Regular Member BigBrother Posted January 5, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hey all, a few years back I started browsing around for options, and I remember at the time the Dr.s who consistently came to the top were: H&W Shapiro Feller Rahal I was wondering if these were still considered the best of the best, if the list has changed in your opinions, if promising newcomers have entered the fray, etc. Really appreciate your help! -BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member esrec Posted January 5, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2016 You've got some great names in there. Konior must be added to that list. Cooley is doing some consistently nice work, and I really like what Gabel is doing. He's the up and comer to me if thats something we can even quantify. For FUE, names like Ferudini, Bisanga, Lorenzo and Erdodgan seem to come up most often. Admittedly, I tend to review and scrutinize FUT results significantly more often as I'm in in post-op. I would look to others for FUE opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2016 You have to include Dr. Umar in that list, especially for his repair work, his BHT work has been the best out there.

I would remove Feller and add Konior and Feriduni in his place. I am assuming this is strip FUT. If FUE, then add Lorenzo and Erdogan and remove H&W Edited January 5, 2016 by Stig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spanker Posted January 6, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2016 Dutchie, it seems like you are moving against popular opinion on the board of veteran advice when you keep introducing docs that haven't gotten great reviews. Konior, Rahal, Shapiro Medical Group, Cooley, Gabel, H and W are just a few that are consistent winners, and there are more not mentioned. We have seen several times where posters go against veteran advice and almost without fail they come of short, with very few exceptions. I don't know anything about the doctor mentioned, but I would keep in mind that transplants aren't a thing that you want to blaze your own path on. Good luck to you.

Senior Member Transhair Posted January 6, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2016 Curious, what's the general consensus of Dr Path today. So far for the most recent results, I've seen one great result on a not hairloss related forum which was performed 6 months ago and am watching 88mph's thread to see how his transplant ends out. I know travel shouldn't be everything, but a single fairly short flight to Thailand is much easier and more convenient than 2-3 connecting flights with a total time that can end up being like 30 hours from looking at Skyscanner. Dr Jean Devroye is also high up on my considerations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your own head of hair mate - choose the best surgeon for you, and then worry about the flight time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member delancey Posted January 6, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2016 I havent landed on anyone yet. I'm trying to gather as much information as I can on every well reviewed HT doctors out there. So far there are only 5 contenders: H&W Jones Rahal Seager SureHair (^^in no particular order) You need to carry on with your research! You could start with the Doctors that I have mentioned below. In addition, check out the italian forum. It has 100s of patient testimonials with excellent photos detailing the experiences and results. This may give you a better idea of what to expect. You have lost a lot of hair, therefore having realistic expectations is very important. 1. Choose an excellent Doctor. 2. Understand what you may expect from getting a hair transplant. After you've chosen the best to work on your head, understand that the result will depend on growth, your hair characteristics, and donor supply. I haven't seen your crown area, but if it's dipping, you'll need to ratchet down your expectations significantly. Crown restoration at a high density is impossible for most REAL Norwood 5s and 6s. Would you be happy with a bald or weak crown? 3. Design and artistic ability of the Dr. This is so very important. Do you like how the Doctor designs hairlines? 4. Right now your head is untouched. Once you have surgery, you can never go back. Are you ok with having a long scar on your head? Everyone is different, just be damn sure before committing to anything. Finally, I'm gonna give you a different solution. Have you considered getting a hair system instead? Hair systems are an affordable option for men with significant hair loss. And in my opinion, when done right, can look excellent and very natural. Finally, for North America, here you go! Best of luck to you! H&W, Dr. Konior, Dr. Gabel, Dr. Ron Shapiro, & Dr. Rahal!

Senior Member KeithJagger Posted January 21, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2016 I have only had two procedures with Dr. Cooley, so clearly I am biased. I will say this though; I simply cannot imagine a better surgeon than Dr. Cooley. I am not saying there isn't one out there, but if you have been worked on by someone better than Cooley you are one lucky SOB. Everything about Dr. Cooley is impeccable. For one, he is a straight shooter. He will tell you what you can achieve and how you should go about achieving it. There is no upsell--no BS. He just wants you to have the best results possible. Second, his staff is phenomenal. From the moment you get there until your hair is fully grown in, Dr. Cooley and his staff are there for your 100%. Finally, his work is absolutely incredible. He is truly an artist. And I especially like his use of A-Cell. In my opinion, that stuff really works. If you are interested, you can follow my progress by going to my profile. I know it might almost sound cliche, but I truly believe my hair looks better than it did in college. The hairline is appropriate, the blending is perfect and the donor scar is practically undetectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W27 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for the reply - KeithJagger. I will surely take Cooley into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
