How we select the hair restoration physicians recommended on this site.
It's tough deciding which hair restoration physician to choose to restore your hair. They all claim to provide natural and safe results. But in reality the skill, talent, and experience of hair restoration transplant physicians vary widely, as do the end results.
This online community was begun by a hair transplant patient (view Pat’s hair restoration story) to help other hair loss sufferers share information and find physicians who provide safe and natural hair transplant results. Hundreds of other hair restoration patients have contributed their experiences and advice over the past several years to determine which hair transplant physicians are recommended on this site.
In addition, Pat the publisher of this community, regularly visits leading Hair Transplant Clinics around the world to observe the quality of their surgical hair restoration and meeting with their hair transplant patients. You can view highlights from many of these visits on our discussion forum at Visits to Leading Hair Transplant Clinics.
