Here are some photos taken at the Shapiro medical group April 10, 2006. I had ~2200 grafts transplanted from a strip into my front third to get the hairline back I had lost 10 years ago at age 25. Dr. Ron Shapiro performed the surgery and I could not be happier with the experience. From the moment I stepped into the office the morning of surgery to the time I left; I felt completely comfortable and confident in their care. It's hard to express in words my respect, appreciation and admiration for the SMG and Dr. Ron Shapiro in any way that hasn't already been expressed by his patients. Everything I had read about him and his group is spot on – integrity, professionalism, a doctor who will not be satisfied unless you are, and one who absolutely loves what he does day in and day out. When you add all that up, you know you're dealing with one of the best. I know I'm only 14 days post op as I write this, but I do know I'm elated I did it, and have all the confidence in the world that things will turn out just great. If anyone has any questions about my surgery with Dr. Ron Shapiro I'd be more than happy to answer them. Thanks a million SMG!!!

Hi Snapshot,

Congratulations, on your procedure, I'm sure things will turn out great...

I was wondering if you have any pics of your donour area?

Thanks mate.

Looks very good. Thanks for relaying your experience as it supports everything I've heard (and supports why I booked there)!

That is going to look great!!! When I was doing my research about docs on this site, one major concern for me was immediate post op, as a hat isnt a choice for me. one thing ive liked about shapiro is his post ops are as good as it gets, congrats I will look forward to following your posts.

I completely agree with you as my situation is very similar. I'm scheduled for next week so I will keep you posted on my progress as well!

Congrats Slapshot!!!! I know this process has been difficult, but I think you made the right choice!!!!!!! I will be great seeing your results in the coming months!!!!

Slapshot,

Congratulations on joining the real "hair club". Your work looks clean and refined and once your new hairline grows in you should have a whole new look.

Thanks also for providing a detailed break down of your donor strip size and the number of hairs in your grafts. Such detailed information really enables people to put your surgical session into the proper perspective. I hope others follow your example.

We all look forward to seeing your updates as things progress. Feel free to create your own free weblog to document your progress.

Best wishes for a bumper crop.
