i am using my real first and last name because i am not an anonymous coward, this is a real bad experience. this surgery i got from this clinic i regret every day. this clinic will rush you into a surgery because they know that most smart people that actually do their research would stay away. i already wrote a bbb complaint against this clinic and i feel as if it is my duty as a human being to warn people to stay away from them. the only reason why i have a medical cannabis card is because of my horrible experience with this clinic and their horrible surgery that i regret every day. not only i got permanent nerve damage from the surgery, i feel as if i am a victim of medical malpractice, marketing fraud, and ptsd. the nerve pain is still in the same spot as i remember very clearly from the actual surgery. the graft survival was low because they used the garbage robot which wasn't even FDA approved for my case. i only took out about 1000 fue but i clearly wouldn't ever seriously consider using more donor. they will use used car sales tactics at you like "half-price" and "i don't need to take your money" and "we have a special demo for other doctors, would you like to participate?". this "doctor" claims i had more donor than i'd agree with. do yourself a favor, do your research and stay away from these con artist scammers. the only nice thing i took away from this surgery was that when i signed up for health insurance, i mentioned that this surgery robbed me of my quality of life and i struggle with nerve pain every day and the health insurance provider gave me a hugely discounted monthly rate. anyway, if i see positive reviews for this clinic i'd just assume it is a fake review paid for by the "doctor"

last thing i want to mention would be that this clinic actually drugged me with xanax (alprazolam) weeks before the surgery. i assumed that the doctor wanted to remove my critical thinking skills and make me more docile enough to agree to this second rate garbage surgery technique. i remember being so drugged out during the surgery with valium and xanax that i saw a medical device with my blood on it and i was like "woah, is that my blood?". so i was in this drugged out, zombified, fugue state because of the doctor and i dont think in my normal sober mind would i ever agree to anything like this. the large punch outside diameter is simply not worth it, it was something crazy like 1.2mm? what the hell was i thinking? moral of the story here is don't do drugs kids! i dont know why they would give me this stuff, i never been diagnosed with anxiety or any mental illness before and never took any kind of medication like this before the surgery.
