Regular Member Russ Posted June 10, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hey guys, first time poster, this site has helped me so much in becoming informed and well researched in hair loss and with helping choosing a doctor based on patient reviews and experiences. ive had a couple of consultations with dr gabel, and have one coming up with rahal and have had one with dr christopher varona so far. i will continue to do my due diligence, and seek other consultations. i really liked doctor varona and his price per graft fue($7) is the same as doctor gabel, he didnt try to up-sell me, or sound like a salesman. He's not on the recommended doctors on this website as the ones that im going to have consultations with but was just hoping to get some advice and feedback on what you guys think? my english isnt very good, so my apologies in advance if this post is hard to read or understand. thank you.

Senior Member lakes9925 Posted June 10, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) I like Varonas work seems very nice and dedicated also uses such a small punch making the recovery process much easier the only thing is he needs lots grafts to cover smaller areas.. So does Dr Buabac and many other top docs Edited June 11, 2019 by det9925 just want to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you pointed out, i like him because he seems dedicated and caring as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member lakes9925 Posted June 10, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2019 If you need a small procedure like that than your good ( under 2k grafts) I was reffering to higher norwoods that need lots of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member lakes9925 Posted June 10, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2019 I think hes a very good choice considerig theres only so many FUE docs in the states but I dont want you making your decision based on my opinion, your going to need to do your own research and this site is the best place to start.

I had scaling and bad inflammation and I’d lose hair with scales attach to the end of them. I’ve since then gone to a dermatologist and used ciclopirox(antifungal) clobestol solution(for the inflammation) and oral antifungal. It’s gotten way better and hair thickness has gotten better, just the hair line has been coming back slowly but unsure if it’ll come back to how it use to be. The consultations I’ve had I’ve been told that it’s mild mpb but that the seborrheic derm could have sped up the process of my hairline thinning. If that makes sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
