Re: Bob Bernstein from NHI, NJ

[meelak]

Hellow everybody,

 

I am thinking of choosing Dr.Bernstein for my HT procedure. He is from NHI and practices in NJ and NY. I don't know a lot about this doctor. Is there anybody out there who had HT done by this doctor and if so, how good or bad he is. I would like to know the good and bad please.

 

Also, if there is any link to any websites for this doctor would be appreciated. I went to the NHI websites and it doesn't say much about this doctor. Please help!!

 

Thanks.

i'm 9 months post op from a dr b. ht,all is well

and looking real good.read all my posts,by clicking on my name and you will see all the

highs and lows,i went through and they're all normal.don't worry,dr b is good and you're in

good hands,but i do understand your concerns.

go to a seminar and see one in progress,the

neatness of it is what really grabbed me,and

you'll meet actual patients with good results.

good luck

When did you go back to work and was your HT noticeable? That is a huge concern of mine.

i had it done on a friday,and was back to work on

monday.there will be redness,especially if

grafting into bald skin,but honestly it wasn't

as bad and ugly as you may think.what i would

do if i were you,was what i did and it convinced

me to go ahead with it.there are open houses

where you can actually see a procedure in

progress,call nhi to find out when,the neetness

of the procedure was amazing,no blood or mess

like you may think.you'll actually see the

follicles placed in the guys head,and it's

quite simple and neet.when i saw this,it helped

me to go forward.for about 10 days after procedure,

you will be slightly red,so if you can wear a hat

or take a week or so off that will do you justice.

go to the open house,and see it being done,very

important if your hesitant,you'll see it doesn't

look bad then,so you'll have an idea on what to

expect.good luck

Thanks Figsy for the feedback. I did go back and read all your posts and in one of them you have mentioned that the doctor himself doesn't place the grafts - his technicians do it. I am not happy with this. Do all the doctors let their technicians do it? It will definitely give me comfort feeling if my doctor is doing everything. Also, is he really in the top 3 in the world? WOW!!

 

This is a question for everybody. Why do we have to pay the entire fee up front? Why can't the doctors get half before and half after the procedure. This way there is some pressure on them not to screw it up.

 

Thanks again!!

most do let the techs do it.i too was concerned

about it,but by seeing it done in person,you'll

see there's no science in placing the grafts.what

they will tell you and makes sense is that,the

aestetics is in the cutting and angling.dr b

does all the cutting of the sites and donor strip.

you should discuss that with him if it concerns

you.he does though supervise the placing,but says

the techs do it so often,they're better than he

at it.who knows if that is actually the case,but

by anymeans the work is nice,judging from mine

and others i have seen,but be sure.go to an open

house if you haven't already and watch as they

do it.by the way dr. b was one of the pioneers

of the fut procedure,i spent countless hours

reading articles from various medical journals

that he wrote.these articles outline the facts

for other doctors to learn from,so yes the guy

is one of the top 3,and highly regarded.good luck
