BespokeHair Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hello - for a large FUT transplant, which Doctor would I be in the best hands of? Any factual differences? Christine Shaver of Bernstein, or Dr. Boden or Dr. Cohen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BespokeHair Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 or perhaps do I make the trip to H&W? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted November 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hasson & Wong are arguably the best you can get! If it’s a option for you then yes why not go for it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BespokeHair Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Just debating if a large FUT with either of these would really be that different of an outcome - they all seem quite qualified. but thats why i'm here asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted November 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Search the forum for results from H&W and compare with Your other choices. From what I have seen over the years is stellar results from H&W and in the cases of FUT practically invisible Scars. Beautiful hairlines too. Not taking anything away from Bernstein though, they did pioneer FUT. Edited November 11, 2020 by JohnAC71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BespokeHair Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 yup, i've been reading quite a bit on here helpful. I'm wondering if I should consider Konior as well. chicago would be easier than canada these days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted November 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2020 Always a good idea to consult with at least 3 Drs/Clinics. Your choosing elite Drs. Konior does have a pretty long waiting list usually. Impressed as your choosing the best and not asking based on $$$ 😀 How large a FUT are your thinking approx? Are you able to share any pics of your current situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2020 I have been really impressed with Dr. Shaver, her ethics are top notch, her results look great as well. Check out my interview with her last month. I'm not too familiar with the other names, but I think you're in safe hands with Dr. Shaver. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

If it’s a option for you then yes why not go for it ! Question for you and the group - H&W get a lot of love on this forum. I myself have a date with them, but Canada is not looking good for the foreseeable future...like to the point where discouragement is setting in. But since my date keeps moving out, I've had a chance to take a step back and analyze (and criticize) my decision making process. So here's the question: WHAT is it that makes H&W the best? What competitive advantage do they have over everyone else that (in today's climate) makes it worth waiting for the border to re-open? I feel like I've done tons of research over 3+ years and consulted with 5+ of top tier doctors from this forum, but I'd like to hear from people smarter than me with clear datapoints that support the argument of why they are considered the best. (and to talk me down from going to another Doctor - Konior and Gable) Is it they have more techs who are skilled enough to do megasessions? Is it because they are more ethical? Can they pack denser grafts? Looking forward to your responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I’m not gonna say any clinic is the best, because I think there are clinics that are best suited for specific patients. But there history and track record is what makes them so desirable.

Senior Member Britanium Posted November 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2020 Yep it’s the consistency of putting out stunning results. The donor management, the beautiful hairlines. The mega FUT sessions are something else they excel in. Surely 2 of the most experienced Drs you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bloxham went 2600 FUT. also it’s hard to compare because i don’t know how far back to my mid scalp H&W would’ve gone. with that being said... yes I am very please with how the grafts are packed from Dr. Bloxham. the front 3-4 rows of the hairline are super densely packed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted November 12, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) I highly recommend that you look into @Dr Blake Bloxham His results are amazing and he's highly recommended here too.

It’s a good point in how each doctor/clinic chooses to quantify grafts. There is absolutely no reason to believe hearsay and nonsense. There’s zero proof other than “I’ve heard.” There’s a problem with this going on here, and the forum shouldn’t listen to hearsay. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
