Janna & Dr Edward Ball set up The Maitland Clinic in UK

Hi All,
I'd like to share my exciting news of moving to the UK to work with Dr.Edward Ball to set up The Maitland Clinic. ;)

When Dr. Edward Ball initially asked if I was up for a new challenge, I wasn't exactly sure. After all, I've been part of a clinic most consider to be a top renowned HT clinic for many years. In fact, I've been told many times that my name is synonymous with Shapiro medical (I guess working for a clinic for 20 years will do that). Dr. Ron Shapiro has been a great boss and I always thought if I were to work in UK it would be to set up a branch of Shapiro Medical. After some preliminary research as to this possibility years ago, SMG and I decided against it due to many challenging obstacles working abroad. I have SMG €™s full support in this new endeavour. I will continue to work for Shapiro Medical on a much smaller capacity as my main focus and energy will be on The Maitland Clinic.

Even though the decision was difficult at first to leave my family, friends, and a wonderful job, I knew that partnering with Dr. Ball to set up a top clinic in UK was a rare challenge I couldn't pass up. Dr. Ball is a really likeable person and I'm quite flattered and honoured to work along side him. I know that I €™m fortunate to work with another physician who is genuine and trustworthy with great skills and high standards for producing natural, quality results with happy patients. I've had to make several trips to the UK in the past 6 months and have met some of Dr. Ball's past patients, it confirmed that I made the right decision when I see his patients revere him so highly. It also helps that Dr. Ball and I share the same vision and goals in our approach to establishing a top tier clinic.

Feel free to stop by to say "hi" if you're near London or the Hampshire coast. Or, browse through our new website and let me know what you think.

Ha! I know exactly what you mean:)
Congratulations, Janna. Dr. Ball and you will make a great team. I met Dr. Ball at the Chicago meeting and I too thought he was very likeable. I've always liked his work as well. I'll be sure to stop in next time I'm over as I'd love to see the new digs.

Hi Janna, I'm very happy for you and your new career, however it makes me sad to see you leave Shapiro Medical on a larger scale. When making my decision to go for a repair you and Matt Zupan played a great part in helping me make that leap. Deciding to have a hair transplant is difficult enough, trusting someone to repair the damage done by others is even more difficult. I know I made the right choice, and you and Matt were awesome in dealing with me, before, during and after! I want to post some four years post transplant pictures soon, as many don't after a year or two. Good luck in your new endeavor, but I'm certain you will excel!

Hi Thincity,

Thanks for your kind words. It made me sad to leave SMG too. I was sad and excited at the same time. This is still true but it makes me feel better that I keep in contact with them on a regular basis. No matter where I am I'll always be part of SMG and I'm fortunate to still be part of it even if remotely. Emails to me through SMG will still get answered promptly and I'll be making trips to the office too. In fact, I'll be there shortly popping in and out to work on projects for SMG and The Maitland Clinic.


It'd be great to see your progress pictures. I agree you don't normally get to follow a repair patient after the initial year .
Thanks again and looking forward to seeing your pics.

Best wishes for your new venture Janna.

Although I have never met Dr Ball. Having watched some of his youtube videos, the immediate feeling I got of him was of warmth and as others have suggested a likeable person.

4 awesome repairs with SMG
This is awesome news for the UK hair transplant industry and i'm sure with both of you at the helm this new Maitland Clinic will be a roaring success. It's great to hear that you have SMG's full support too, I'm sure they will miss you immensely but the fact they are supporting you in this new venture speaks volumes as to just how caring and supportive they are as a clinic.
I truly wish you and Dr Ball the very best with your new business and am thrilled and excited for the future of the Maitland Clinic.
Good Luck (although i know you won't need it) Bn
