Regular Member DavidJ Posted October 5, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted October 5, 2023 Hi All, I figured I should give everyone an update on how my journey is progressing as this group has been so helpful and informative. I had to postpone my intending session in September to April next year due to work commitments that required me to travel internationally. But during this time I have been discussing my situation and having "virtual consults via sending pictures" to a number of Doctors and thought I would share my findings. Eugenix Great consult with team Provided solid information and assessment on grafts required Felt very pushy for me to pay a deposit and make an appointment Assessment ~4400 grafts needed Doner hair was average and would be able to proved up to ~3500 grafts Remaining would come from beard ~$14,000 (AUD) Dr Yaman Easy communication (Ihsan was very easy to deal with) Fast response Very fileable with dates - doesn't need any deposit or is not pushy for payment Assessment ~4500 grafts needed Doner hair was average and would be able to proved up to ~3800 grafts Remaining would come from beard Would be done over 2 days ~$8,800 (AUD) Vertex Slow to respond Not much communication but provided a detailed response Assessment ~4500 grafts needed Doner hair was not mentioned Remaining would come from beard Would be done over 2 days ~$ 18,000 (AUD) Knudsen Clinic | Sydney In person meeting Rushed and not very friendly Assessment done in less than 15 min Assessment Can "maybe get 2000 grafts Doner hair was ok and had a few "2's and 3's" ~$16,000 (AUD) Dr Gur (Feucapilar) Very very slow to respond had to chase constantly for an update Assessment Doner hair is very low Wants me to see if donor area affected by hair loss Of all the virtual consults, only Dr Gur said the donor was bad (all doctors supplied with the same pictures - I posted them on my other thread) It does worry me a bit, but 4 out of 5 seemed to think the donor was ok. I am booked in with @Dr Resul Yaman on the 4th April 2024 and am now just counting down the days - I am really hoping to finally have some hair again!

I consulted with more than 15 clinics including most of the recommended ones on this forum. Out of all of them, Dr. Gur is the only one who said I have weak donor area. Most other clinics actually said I have very strong donor area. I also thought their response time was extremely slow and I was the one chasing them.
