Senior Member Sam818 Posted May 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2020 I am just going to give you some important advice without even knowing whether or not you are a good candidate for surgery. You need to understand something that is very important when it comes to this specific procedure: Don’t ever, ever, EVER look for the best surgeon within your budget that is closest to you. You need to look for the best surgeon for your specific case within your budget and be willing to travel to them anywhere they are in the world. This may sound crazy to you and if it does than you haven’t done enough research and you’re not ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted May 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2020 +1 Location is not the way to chose a clinic. 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted May 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 10, 2020 You've been given good advice, never base your decision on cost or location. Always go by results. There are some quality surgeons in the South like Dr. Arocha in Houston, Dr. Cooley in NC and Dr. Vories in SC. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Cptpizoo Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 All, Thank you folks for the responses and it is great insight indeed. I should apologize for my post insinuating that I was only looking in the local area for this procedure. You all have some great insight and Sam your insight was correct - I have not done enough research as this forum was my first foray into that research process. So, I definitely appreciate all of your feedback to help guide me in this process. Like you all alluded, patient results are a key representation of a practice's skill and successful outcomes - That said, prior to reaching out here, I spoke with an acquaintance who has had great results by a local clinic in Birmingham, but to me that is a N=1 which is not a great samples size. Thus, I posted here to get more information and to see if anyone else had experiences like the one I mentioned above. As an aside, I am a physician in town and have good rapport with some of the physicians locally that perform hair restoration which can cloud my objectivity; hence, my post here to reach out to you all and pick folks' brains on what experience they may have had in my local area or like you all suggested, what other factors I should be considering. Thank you all so much for your time and look forward to all of your advice... AP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
