Why the Doctors Staff Matters

In ten years of answering thousands of questions from prospective patients you might think you have answered every question possible. That is mostly accurate except the one question I never got. "Who are your technicians and can you tell me about their abilities" Now that would be a great question. The little known secret, that is not so secret after the procedure is completed, is that the technicans are critical to your results.
Doctors who aspire to do multiple procedures in one day and employ large staffs are not advantageous to the patient. Advantage doctor,(cha ching $$$) disadvantage patient. Quality control is difficult at best with that much activity. We are changing people's lives not making burgers. If every one is focused on you for the day you will spend less time in the chair, get less injections, and your grafts won't be sitting off to the side waiting to be placed. The doctor will also recognize you when you come in for follow-up.
To put it simply, why be one of 5 surgeries for the day when you can have all the attention for yourself that you deserve on your big day.

Is FUE for You?

Follicular Unit Extraction is being touted on the net as a superior way of moving follicles from the donor area to the recepient area. In rare cases (minimal lifetime hair loss) it may be an acceptable option. Is it superior? For the doctor, yes. He gets to charge twice the price and has a part of the population who is searching for different and better as a captive audience. Is it better for the patient? If the patient doesn't mind spending twice as much for the procedure, getting less hair per procedure, and a much higher transection(damage rate) and have a different type of scar in the donor area, yes.

Don't drink the Kool-aide. Check out Dr. Bolton's followups and see if you can find the donor scar. Good-luck.
