willy5972 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Just a little help guys. I am in the eastern United States and starting to begin to research possible doctors for HT.

Regular Member MeHairBeGrowin Posted February 7, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted February 7, 2004 Stay away from the Hair Mills like Bosley and MHR, else you'll end up back here looking for a surgeon to do your repair work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy5972 Posted February 7, 2004 Author Share Posted February 7, 2004 I have been wondering if you should look for single practicing physicians or bigger groups. Again, I am looking for anyone that I could research extensively. It helps to get feedback from those who have had experiences with certain ones.

Regular Member C. Smith Posted February 7, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted February 7, 2004 Willy, You've come to the right place. Within this forum you should easily be able to come up with at least a handful of superb HT doctors who you might want to consider. Simply read as much here as you can and it will all unfold before you. Yu will not fail. Do consider traveling in your considerations because often the surgeon you want most to do your work will be in a location far away from where you live. For example, Minnesota and Vancouver should not be ruled out just because they are far from West Virginia. Travel will end up being a very small part of the overall efforts you will put toward ending your baldness woes, even if you do go far or wide.

Senior Member arfy Posted February 7, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2004 I agree with the comment to avoid the big franchises. Don't go to anyplace that advertises on TV with infomercials, these places are not the best. In my opinion there are only a handful of doctors who can do a consistently great result. That means the odds are slim that one of these doctors happens to be located in your immediate area. Don't bother with an "okay" or "average" hair transplant, in my opinion these will look like obvious hair transplants and are a waste of money. Be careful as there are sharks in these waters. The best thing to do is spend a bunch of time learning about hair transplants, what can they do and NOT do, what are the best methods, what to avoid etc. The more you know, the more you raise your odds of making a good choice and having a successful outcome. I'm not sure, but I would not at all be surprised to hear that there isn't a really great clinic in West Virginia. The really great clinics are rare, and you need to figure out which ones they are. The main thing is to keep reading and keep learning and keep asking questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy5972 Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 To everyone who has given advice, I appreciate it very much. As you say, I will be doing a great amount of research and will travel wherever the best HT surgeon happens to be. Thank you all and again keep the advice coming.

Senior Member Mr T Posted February 9, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2004 Willy, The Internet is full of scam artists. It is good to listen to the opinions of those who have had work done by the doctor they are recommending, but make your own decision on what is right for you. If someone has not personally received a HT from the doctor they are recommending, their opinion should not factor into your decision. That's my opinion, Mr. T Mr. T's web page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
