What to Look For In a Doctor?

What should I look for in a doctor that does hair transplants?

In real estate, the most important thing is location, location, location. In hair transplant doctors, the most important thing is experience, experience, experience. You should look for someone who has years of experience in performing surgical procedures, such as a general surgeon, a plastic surgeon, or a dermatologist who does surgery. On top of that, you would want someone with years of experience doing hair transplants, and preferably someone who does that exclusively. You would also want to know what type of technique he/she uses, and only go with someone who does state of the art follicular unit transplants. You would want to know about the medical assistants that work with the doctor, since they are critical to the operative results. Hair transplantation is such a labor intensive operation that no doctor can do it alone; he or she needs help, and the assistants must be as good in their part of the operation as the doctor is in his/her part. The other thing that is important is that you see doctors’ work, preferably at a open house situation where you can actually see surgery being performed and see actual patients that they have operated on, and look at the result in person, not just in pictures. You need to spend time with the doctor, have your questions answered fully and with candor. You must have full confidence in him or her, and be assured that they are not just someone who wants to sell you something.
