Senior Member rocketmas Posted October 14, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hi, We have some of the most knowledgeable people on HT here, so always appreciate the feedback. I myself have used this forum since 2003 intermittently, and keep coming back for answers. Some superb folks here Here is my situation, I had my first transplant with Dr Ron Shapiro in 2004. 2500, FUT procedure. Very satisfied with the work and kept me happy for many years. Now 14 years down the road, I am 50 plus and have thinned around the front of the head and have a receded hairline. I am NW3-4, and am probably looking at a 3000 grafts FUE procedure. I was considering going to Dr. Rahal as I like the ultra fine, mega density and super hairline work, but I am in India now and am just unable to go all the way to Montreal for HT. Friends tell me HT in India is quite good nowadays (just they don't have the experience I do :)). I have seen many people with shabby HTs here. But then they did not research the subject nor did they know what to expect. I know there are others, who get a great HT done, but they have put in the research work. My expectations are high so wanted to ask the knowledgeable here on Dr. Bhatti or others in India, on who is world-class in terms of results, consistency, experience, tools used, etc.. Would appreciate your thoughts folks! Ultrafine hair transplant, mega density and superior hairlines are all important. Thanks, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Speegs Posted October 15, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2018 Why are you considering such a far trip for medical tourism, is it really that great a cost saver? Please be very careful, I can't speak on Bhatti, but I've seen some very heartbreaking results out of clinics in that part of the world. Do your homework. Hair loss patient and transplant veteran. Once a Norwood 3A. Received 2,700 grafts with coalition doctor on 8/13/2010 Received 2,380 grafts with Dr. Steven Gabel on 9/30/2011 Received 1,820 grafts with Dr. Steven Gabel on 7/28/2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member voxman Posted October 15, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2018 It's not a far trip since he is already in India! If I were a local, Bhatti would be my choice as he is recommended and well known with many, many positive results. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Senior Member Shera Posted October 15, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Rocketmas has actually stated he is in India right now so there doesn't seem to be any far off medical trip involved. Rocketmas, I get your point with the shabby HT's, there's only really a handful of international clinics in India but then again the same could also be said for Canada, USA, UK, Turkey etc etc. Personally I send many people from the UK and beyond to Dr Bhatti and the vast majority end up with real decent results. I can put you through to ex patients or I can arrange a consultation for you in person. I suppose if you're in India anyway you may as well spend a day visiting the clinic, meeting Dr Bhatti and getting a feel for the place and then you'll know for sure whether its right for you. Feel free to contact me if you need any further info. All the best. Edited October 15, 2018 by Shera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misunderstood, I thought he had traveled to India and that's why he was presently there. Edited October 15, 2018 by Speegs Hair loss patient and transplant veteran. Once a Norwood 3A.

Senior Member rocketmas Posted October 16, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks for the replies. Yes, I am currently in India, my expectation is high (as I have been on this forum since 2004 and I understand the nuances), motivation is low to take a trip to the West for HT. But I know I will not hurry into it or go forward in India if in doubt. BTW, I am very familiar with India, with the medical field and the pros and cons compared to the West. Plenty of well-qualified doctors and intelligent people, but the systems, processes and crowds don't let them focus on any highly-specialised, out of the box approach, or to put much thought into it. Its great for cookie-cutter treatment and it works for what is mostly required. Trust me, I know, as I am here because I take care of ageing parents, and have doctors in the family. Having said that, Dr Tejinder may well produce world-class results, and I will take up Shera on his offer and research this more. This is certainly a treatment which is more 1 on 1 and requires extensive face time. Thanks for the inputs folks. BTW - I recently researched Dr Ferduini's site and was quite impressed to say the least ! Cheers, Sunil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
