Senior Member vincehair Posted July 21, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2009 Does a doctor being a member of this mean jack crap? I noticed one of the main 2009 committee members is Kennith J. Washenik who is the main doctor douchebag on all the Bosley commercials. He is also the medical director at Bosley.

Senior Member youngsuccess Posted July 22, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2009 My first surgeon was affiliated with this organization. I wasn't butchered, but repair work was/is still necessary. He is a very competent plastic surgeon, but had no business performing hair transplantation, and has since stopped offering it at his practice. So I'd argue that the criteria for membership isn't too stringent based on my experience. ------- All opinions are my own and my advice should not constitute as medical advice.

Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted July 22, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2009 I just looked up the doctors in my state and there are about 15 straight up HACKS on there Seeing that I would say it doesnt mean jack crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted July 22, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2009 Doesn't hold much salt. Being ISHRS would never really factor into my decision making in considering a doctor. The Coalition is pretty much the creme de la creme of "organizations" that maintain an upwards trend of excellence while always keeping an eye out on potential applicants. ISHRS is often just smoke and mirrors for hacks to pump themselves up. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Bill - Seemiller Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Vincehair, I know your intentions are good. However, we do not host any links that reference Spencer Kobren's websites which includes his IAHRS. There are a number of reasons for this however, to refrain from stirring unnecessary controversy, I won't go into it here. Thanks for understanding, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
