Senior Member Big Rome Posted July 15, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2023 I have been lurking on this forum since May 2022 trying to desperately find a solution to solve my hair dilemma. It has helped me so much with the research of potential doctors & gaining knowledge on the transplant process. i just finished my 1363 Follicular Units (Repair Case) with the wonderful DR Pinto on Wednesday the 12th & just wanted to thank the forum & the very helpful people on it for assisting me in getting it done! Wouldn’t have been possible without finding the HRN! I will probably update a thread on my progress in the coming days/weeks. thanks again everybody 💙 truly a brilliant forum 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted July 15, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) @Big Rome congratulations and best of luck...you have chosen a great surgeon and one of my favorite one....hope evrythn goes well this time and you get a satisfactory outcome....will wait to see your thread... HRN really help people like you and me and many others and will keep the good work going.....i sometimes see some criticism regarding some doctors and all but imo every recommended list should be taken as a source of information regarding different names and work of doctor and than we have to do our research....but only choosing a doctor should not be the aim...people should first get basic knowledge about HT and how it is done and what are the factors affecting the outcome of a surgery and this forum provides deep knowledge about all that..we even get knowledge about medication as well..we can get so much of knowledge from so many educated members and some doctors present here...plus we can see so many real patient reviews and opinions on so many doctors all over the world....evrythn and evryone including us have a room for improvements and that can be done steadily and gradually with consensus....

Thank you 😊 I booked my consultation in September 2022, the earliest slot back then was June the 16th 2023. I got really lucky, I pleaded for any cancellations & one came up for July the 12th so I only waited just over 3 weeks from consultation to surgery lol 🎉 I think consultations with DR Pinto are currently around may 2024 but I’d reach out to his coordinator Emilio if I was you & he can advise you better (Emilio is brilliant btw, very helpful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would appreciate if you could send me Emilio's contact, maybe dm? Also if you are comfortable sharing the price point. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
