Help Narrowing Down US Surgeons

[Jack28]

Hello,

First post after lurking here for a little while.  I am posting because after browsing here for a few months and looking at several doctors websites and results I am still having troubling narrowing down to which surgeon I would ultimately like to schedule with. 

I have narrowed it down just a bit to deciding I want to stay in the US (for easier follow ups and in case something goes wrong).  However it still looks like there are a ton of great options in the US and I am having trouble finding who is best for me. Location does not help narrow it down since there are no recommended docs in my area and will have to fly to any location. I am also trying to not narrow down based on price because after reading advice here I believe this shouldn’t be a deciding factor for surgery.

I have looked at Dr Konior, Dr Nadimi, Dr Vories, Dr Cooley, Dr Dorin, Dr Wong, Dr Gabel, and they all seem great and there are still plenty more US recommendations as well. Any advice on narrowing it down further?

My background I am 31, a Norwood 3A, have been on fin for 4ish years looking to restore my hairline in the front with FUE and wear my hair short.

Thank you.

Do video consultations with each of them. Ask to speak to past patients, then narrow down by your goals and objectives.

Out of that list I would choose Konior, Gabel, Dorin, in no particular order.

If money isn't a concern, Konior no question. The rest are fantastic as well - Nadimi uses the same team as Konior and produces great results. Gabel and Wong are brilliant as well.

Thanks for the feedback. Reaching out to previous patients on here is a good idea as well.

Are there any other US doctors I didn’t mention here that you would consider as “must look into” before deciding?

Hey Melvin,

Trying to message other users on here to ask them how they picked surgeons and about their experiences, but I don’t have the ability to DM on this account yet haha. Is there another way you would recommend to reach out to past patients?

Thanks

Have this same question as I am currently looking to narrow down a list of docs as well

Yes, they’re partners for a reason. Though Dr Hassan doesn’t do much FUT these days apparently
