jlf2610 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I’m sure you guys get asked for suggestions constantly, but I’ve been doing research on HT doctors for several months now (if you counted simply perusing photo galleries here and there, you could say years), and I find myself so indecisive in choosing one. Some background on me: I’m looking to get the transplant at 24. I started losing hair at 15, hopped on min at 20, added fin at 22, and I’ve seen no additional hairloss and even some gains over the last few years. I also wanted to get an eyebrow filled in a bit from a scar. Nothing too crazy, but it’s important to me. My budget isn’t unlimited, but it’s high. I’ve spent a long time saving for a HT (knowing that I’ve wanted one since high school), and I don’t want to half-ass this, so I’m willing to pay for a top surgeon. So far, I’ve been most impressed by Drs. Hasson and Wong, Dr. Baubac, and Dr. Bernstein. But I’ve also read some less than stellar things about all of them the deeper I dug. Someone DM’d me on reddit about avoiding Baubac at all costs, and I’ve seen a lot of recent negative reviews about H&W’s FUE. Any feedback is appreciated, and, once I do actually get this procedure done, I look forward to sharing results with you guys. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted September 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hasson & Wong have been putting out top class work for many years. If you look hard enough your going to find less than stellar work on every single Dr out there. I wouldn’t rule them out. As you have probably already seen there are many clinic and patient results on the forum. And they are recommended. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 9, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2020 I haven’t seen one negative review about H&W FUE. You have very different doctors there, bernstein is a pioneer in strip, Baubac is part of a clinic that sued us years back for not removing negative reviews. I would use this forum for a research tool and look at actual patient reviews. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

While he's less experienced than the surgeons you mentioned, his work so far has been amazing and he's well known. 1 My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

I see that Bloxham and Feller have a Philadelphia office, which would be convenient since that’s where I’m from. I’ll have to look more into Dr. Bloxham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlf2610 Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that’s provided feedback thus far. I feel much more comfortable about H&W, especially looking through results on here. I’m ruling out Baubac. I’m going to look into Feller and Bloxham since they apparently have a Philly office, which would be very convenient for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted September 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2020 I went with Feller at 23 and had a very good result - it's a conservative hair line / mid-scalp that has kept plenty of grafts in reserve for future loss. H&W are my first choice for when I eventually get my crown sorted out. The best advice for a young person is to be content for a conservative 'mature' hair line....you can always add to it later on if the rest of your hair holds up 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week. Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
