TroyT Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 For my Norwood 1.5 situation... I've had a couple of in-person consultations with Dr. Benham and Dr. Dauer here in Los Angeles. Nothing abnormal or off-putting necessarily, but I have decided to keep looking and have received a quote from LA Hair Clinic/Dr. Abrahamian in Pasadena for 1500 grafts. I really like his results and design. I haven't seen any reviews here on the network, so I'm wondering if anybody has experience or has heard any feedback about LA Hair Clinic or Dr. Abrahamian's surgeries? Any info is appreciated.

Senior Member Panamera13 Posted August 16, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) You don't need a HT as of now in my opinion. Norwood 1 is nothing. How old are you? Does baldness run in your family? Your age will play a factor whether going for HT is a good idea or not at this time.

Senior Member hairlossPA Posted August 16, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2018 I started a thread on LA Hair clinic before and pretty much got roasted to just stick to the recommended surgeons on this site. LA Hair Clinic youtube and IG look good, but ya never know... be careful. I would say you dont need a HT now. get on finasteride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of LA clinics I would stick with Dr. Baubac.

You are a very simple case of HT. Just pick a recommended doc by this forum and you will be all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response. I have had consultations with the following: Sean Benham recommending 900 grafts @ $6250 LA Hair Clinic recommending 1200-1500 grafts @ $10,000 Mark Dauer recommending 1200-1400 grafts @ $10,000 Hasson & Wong recommending 1800 grafts @ $14,400 I really like the results at LA Hair Clinic, but I am skeptical about the limited amount of reviews here. I was excited about Dr. Benham, but I didn't like the way they had me meet with this random former patient who was trying to sell me on the surgery. He was like a used car salesman. Dr. Dauer was not friendly at all and I am not that impressed with the results on his site. Hasson/Wong seems legit based on reviews but I don't think I'm in need of 1800 grafts. Still waiting to hear back from Nader in Mexico and Lorenzo in Spain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Panamera13 Posted August 17, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2018 If you can afford, H&W is your best bet. You can always talk and come at a number/solution that works. If you can, visit them in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Panamera13 Posted August 17, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2018 this is the guy on LA hair clinic website...he looks like a model; doesn't seem like someone who had hair loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member voxman Posted August 17, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2018 Okay...everyone here who's had a Hair Transplant at L.A. Hair Clinic raise their hands.... (crickets chirping...) Hey, maybe you'll be the first ! We like Pioneers who throw caution to the wind and brave that great unknown. The only review I've read here was an obvious phony one. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mask Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I was keeping an eye on this clinic as well. The doc does amazing masterpieces, judging by the youtube channel and Instagram pics. What I care the most is, in addition to the good results of the surgery itself, the durability of the HT over time. Thus, I keep looking at the evolution of the HT of a guy named Chadtepper on Instagram who had the procedure done in 2017. He is kind of popular in the social, so the clinic filmed (as they usually do) and tagged him on the clinic page on Instagram. The thing is, after the procedure (now it's been more than 2 years), he always wears a hat in every picture😂😂, so it is damn impossible to asses if he still has a great hair situation or not (from the picture of the clinic, after 1 year post operation, of course, he had). BUUUUUT i jumped on his profile just today aaaaaand the last picture he posted is without hat. Looks not bad, but it is a picture that I would not take for accurate judgment. But at least is something. I am waiting for more picture, hopefully taken closely. Still wondering why after such an expensive and great HT this guy always wears a hat 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Curious Posted October 4, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hassan & Wong are easily the best of the group of doctors you have listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
