good luck Edited July 6, 2015 by darlinglocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
