Hello all,

I'm from UK and new to the forum but was motivated by the service level I received from Ed Ball and his team so had to post! They are superb in my opinion.

I can see that people do post pictures in these type of posts of progress and I hadn't considered doing that until now even though im only just 4.5 months since the transplant in June. Is that too early?

If you have any Q about my experience I will try and answer them and I will post some more on this thread.

I am now having PRP Therapy with the Maitland Clinic as. well - shall I post here or in a separate thread? please let me know the etiquette
For now here is my review post that I posted on a Review site to kick the 'Ball' off - no pun intended )(_::

My Review for a Review site
(Hair Transplant - STARTS)

"I came to the Maitland clinic and Dr Edward Ball via a glowing recommendation from a friend. I decided to take the plunge this year with a transplant.

I then experienced a superb experience from start to finish.

An incredibly professional clinic and I cannot fault their knowledge, advice about treatment options, products and future planning for my hair. Their medical standards for surgery/treatments are without doubt for me, higher than other countless clinics in the UK & abroad.

Initially David Anderson was my first point of contact who is 'Senior Patient Advisor' and is absolutely on the pulse of current knowledge, treatments (as of course is Edward Ball & the team once I met them) protocols (and their success rates) and he answered ALL my questions and set me at ease; after researching the process for years and years €“ it became a little overwhelming for me to understand things, David completely changed that for me.
Everyone is friendly, approachable and it was like meeting old friends: from David, to the medical staff/nurses to Edward himself.

I travelled to Portsmouth for both my initial consultation (as I preferred to meet both David & Edward) and of course for my procedure later. Just 2 hours away for me. Although you might think of London or Harley Street as an indicator of getting the best, I would say a recommendation sits much higher for me and it was a pleasure to visit and stay in Portsmouth actually, the clinic is currently in a large new build business complex and overlooks a super lake and forest vista - super relaxing.

The whole team and the aftercare were first class and they even refunded me some of my payment for the transplant as Doctor Ball used less grafts - what other company would do that?

I have stayed as a patient and have opted for continued PRP therapy as part of my maintenance.

I give the Maitland clinic full marks for their service, care and aftercare and I am sure they will continue to set the standard for the industry."

(Hair Transplant - ENDS)

When I get a moment I will at least post about my hair transplant progress (will have a think about photo)

I am super happy with the experience and the results so far - just 4.5 months in.

Thank you for telling us about your transplant with The Maitland Clinic. I'm from the UK so it's good to read positive reviews about clinics here in the United Kingdom.;)

Hi rspare!
Thank you for posting about your experience. We appreciate your kind words. I know it can be intimidating when first posting about your experience on a forum. It would be great if you could post a few pics of what your hair looked like before surgery and some pictures right after surgery to start. Then you can update with photos and give feedback of your progresses.
It €™s great to hear you €™re happy so far at 4 1/2 months and we look forward supporting and following your progress as you achieve full results!

Hi 'shinytop' No worries!

Once my friend shared me with he had a transplant and said Edward Ball - The Maitland Clinic, I decided to do my own up to date research on the various forums, as id been considering one for so long...and researching every few years into things.

After reading up, I found there where 2 possibly 3 clinics/surgeons in the UK which I would deem 'safe' to meet my own standards lol, Edward Ball was one of them.

I eventually plucked up the courage and David Anderson contacted me, and then I booked in!

I realise hair transplant generally are not pocket change but with something so personal and I view it as an investment, I feel patients should be looking at quality, technique/aesthetics (how it will look) and after care - not the cheapest way of getting a hair transplant & jetting off abroad in some instances.

One of the first thing that stood out for me about The Maitland Clinic is that they want to plan for the future (should it involve being under their wing or not) and not just give you the treatment and boot you out the door.
;)

Hi 'janna' will have a think about this and contact you directly for photos and then decide! Does seem like photos would be really helpful for members here.
speak soon
