If there is a group of you, you could go to the media - somewhere like the Yorkshire Post might be interested in your experiences.
Good idea. Something has to happen. There are so many of us now, it can't be ignored. We need to get together and start something.

The garbage they offer as excuses for poor yields is not only beyond insulting, it's actually comical. And they have the nerve to slag off other clinics and surgeons. I paid £12'000.00 for nothing; literally, maybe a hundred hairs out of circa 3500 grafts, my donor area completely decimated.... and the so sweet and genuine Sommiya, sat there, going through a tick list of pre-written excuses: from greasy scalps, dandruff and the dreaded 'scar tissue', to SMP and 'managing expectations'.

I do find it funny that, those once protecting this diabolical clinic, have suddenly fallen silent on here.

I could be considered one of those people. They had a batch of bad results and at the same time some good ones. Those who are happy with their results have mostly moved on with their lives I suspect. Those who aren't are understandably aggrieved.
You and I have reported completely different experiences. I don't know what I could hope to achieve other than restating 'that didn't happen to me', and that'll be no use to you.
So I'm quiet to not get in the way of you getting what you want out this this thread, no other reason. If you find that 'funny', then so be it.

I had a decent result with Arshad too (surgery in August 2019), other than a bit of over harvesting. I supported him on here until it became apparent that most of their other results were very poor. I don’t think he could be defended based on results on this website and the way some patients are treated.

The results were poor after their main tech, Helen left. She was highly experienced.

There does appear to be a correlation though my surgery was Feb 2022.

To clarify. I'm referring to the likes of Adam, from the clinic and those posters do absolutely everything possible to falsely offer hope of a good outcome (the maybe it's this, maybe it's that crew), disenfranchise and criticise those who have suffered at the hands of Arshad and his team. Posters basically insinuating that it's the patient's fault; creating an environment for Arshad not to be put under the microscope.

There are way too many of us now for these terrible and life-changing outcome to be anomalies. Trivialising this issue is not helpful. I don't consider my experience as being part of a 'bad batch'; like we're somehow cannon fodder or lab rats for Arshad, whereby you were one of the lucky ones. I'm permanently physically scarred and psychological scarred because of their negligence.

We want answers from the clinic; all of us should receive financial compensation. Where is the conscience of these people. After very careful consideration, you don't just walk into a car showroom, look at the shiny new cars, test drive one, buy it, get it home, and in a months time the car is in bits on your driveway, unrepairable....you don't just say, oh well, bad batch, and forget about it. You are entitled to at least a full refund, and everyone one of us would expect exactly that.

Thanks to member @D18 i have had a repair and 2nd HT at another clinic with already a vastly improved outcome at 3.5 months. This to me proves that I was gaslighted by Arshad and treated despicably by Adam, when i showed concerns about my outcome.

Has anyone worked out how we save other people from the physical and emotional harm this clinic is doing?

It’s a shame so many are disappointed with their results.
I have mixed views on mine.
It is definitely better than before, but given the number of grafts used, I am sure (based on 100’s of other results) that I could have achieved better density elsewhere.
At least 3 friends of mine have been to Turkey- all of whom had far more expensive hair loss than me, all had less grafts and all got a better result.

Whilst I appreciate every result is individual, it does seem there are a large number of us with results we aren’t overly enamoured with. I don’t believe it’s down to all of us having unrealistic expectations.

Yep as expected. Yours looks exactly like mine does. Me, you and multiple others have been scammed by these lot.. no idea how they sleep at night profiting thousands of pounds a day while time and time again delivering results that has nothing to show for. They should be in jail

Not a whole lot we can do. I could only post a review on google and trustpilot in begging others to not go anywhere near here but some wont see these reviews and end up doing the same mistake as us unfortunately

I think that as there are a lot of you that have shared the same experience you could all get together and have quite a strong case of negligence against them - you may find a no win no fee solicitor practice might take it up for you.
The stress and mental health issues that patients could suffer must be taken into consideration which to me is a highly damaging aspect of their behaviour as its a finite resource that they are playing with and there cannot be any excuse for repeatedly and continually getting it so wrong. I would strongly recommend you all getting together (and try and find out if there are more of you) and take legal advice.
Wishing you all well

I’ve made a facebook group here where everyone can join the group. Its called ‘The Hair Dr Experience’ on Facebook you cant miss it. This is so we can all come together. If anyone here wants to join and share their story or how they have been treated there, that’s fine. I will also be uploading my own pictures of their mediocre work carried out.
