Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted July 21, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) I am looking for a consistent, highly capable doctor who can do a no-frills, high yield 1500 graft density fill-in. This will be the final surgery in a 4 round repair journey. Gabel is quite curious to me. He was trained by Konior and reviews of him seem good. But there are only a very small amount of reviews of him. And his name rarely pops up on any of the HT forums. Are there any specific reasons Gabel is seen as a good doctor, yet paradoxically his name almost never pops up and reviews are sporadic? I've heard he handles all prospective inquiries himself and has a tendency to ghost/stop communicating with candidates he for whatever reason does not want to work with. Could this have anything to do with his lack of publicity? Are there any bad density cases with him? I unfortunately MUST cross him (and any doctor) off my list that has density issues. Essentially - Is Dr. Gabel a trusted/vetted doctor even though he flies under the radar? Edited July 21, 2023 by HappyMan2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 21, 2023 Administrators Share Posted July 21, 2023 Dr. Gabel is one of the best, he’s extremely detailed and hands-on, he’s the west coast Dr. Konior. He’s touted a lot online. He does no marketing, almost of all of his patients are word of mouth, or referrals from past patients. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted July 21, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2023 Maybe it's because I'm a Naderite, but it's always seemed like a green flag when a surgeon gets by with minimal social media/web presence. If you're running a successful HT clinic with little web presence it speaks to the fact that your results are good enough that you're getting enough business on word of mouth and don't need to go fishing for prospective clients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas if a Dr is bad or slow at responding back it probably means they're super involved in the process and thus don't have the ability to "scale up", and also aren't hungry for business because they are fully booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nader is on my inquiry list as well. But I've heard he now has around a 1 yr waitlist due to his newfound popularity and that is a big turnoff for me honestly lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted July 21, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2023 Yes I'm 8 months post op with Nader. Long waitlist is a sign of a good surgeon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
