moreBeardThanHair Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hi all, I am new to this forum and I am considering a FUE transplant and am pretty settled on James Harris clinic (Denver). I know in the past he was recommended and had a good reputation here and I see he is not listed anymore in the recommended surgeons and I am curious why. Basically, I am just curious on your experiences if you have one. I also talked to him about his partner physician who he said he has full confidence in (said she worked on him as well). I think her results look good, but also read one pretty bad one here. But I've also seen at least one bad one by just about all surgeons at some point. Look forward to responses.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 23, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 23, 2020 He’s a solid surgeon, there was one member that I recall wasn’t satisfied with his results. You can take a look at @baldlivesmatter thread, he was later repaired and had much better results. Our recommendations are never set in stone, sometimes we remove surgeons for poor results, and other times surgeons no longer want to participate because of the public scrutiny, and other times it’s because of both. I don’t know anything about his partner, but I do recall one guy going to a female surgeon who had worked with him, and she left a visible gap in his hairline. I have no idea if that is the same person or not. I believe this is his screen name @DenverBuff1989 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

moreBeardThanHair Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Thanks for the reply. I did enjoy talking with him, which I can say has not been my case with all dr.s I've corresponded with. Seemed genuine and honest. The "visible gap" thread was the one bad post I've seen. Albeit pretty bad. Otherwise there isn't much on these forums for her, and the photos I've seen were good.

LonelyGraft Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 He invented one of the most popular fue punch systems (Harris safe system). However, just because he invented a tool and takes part in conferences doesn’t mean he’s a worthy surgeon. With so many options I would pass on him because I have not seen many results that wowd me.

They cherry-pick results, what you see on this forum is a better indicator of their actual work. Good luck on your research. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) On a serious note please choose another Dr. It really isn’t worth your precious donor area risking another. And take your time ! check out all of the recommended list from this forum. Do not let the area dictate where you get your next one.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 23, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 23, 2020 Guys, Let’s not make inappropriate jokes. @DenverBuff1989 Never let location be the deciding factor. Now, I’m not saying the surgeon isn’t capable, but if you’ve had two bad experiences, I typically advise patients to go elsewhere. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

moreBeardThanHair Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 sorry, but outside of @Melvin-Moderator this post got off hand a little unhelpful. I'll ask specifically about Dr. Harris then. I've heard mostly only good things in the past, so curious why others would advice against? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 23, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 23, 2020 My advice is to speak to past patients, I specifically linked @baldlivesmatter reach out to him and others.

moreBeardThanHair Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Thanks again @Melvin-Moderator I reached out to him and I will reach out to the clinic for referrals. Will slow down a bit for now. If anyone else has personal experience please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
