Regular Member Mint 400 Posted March 21, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2009 I am new to the site but extremely pleased to find a forum that sifts through the BS and is committed to providing patients with the latest, most accurate information about HT's and recommended surgeons. I have a procedure scheduled in April with Dr. Lindsey, McLean, Virginia and to this point he has surpassed all of my expectations. He has been prompt when answering inquiries and seems to genuinely care about his patients. I am coming from out-of-state and he was kind enough to call in the prescriptions for me. Another doctor could have written me a script after the procedure and directed me to the nearest drug store, but Dr. Lindsey did not do that, he went above and beyond. I am looking forward to the procedure and can't wait to provide post-op pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Acrobaz Posted March 25, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2009 Good luck M4. Your pattern of hair loss is similar to mine and I'd be interested to see if you have a similar number of grafts (3,200 in my case). Are you going strip or FUE?

Senior Member Eman Posted March 25, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2009 Also, what was your estimate given for your procedure? You have chosen a great doc...you are in good hands My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mint 400 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks guys for the encouraging words. I have been communicating with Dr. Lindsey via email and have spoken with him on the phone. So far he has been top notch and his results prove that. As for my individual case I sent him some pictures and he estimated (since we haven't consulted in person yet) that his best guess would be (strip) 2200 grafts of which about half would be singles and half doubles for around 9k. To put this in perspective, I had originally scheduled a procedure with Bosley for roughly the same number of grafts and they wanted to charge 13k+ Something wasn't sitting right with me so I researched Bosley and the Dr. that was supposed to do the procedure but could find next to no results of the clinic or patients this Dr. had worked on. This worried me so I started doing my homework and was lucky to find the Hair Restoration Forum with unbiased results from real people. (The colorful Bosley info. packet just didn't cut it for me) no pun intended. My consultation is April 8th and the procedure is April 9th so I'm getting close. I am anxious, excited and ready to begin this journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Mint 400 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thank you guys for the continuous support. The procedure went very smoothly and Dr. Lindsey and his staff were wonderful from the moment I walked in, until the moment I left. Dr. Lindsey worked on my right frontal triangle and his assistant Wendy (very skilled with a good sense of humor) worked on my left frontal triangle. I made a friendly bet with them that which ever side grows in best dinner would be on me! Time to wait...and wait...and wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Right on Mint 400. I'm glad everything went well for you and expect to see some great things for you. Heal and grow well! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mint 400 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 17, 2009 Bill, Thanks for you post!! I will be updating my blog this weekend and it is amazing the transformation I have already made from day 1 post-op to currently day 8. I look like a new man, swelling has vanished and I have a blood and scab free hairline. My fiance was with me through every step and she even commented on how much better I look. I know the tough part is ahead with the shedding of grafts but need to stay positive and know that good things are ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
