Jotronic Resigns From Hasson & Wong

[Guest]

Hi guys, it's Joe Tillman.
As of July 29th, 2014, and after a LOT of careful consideration and soul searching, I have chosen to leave Hasson & Wong and will no longer act as their representative. From now on I am only a Hasson & Wong patient.
I am now representing Rahal.
There's good news and bad news that comes with that.
The bad news is that, as of this post, the Jotronic name will be officially retired. I wish I didn't have to do that, since I was Jotronic even before I was a patient at H&W, but it is what it is. Unfortunately, I can't answer any questions as to why. The account will be locked with no option to reopen it. I'm honestly genuinely pleased that I can hang my reputation on my name now.
The good news is, I will always be Joe Tillman. A name can be retired, but that doesn't mean I'm ready to retire. I got into this industry to bring men (and women) like me the best information on hair loss solutions that I can. I've always been 100% about the patients, whatever you guys -- us guys -- need. That will never go away, no matter what name I write under.
I started off as just another patient looking to get follicular salvation, and I would like to especially thank my friend Mike Ferko for guiding me. The role that I ended up taking on is one that Mike brought me into. For many years Mike and I worked together to help educate others, and I'd like to think we did a pretty good job.
My friends in Vancouver have given me valuable fellowship over the years. Christina, Doug, and Daria, you're great people and I'll miss you dearly. The other professionals I worked with, the technicians whose names can't be mentioned, you guys are also outstanding and have been great friends over the years.
To Dr. Wong, you will always be the doctor that saved me. Mike might have put me on the road to salvation, but you were where that road lead, and nothing can take that away, no matter where I go. Dr. Hasson, thanks for your mentoring and support.
Finally, to all the patients I've met and helped over the past eleven years, I thank you all. To all the patients I've yet to meet, I hope I can learn as much about your concerns as you can learn about solutions from me.
I wish everyone the best, and I look forward to working with all of you under the "JoeTillman" username from this day forward.
All the best,Joe Tillman (the poster formerly known as Jotronic)

Good luck in your career move, you have provided a great service for Hasson and Wong over the years and I'm sure you will do the same for DR Rahal..

Joe Tillman/Jotronic,

On a personal and business level I will be very sorry to see you leave your results and personal journey were part of my decision to come to have surgery at Hasson & Wong. That decision changed my life for the better and for that I am very grateful. You were instrumental in bringing me on board to the H&W team nearly 5 years ago and have been a great mentor and friend ever since.

I wish you all the best in your new position at the Rahal clinic and I know that you will represent the clinic with the same passion and professional manner that you have done for the last 10 years.

shocking news, but wish you the best bud, in your new job

Hi Joe, Congrats on starting a new direction in your career, and while I was never a H & W patient, you helped me with scalp exercises (your video) and a written response on how to do them. You did this knowing I was having my transplant at SMG, your a class guy and I always enjoy reading your posts! Good luck with your new job!

 

[Sparky]

Good luck Joe.

 

[Iniesta]

Is this really true?

Having criticising the FUE-method fairly much you now will represent a clinic that uses a FUE-robot and stand behind their ethics?

Sorry, I cannot take that seriously.

 

[david78888]

I really like your way of expressing the opinion and sharing the information.keep it up Good luck

All,
Thank you very much for your support. It is very much appreciated. Janna, we'll talk sometime soon
Iniesta,
If one were not paying attention then it is understandable how my position on issues can be misinterpreted. I've worked for a strip only clinic for eleven years so of course it may seem unusual for me to work for a FUE clinic. However, if one were to review my posting history they would find that my views on FUE have evolved to where, on many occasions, I openly acknowledged FUE as a viable alternative and complimented FUE work. My views eventually forced me to make a decision that, again, was one of the most difficult I've ever had to make.
I still think that FUE is not a good choice for some patients and I've always stated that FUT is not a good choice for some patients. This position has not changed. The problem in the past was that I could not offer FUE when the patient was not a candidate for FUT but now I can and excellent quality FUT is still available for the same patient should they so desire.
