Regular Member johndang Posted June 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 17, 2022 I am located in alabama, I was recommended dr charles in boka Florida. I would have to travel to him to get it done. Is he good ? I have read posts here of people liking his work and I saw a post of someone who didn't like his transplant result from dr charles and said charles gave him less grafts than paid for. Just wanting to know if anyone has had good or bad experiences with charles medical group and if so/not did you have FUT or FUE? Here is the thread I am mentioning - The person says dr charles gave him less grafts then paid for and is unhappy with the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dillpickle123 Posted June 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2022 It depends how you style your hair if you have long hair FUT would work you’ll have a long linear scar on the back, FUE you have to style your hair shorter on the sides and they’ll be small fue scars, if your willing to travel there’s great surgeons all around the country and money is not a problem but if your willing to go to Europe there’s some excellent options too what Norwood are you?

Senior Member Chetman2112 Posted June 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2022 I don’t like his results based on my research, just my opinion. When I look at his Instagram most of his post don’t even show the patients hairline, also the results I studied on this forum don’t impress me, I think you would be better off doing more research. Konior, Nadimi, are in my opinion the best in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Buck Naked Posted June 18, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2022 I had my FUT surgery with Dr. Charles like 12 years ago and am very happy with my results. He's an extremely skilled and ethical surgeon. I recommend him wholeheartedly. I'm going to go with him again for my crown work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konior, Nadimi, are in my opinion the best in the US. There is no way Nadimi is the among the best in the US. Konior is definitely the best. Nadimi doesn't even do sessions greater than like 2,000 grafts and does a lot of other surgeries asides from hair transplants. Gabel is way better than Nadimi and is a Konior protege and only does hair transplants. Dorin, Panine, Mohebi, Wesley, Charles, Shapiro, H&W and Cooley are among the best.

Senior Member Chetman2112 Posted June 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2022 Just my opinion, but I will say this she does HT 4 days a week, so when you say she does a lot of other surgery’s it’s because she volunteers at a veterans hospital to help wounded veterans, but her primary focus is Ht. Also she limits her sessions to 2k because she does every part of the surgery, so get your facts straight. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE TRUTH Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Hard to comment on this... I'll tell ya what... I know Dr. Glenn Charles. He is a well respected surgeon in the hairloss community. He's been around for a very long time. But this specific case shows the reality of the hair transplant world... Even the best surgeons have very bad results...although they are statistically minimal. Hasson & Wong too have similar cases, I've seen them and I'm sure Dr. Konior has had bad cases throughout the years too...Just like any other surgeon in the world. At the end of the day, surgery is always a lottery even with the best. It's a risk and a gamble and it is important to accept that before you decide to move forward and get it done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On her own website she states she does rhinoplasty, face lifts, blepharoplasty, etc. So I do have my facts straight. I would choose a surgeon who only performs hair transplant surgery. There is no way she's among the best. The other surgeons I mentioned are a lot better. Gabel does like 5 surgeries a week and he's involved in every part of the surgery and he does a ton of cases of greater than 2,000 grafts. His work is amazing. Konior is the best imo. Also, the notion that a surgeon has to be involved in every aspect of the surgery is a marker of good quality is BS. You can delegate some stuff to very qualified staff to get great results. Also, in Chicago Dr. Panine is better than Dr. Nadimi. He does every aspect of the surgery too. I think his price is less than Dr. Nadimi.

Regular Member FrontalTuft Posted June 18, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2022 I’m not getting into who is the best or who is better than who but I will say there is a misconception about Dr. Nadimi on the forum. I recently had a consultation with her and went in thinking that she only preformed procedures up to 2000 grafts based on what I’ve seen/read on the forum. I was surprised when meeting with her that she regularly does procedures over 2000 grafts but she will schedule the procedure over 2 days for anything over 2000. Her initial email response for anyone who contacts her seems to consistently say a recommendation of 1500-2000 grafts but once you are at your consultation she will do a more thorough evaluation based on your needs/wants with a more accurate recommendation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally agree that Nadimi is amongst the best in the states. also, before making claims let’s make sure we know all the facts. Her surgeries are usually capped at 2k grafts for fue. That’s because, as the other poster mentioned, she’s involved in all steps. For FUT I’m sure it’s higher. she does other surgeries because, like konior, she is a specialized doctor in head and neck surgery. Many head and neck surgeons also specialize in facial plastics. If anything, that’s a bonus because she understands all the harmony a face requires, including the location of the hairline. I see a lot of doctors with an emergency medicine speciality or general surgeon speciality going into hair transplantation because it’s a lucrative path and “easy.” Konior and Nadimi do not fall into this category. look at their post op photos, they’re some of the cleanest in the industry. Every single graft is trimmed with precision. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Chetman2112 Posted June 20, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2022 @5BetaReductase totally agree with your post and yes the post op photos are constantly clean, and the results look totally natural, these two factors are the reason I’m scheduled with Dr Nadimi in Nov. and I will document my results for the forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
