Regular Member kriss Posted February 19, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted February 19, 2008 Okay, I've posted about several other Drs, but I've narrowed my search (for the right DR for me) down to Dr. Jerry Cooley in NC and Dr. Ron Shapiro in MN. I know, it's my decesion, plus there are other great DRs too. But looking for any last feedback on these DRs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted February 19, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2008 Did both docs give you (roughly) the same analysis and prognosis? ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

I know, it's my decesion, plus there are other great DRs too. But looking for any last feedback on these DRs? Both seem to be great surgeons. I'm curious how you got it down to those two, as the geography (I know it's not supposed to matter) is not similar. For my research, I looked all over and the south specifically and figured if everything was equal I'd go to Charlotte instead of say, Las Vegas. Do you live in the south? Another thing for me was cost (I know that shouldn't matter either). But, the way I looked at it - if surgeon A is great by all accounts, and surgeon B and C are too, but A is $4 per graft and 300 miles away, and B is $6 per graft but 100 miles away, and C is $4 also but is in Billings, Montana or wherever; then I should choose A. So, really when deciding between two or three elite surgeons, then price and location should matter some. Am I correct? Anyway, I don't think you could go wrong with either. If you plan on going back for a six month, it would be nice if it were a one-hour plane read instead of a four-hour I suppose. 100?

Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted February 19, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2008 Dr Shapiro is one of the best hair transplantation doctors in the world ,. Thats obviously my opinion and alot of others also but hes also a great caring guy. .Dr Cooley does good work but what I love about SMG is the work they do ,staff and aftercare. You cant go wrong with either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member nobuzz4me Posted February 19, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2008 You are safe with either surgeon, GL. Curious, what are the cost differences if any? Where do you live? NoBuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kriss Posted February 21, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 21, 2008 Cooley is the best , IMO, that I could drive too. And Shapiro was the best, IMO, otherwise - meaning I would have to fly. Consider H&W , but I am more comfortable stsying in the US. I feel Shapiro is every bit as good as H&W. If all things were equal, I was thinking stay closer, with Cooley. Price is basicaly the same. Thinking about flipping a quarter, ha! ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
