shadowsauce Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 hey there - I'm contemplating getting an FUE surgery with Dr Michael Wolfeld in NYC, but I haven't been able to find any reviews online or seen him on any recommended lists. Ordinarily I'd just go with Bernstein or one of the other reputable doctors in the area but unfortunately I want to do the procedure sooner, as I am in the process of changing jobs. Has anyone had any experience with him? As I understand it he may have used to work for Dr Bernstein, so maybe he has done some surgeries in the past under that name?

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2021 Alarm bells should be ringing here... Anybody who’s readily available and you cannot find any reviews ? Please reconsider this. Wait until you can go to a decent/proven Dr/Clinic. Otherwise you will regret your decision at a later date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2021 I don’t know what your particular requirements are but this Dr uses the ARTAS system for FUE. Something most people will run away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2021 Have you consulted with any other top docs in New York? Bloxham, True and Dorin, Wesley to name a few?

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted June 21, 2021 Moderators Share Posted June 21, 2021 As others have said there are several excellent Drs in the NY area. I understand that time constraints can sometimes be an issue. Many of us have faced that issue as well. However please realize that the effects of a poor procedure done at the desired time frame now can last many years as opposed to only a few months of bad timing done the right way. With that said I don't know anything about Dr Wolfeld to say if he is any good or not. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Regular Member nyc_wm45 Posted June 24, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) 45 yo WM ... stage 4.5-5 male patter boldness ... was considering an FUE procedure So I called Dr Wesley's office - not even a meeting until mid-Sept. I saw Dr Stoller (it was a 2 week wait), but kind of on the fence with the experience. Dr. Woffeld seems to have some availability ... but I am just struggling to find reviews I could trust ... On another hand seems these procedures have been so commoditized, that does it really matter? (Saw someone on reddit mentioning that Woffeld was trained by Bernstein (and in fact Dr W did work for Bernstein for almost 5 years) Edited June 24, 2021 by nyc_wm45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nyc_wm45 Posted August 6, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) I just had 2200 done FUE with Dr Wolfeld. Asked around about him - he did work a lot with Dr Bernstein and some of his staff (which was amazing) also came from Dr Bernstein practice. All-in-all the experience was very good (I am only 1 day post op, so will post an update on the results in the future) Edited August 6, 2021 by nyc_wm45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
