Senior Member Transhair Posted October 13, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted October 13, 2016 So, I recently had a phone consult with Dr Shapiro, and during the consult he very highly recommended Dr Knudsen, even describing him as a preferable option over travelling overseas. So I'm just curious if anyone has seen him recently? Definitely consulting with him due to the recommendation, as it'd be great to have someone see me in person to discuss my options over someone just looking at my photos. Definitely more looking for surgery overseas for the very best surgeon possible, but opinions on him could be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Khop Posted December 11, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi Transhair, I know your post is from some time ago but just wondering if you ended up doing a HT? I'm a fellow Aussie and looking at doing a procedure but just don't know where to go. I have heard Knudsen is good but then a lot of people are mentioning overseas surgeons. A bit lost at the moment and any help would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to pick the wrong person to do the work. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HRSN1 Posted December 12, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2016 Knudsen only does FUT, he has no FUE skills. I wouldn't recommend him, go overseas for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Khop Posted December 12, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi HRSN1, Thanks for the reply. Have you had a procedure done? Had any experiences good or bad with doctors? Anyone you would strongly recommend? Look forward to hearing back. It's very hard decision to know who to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HRSN1 Posted December 12, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2016 First of all avoid FUT. I had mine with Knudsen and was a big mistake, not to mention result was below average. Look for FUE providers ie Dr Ray comes to mind, someone had a FUE operation with him in this forum and quite happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mikey1970 Posted December 12, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 12, 2016 Doesn't Dr Knudsen utilize the Artas Robot for FUE? I think he is one of only two Australian Dr's to have an Artas? As that does all the harvesting & manual FUE isn't required he shouldn't need "FUE Skills" should he? It is my understanding that a lot of the top US Dr's including Dr Alexander use the Artas robot so wouldn't that level the playing field a lot?

Regular Member HRSN1 Posted December 12, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think go overseas unless you want to fork out thousands more for similar or less result. Check the forum database for recommended FUE providers. I can tell you this with FUT you will be stuck with a scar for life! It's so hard to get rid of it even with SMP or FUE on it. You can't shave your head or even buzz cut. With FUE even if you had a failure or more hair loss later still you can buzz cut or shave down to look normal, with FUT you can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member _lshy Posted January 29, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Does anyone have results from Dr Knudsen they can share? I have a procedure booked in for mid February and am feeling hesitant Edited January 29, 2021 by _lshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HRSN1 Posted January 29, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2021 Please avoid Knudsen at all cost! Absolute rubbish! Also do not go for FUT! FUE or nothing! He left a big scar which I had to had fixed by FUE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member _lshy Posted January 29, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2021 Can you tell me more about your experience and why you feel so negatively towards Dr Knudsen? The results from this post seem pretty good and I am in a similar boat to OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member _lshy Posted January 29, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Oh wow, that's a horrible result. Yeah I saw the 651 graft case and was a bit shaken. I figured it might just be a one off case, patient had thin hair and wanted more coverage for less money, but maybe I am just justifying it on his behalf. I have already paid a 2k deposit for the procedure with Knudsen and am starting to want to pull out. Edited January 29, 2021 by _lshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any doubts then maybe it’s possible to get your deposit back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 29, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2021 @_lshy dude stop bumping old threads. I’ve had to tell you this now 3 times. If you’re not confident in the surgeon or haven’t researched him thoroughly on our forum (a trusted source of information) cancel or reschedule your procedure. Trying to cram a bunch of information before February is the WRONG way to go about this, it’s surgery, you’re not buying a dishwasher. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
