Dr Feriduni

[TrixGlendevon]

Why is his name not used any more when people are talking about top clinics? There was a time when he was considered world class and a go-to option in Europe but now I see others being named who are either just flavour of the week (no track record.... yet) or clinics who I didn't think were anything particularly special when I was investigating for myself, and certainly not as good as Feriduni. What happened? I haven't seen anything to suggest his results have dropped in quality. Anybody have any insight? I consulted with him and thought both he and his clinic were amazing and he was incredibly honest and lived up to his reputation as being ethical. I used what he told me in his consultation as the benchmark against what other doctors told me at other consultations.

He’s definitely one of the best. This case right here is one of the most impressive repairs I’ve seen even considering he hasn’t posted his final results yet. Only the elite doctors take on tough repairs like this.

Yeah that is a great example. I really rate him highly and I am glad this guy got a good result for his repair job.

He’s a top doctor, I don’t believe thats changed. What’s changed is the amount of people asking about cheap surgeons in Turkey, no one is interested in getting the best work, only the cheapest.

Yeah you may be right Melvin! The sad thing is, they will be going to somebody like Feriduni afterwards for the repair job, as was the case with the guy who posted relatively recently. I do still think he is not mentioned as much anymore when people do suggest other top surgeons in Europe/the world though. Shame! Great doctor and person and very ethical.

1) At the moment the focus is on "Doc only" clinics mainly driven by the discussion about ASMED

2) People start focusing more on youtube/facebook/instagramm videos or pics

True, people tend to think like herds. One person says _x doctor does manual FUE, therefore, manual is best, if it’s repeated a few times it becomes fact. Then _x doctor uses techs, therefore, he’s no good. I see a similar thing happening with “stick and place” “DHT” “DHI” placement techniques.

I notice on most forums that marketing plays a huge part. I believe that’s one of the reasons why these forum reps from the doctors exist: to post reviews and showcase work to make a name for the doc. I see feriduni mentioned more on other forums such as international hair loss forum. Hlc represented more on German and Italian forums. Another example is konior, he is seen as an mvp here but I’ve never seen his name mentioned elsewhere especially the non English forums.

He used to be mentioned on here a lot. This is why I asked - it was strange him going from being mentioned all the time to not at all.

I agree it is interesting seeing which doctors are more prolific on different forums. This is why looking at several forums is always a good idea

If you notice Dr. Konior’s rep is hardly ever on, his biggest fans are his ex-patients, and for good reason. A reputation based off of excellent patient results, is the kind of reputable surgeon you want.

Right, and if anything too much promotion puts me off. Feels like I'm being spammed. One clinic in particular is guilty of this, not mentioning any names 😁

Totally agree. I believe this is the only site he is recommended and part of, and funny enough, the only place you’ll find his reviews. So membership plays a big part too as well as the entire patient rep aspect.

I'm curious if you see other US doctors mentioned on non English forums?

Not really. H&w for sure, rahal sometimes (even tho they r not US docs per se). I just don’t think US docs have the highest reputation in other countries even tho I think docs like konior and Shapiro can easily hold their own against some of the worlds best

I think the problem with American clinics is that 1) they specialise in FUT whilst the rest of the world is moving/has moved, rightly or wrongly, to FUE and also most people want FUE too and 2) they are so much more expensive than in the rest of the world. A similar sized operation in the States can cost 1.5-2x more than in Europe but it won't be 1.5-2x better therefore they price themselves out of the non-US market and therefore don't appear on the foreign language forums.
