Bigmac,

I finally joined the site as i told you i would get round to doing it.I

I actually work for for Dr's Farjo and have done so for nearly two decades.I have seen and learnt a great deal over this time and genuinely believe that at the top end that the work is pretty much the same.This is said from experience both from our own practice and having seen other doctor's work in the flesh at conferences or workshops During the past few years.I have brought patients to the ISHRS meetings and what stood out was the quality of work being portrayed at the live patient viewings.Last year it was a pleasure to see work from the likes of Dr's Cooley,De Vroye,Feriduni,Shapiro etc We actually brought five patients and .I think Bigmac met them.

Nervousnelly

Although i take your points on board,I do not personally agree with them but this is a forum and everyone is entitled to their opinion.If you ever get the chance try to attend one of these meetings you will see work of a superior standard from a great number of clinics.The funny thing is though that you may also see some from a clinic who you may never have come across.One that is not active on the internet.i have seen this in the recent past.The Internet has helped the hair loss sufferer, of that there is no doubt.BUT there are certain clinics who use it more intelligently than others.They are better at marketing their wares but others are slowly and surely catching up.You went to Dr Shapiro, I am quite possibley their biggest fan.Why? Dr Shapiro has given so much to our industry in the past 20 years. They just get on with it..They dont court controversy, do work of a consistently high standard and when you meet them and their staff, they are so nice and helpful.I think that is what we all strive for.Also they have got Janna,enough said.



Sparky,

Although i completely understand your bitterness to the UK because of the way you were treated.I was under the impression that you thought you were a fan of our work .What has made you change your mind.The open meeting i mentioned to you is happening early next year, You can meet a couple of dozen patients and let your thoughts be known after first hand experience.

Mywhtc,

I am very perplexed by your comments

" This is a procedure that you will have to live with for the rest of your life. Research is the key. If you do enough research I'm sure you will find a doctor with years of experience that can do a great procedure for you. Most doctors have free consultations meaning you can go into the office to speak with the doctor and ask any questions you want for free. There are some great clinics and doctors in Belgium and the US. I also heard that Shapiro is a good doctor in the US. In belgium I HEARD it is Dr. Mwamba, Dr. Bisanga, and Dr. Devroye. You can also go to the doctor's profile on the bottom of the first page and look at the doctor's results from the procedures they have performed. Good luck with your search"

Yet a bit later you are blatantly promoting what is certainly not independent research "Hi Andiej,

I see that you are having loss in your frontal hairline and temple areas. I would suggest you do alot of research and get an experiecned doctor that specilaizes in hairlines. Dr. Mwamba is one of the best doctors and is very experienced in hairlines. He will review your photo and recommend a graft number for you."

Therefore you either are the clinic linked to your post or actually work for them.There is of course nothing wrong with that as long as you show this clearly.I believe it is called Shilling in the States but it is hiding things from the reader on here.

Richfrog,

What sort of hair loss do you have.if it is minor then i have to admit that we are very conservative or responsible as i would like to call it , with what we will do.Not to disgress from this point but there are some people having surgery and perhaps have not come to grasp the longer term consequences of this.Only this week i have met a patient who had surgery a decade ago, who really wishes he had not bothered.How many others will feel this way in the future?

Bullinut,

Now here is a guy who went through the mill and came out the other end with a smile on his face.Why, because a top clinic was able to give him his life back.I think Brian was referring to his experience with us rather than saying one is better than the other.I know he contacted clinic's from all over the world but they were just not the "good ones".One example he told me of, was where he inquired and every day for a fortnight he was being badgered in to arranging a visit.Brian will be coming to Boston in October and i am sure he will get round to updating his pictures etc


Andejie,

It is tough knowing which way to go with hair.We always advise patients of the importance of maintaining what they have and how actual hair styling and colour etc can help.Surgery can help but being realistic with aims is very important.Fixing the problem today is no good if there are going to be major consequences to deal with in the future.E mail your pictures to various clinics, have a consultation with the actual doctor and always ask to meet some patients in the flesh(who had similar loss to you).At least this way you will have a fighting chance of getting it right.

On a separate point, we are shortly updating our website.it will contain as many as 40 patient videos and in excess of 100 patient examples.Many of them are happy to show their work in the flesh and will be attending our Clinic refurbishment opening next year.I will be putting work on here therefore everyone can see what we are capable of producing on a consistent basis.

fair enough Mick i want to reiterate though... i was not criticising the Farjos.............

It was simply how Brian worded the sentence... that you guys stood out by a mile over everyone else.

This puzzled me,.but after reflection i realise its because he had a great experience with you guys and was a happy bunny thats all!!!

welcome to the forum.

warm wishes bn;)

Hello Mick,

On a non combative point, do you still charge for consultations, for my two cents worth, I wonder if in an industry with varying reputations, guys new to HT might be dissuaded from those who charge.

Also, while you are here, has your clinic any plans to bring in a FUE specialist to accompany Dr Farjo, it would be a formidable UK presence.

Oberon,

We do charge but i personally think that this is fine.Try to go and see any top medical doctor privately in any field and you will get a shock at what they charge.All our consultations are seen by one of our doctors, this is certainly not the case across the whole of our field.

With reference to FUE this is something that we are now addressing and we will be offering this more widely in the very near future.

A very interesting read....

Having had my original HT in the UK by a clinic in London and the dreadful results that made my life a misery for some years.. then having a repair in the USA that has given me back so much (I will not go into the details as many already know...and its a story that started over 15 years ago!!) I would be one of the first to jump in shout that anyone considering an HT in the UK was mad... maybe things are changing.... and its good to see a UK clinic standing up and wanting to prove that things here are....

Mick, I do look forward to seeing some of your clinics work... and hope that this is the start of a new era where the UK can be considered seriously for HT's....

Like they say... the proof of the pudding etc.....

I am a fan Mick, but you told me the open day was in Sept and you would contact me then, as this came and went it left me with the impression that you contacted me with the sole reason to convince a repair patient that good work was still being done in the UK.

My Mum asks me every now and again if the chap from Manchester has contacted me again to tell me about the open day and i've always had to say no, I thought the open day had been and gone.

Sparky,

Unfortunately the open day has been put back simply because of our present workload.I will though as promised let you know when this will be,though it is likely to be in the Spring.
I know that you realise that i am an ok person and i was genuinely interested to see how you went on.We both know that there is world wide and not just here some pretty shoddy work still being carried out.The real pity is that even today patients are still falling for the same sales patter and not paying due diligence to the research process.
