Choosing a Doctor

Tips for Finding a GOOD Hair Transplant Doctor

It is so important to be discerning when looking for a hair transplant doctor. Making a poor decision when choosing a physician can be catastrophic. Patients have to look out for salesmen that promise the moon and the stars. Some doctors tell patients what they want to hear just to make a sale. Sometimes great results can be achieved in one sitting but usually hair restoration is a cumulative process that builds up the cosmetic result desired. If the feeling you get in a doctor's office is that you are being railroaded into a commitment, run away. A reputable surgeon will not pressure patients into cosmetic surgery.

A reputable hair transplant physician:

  • will be able to formulate a good plan for the patient
  • will have numerous before and after pictures to review
  • can provide references upon request
  • will MAKE the time to meet with you personally for a one-on-one consultation and won't pass you off to a counselor instead.
  • will be able to explain at a comprehensible level all about the surgery and about the expected results. Usually results vary from patient to patient and also depend upon the type of hair and the patient's own density
