Senior Member Der3k7 Posted October 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm wondering why the wait time for hw is so short at only a couple of months where most other top clinics are like a full year wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border issues and they are also very expensive. Combine those two issues and you get a lower wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would sprint to H&W if they are low wait times. Enjoy the luxury as they are typically booked 6 months to a year out. Good luck! 1st Procedure: 3332 FUE Grafts | Shapiro Medical Group | 10.29.20 2nd Procedure: 1908 FUE Grafts | Shapiro Medical Group | 11.13.23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Der3k7 Posted October 7, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2021 oh yeah also they have 2 surgeons instead of just 1. 14 hours ago, hybonix said: I would sprint to H&W if they are low wait times. Enjoy the luxury as they are typically booked 6 months to a year out. Good luck! actually when I was consulting with them over a year ago their wait time was still only 2-3 months. It's about 2-3 months now too cuz my friend just booked with them for December a few days ago. I'm still debating on Freitas too. I gotta keep looking at more posted results of both surgeons. I'm starting to shy away from Diep now because of the reviews ive seen about him planting in rows and I don't like how he harvests all in one spot.

When I called, I got quoted a 6 month timeline and the patient coordinator said they are usually booked for awhile. Although, I was eyeing Hasson only, so maybe that is why. Good to know for the future. Regarding Diep, yeah there are still concerns I see. Melvin had a life changing experience and so did a couple others. However, there are still too many inconsistencies regarding his surgeries that I have seen. Leaving a bloody mess on one, bad bedside manner, cornrow implantation, donor site extraction issues and etc. He does have his home runs, but I would rather go with a surgeon who is always consistent. 1st Procedure: 3332 FUE Grafts | Shapiro Medical Group | 10.29.20 2nd Procedure: 1908 FUE Grafts | Shapiro Medical Group | 11.13.23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taochange Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Do we have to quarantine once you get to Canada? I just want to go do my procedure and then peace out! It appears according to https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/isolation that a 14 day quarantine is still required? I'm between Hasson and Cooley. I'm thinking I don't have a choice because I'm not wasting 14 days in quarantine to wait for a procedure. I'm not independently wealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I considered them a long time ago when I was debating between them and diep and I had my mind set on diep for awhile but I'm hesitant to go with him now because of some things I've seen on the patient posted results here so now I am looking at as many results from hw and Freitas as I can to choose between them.

Regular Member ManeMan Posted October 23, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) I had a HT from Hasson two weeks ago and in my consult I asked him about the waitlist out of curiosity. He said that part of the reason that theirs seems short is that each doctor is doing 2 a day with the help of all the great technicians they have doing most of the extractions and implanting. He mentioned they average 20 a week at the clinic so they are doing a higher volume than others most likely, and they're able to keep the quality pretty high at the same time.
