Regular Member DaveOHiggins Posted November 23, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hi Folks Am a newbie and am keen on an HT after many years of hesitation. Came across HRN's excellent site and have got so much from it in terms of info. Farjo seems to be mentioned lots on here with generally good comments so I started delving deeper. Obviously he has an amazing list of celebs who have used the clinic. However yesterday I came across this Which has a lot of bad content on Farjo. am a bit unsettled now - could be simply a nut job with an agenda or a genuine patient who had a poor experience...anyone have any thoughts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted November 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) I've never been impressed by Farjo. Certainly, by UK standards he is acceptable, but not in the same league as the 2 elite HT surgeons in the UK (Dr. Ball, Dr. Reddy), and not even on the same planet as the best ones charging the same price. He can not produce high density HTs and I've seen a couple of bad results and almost no outstanding ones. I have this theory that what truly shows how skilled a surgeon is are the results they get from female HTs and one of his results in that department, actually featured on his website is just unnatural and sub-standard imo.

Senior Member Britanium Posted November 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 23, 2020 In the Uk nowadays I would have to say Dr Arshad seems to be doing some really good work. And yes I agree Dr Ball too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Curious25 Posted November 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 23, 2020 Yea Dr Arshad definitely worth checking out - the patient threads of his floating about the forums at the moment are impressive, and he's pretty reasonably priced. Dr Reddy and Dr Ball put out good work, but with regards to their prices, if you can afford them, their results don't justify choosing them over any of the Elites in Europe (which are considerably cheaper) or flying over to the US/Canada and seeing Konior or H&W etc. I'm from the UK and would only recommend getting surgery there if you can't/don't want to travel, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted November 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 23, 2020 I flew from London to New York for my HT 8 years ago...next time around I will go to either H&W or Hattingen. The UK seems to have a much better doctors now but the cost is the same as going to an elite surgeon elsewhere, which makes it a no brainer for me to once again not consider the UK. I saw an excellent Farjo case on an older gentleman recently but that seems the only WOW result I can recall. To me that generally seems his best type of patient - older and with reduced expectations. 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.

Mick from Farjo Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 We along with the Maitland clinic and Dr Reddy were falsely maligned on FB as well as a few individuals involved in the hair industry. Whilst i am fairly sure who did this, trying to get it removed is another matter. 1 Patient coordinator for Dr. Bessam Farjo who is an esteemed member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member DaveOHiggins Posted November 24, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 24, 2020 Thanks a lot all for the helpful input..so I guess looking further afield may be a good idea, although must say Farjo was looking good up until that point for me, may still choose him.

No matter who it is you lean towards, it's always good to look around and consider others based on results and patient reviews. 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2020 I see that there’s quite a few of those “the truth” fb pages. They have ones Joe Tillman, Spencer Kobren, etc. It’s pretty clear they’re troll pages created by the same person. Regardless, best of luck to you whomever you choose.
