Senior Member mmhce Posted December 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2008 I would like to find out how many of the Coalition doctors have had hair transplants themselves? How did they find the experience and which hair transplant doctors did they choose? (when they were patients) What would they change if they had to do it over again? take care...

Regular Member celeb hair vet Posted December 22, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2008 Interesting topic. One thing I do know is that they obviously wouldnt have much choice if they started thinning out would they? Imagine a world class HT surgeon having a bald head. Might be bad for business. Ive met some HT doctors who have had HT, but ive noticed that unless you ask them about it they dont volunteer the information. I suppose everyone has a right to privacy. hardcore long-term veteran of hack plug doctors to ultra refined coalition doctors. knowledgeable about show business hair transplants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dewayne Posted December 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2008 Bernstein is very bald, but still considered one of the best ht surgeons. I heard he told someone since he was a NW 7 he never really was a candidate. Cooley had one from, I think Dr. Vogul. He tells about it in the video link on this site. His baldness is what made him change to hair transplantation. 100?

Senior Member Rachmunas4life Posted December 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2008 I was told Dr. Epstein had one from his staff. I thought he had really cool, natural looking hair! I'm very impressed by his staff's work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mmhce Posted December 22, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2008 It would be interesting to get responses from some of the actual Coalition doctors. It was the original intention of the post, though forum members are welcome to contribute. take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 mmhce, Not many of our recommended physicians follow every thread. So you may not get too many answers from doctors unless you email them to reply. I agree that this is an interesting topic Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically the doctor that did his HT spoke out against the Bolsey corporation on Dateline NBC I think If so, he's got a good looking head of transplanted hair imo. And, I imagine Dr. Bosley was / is a very good surgeon. The problem is, when the best doc starts franchising out then the original quality gets diluted or sometimes lost. Same thing with fried chicken. Colonel Sanders fried a very tasty bird back in the day, but now half the KFC's in America aren't fit to eat in as far as I'm concerned. 100?

Senior Member wantego Posted December 23, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2008 I like the idea that several doctors have had HT's done on themselves. It tells me they believed in the process. 4374 grafts-7/2/2008-Dr Rahal 485 singles 2336 doubles 1526 triples 16 quads 9809 total hairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Ricardo Mejia Posted December 24, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have got the good genes so do not need one at this time. Things may change but doubtful given my family history. There are many good doctors that I would trust to do my hair. I only wish I had a good revolving mirror.

Senior Member mmhce Posted December 24, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 24, 2008 Well Dr. Mejia...if you think you DO have the good genes, you can always check and be certain via the HairDX Genetic test. You can check out this thread, though I am sure you are familiar with the testing. http://hair-restoration-info.c...&r=73710365#73710365 http://www.regrowhair.com/gene...testing-with-hairdx/ http://hairdx.com/ take care...

That's interesting because one of his assiatants (not Jon) who helped me with the consultation told me Dr. Epstein's staff performed the H/T on Dr. E. I think he told me this because I was also interested in Dr. Shapiro! If so than he is just a typical salesman! Frankly thats how he came off in the first place. But he did get a hair transplant that looks 100% undetectable and should be extremely pleased with from whomever performed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Rachmunas4life Posted December 28, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hey Please Grow, Dr. Epstein only told me he had one done. I thought it looked 100% natural. One of his assistants told me his staff performed it. Regardless of who did it Dr. Epstein should be very pleased! I'm meeting Dr. Ron Shapiro on Tuesday. I'll ask him about it. : ) I'm very fortunante Dr. Shapiro is in the area where I live. 2 excellent surgeons giving me a thural consultation if very informative.

Senior Member latinlotus Posted December 31, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 31, 2008 Dr. Cooley had HT with dr. Vogel, and his result is fantastic. ******** I am not a doctor. The opinions and comments are of my own.

Senior Member Dewayne Posted December 31, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted December 31, 2008 The owner (son of founder) of Latham's Hair Clinic in Alabama told me he had a transplant there by Dr. Shory, who is the clinic's doctor. But, there is no damn way he had one and I think a lot of these places tell perspective patients that bullsh_t just to make the sale. This guy's hair looked perfect and natural, yet I get four hair plugs that are easily recognizable? It was '91 too, so I know (now) he was feeding me a line. On their website, you can see him running a comb through it like he's had one. It was the same video they showed me back then. Check it out....... http://www.lathamshairclinic.com/ 100?

Senior Member Rachmunas4life Posted January 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 1, 2009 So I found out that Dr. Shapiro gave Dr. Epstein a H/T 10 years ago. Dr. E's staff gave Dr. Epstein the second. Case closed and a wonderful job they both did! I never would have known he had one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
