I had a procedure of approx 2200 grafts a year ago with (MHR). Went back in for my one year followup. Doc said the growth looks pretty good except for a few spots where a few grafts may not have taken here and there. Anyway I just haven't been pleased with it.. not sure if its my expectation or whether things just didnt go right. I had basically no hair at all in the frontal/hairline region and about 3/4 of the grafts were placed there..but still I don't like the coverage

Anyway the fact i've heard so much bad about MHR etc. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good local surgeons from the procedure, that does not belong to a huge corporation. Thanks

I'm not aware of any good surgeons in Oregon or Washington. Don't let location be a factor. The majority of people who opt for a transplant have to travel to go to a good doctor. Do your homework, find a few top notch surgeons whose work you like, consult with them, and then make your choice from there.

Yes..I understand. But I don't have much the financial resources to just pick up from work, leave for a week, travel costs etc. Just not feasible for me.

Brav,

If you're in the Portland Oregon area I suggest you do a consult with Dr. Gables in Portland. From what I've seen lately he is doing some very refined work.

Do you mean Dr.Gabel or Gables? Curious because my mother worked for a Dr. Gabel (hair restoration). Though he refuses to perform procedure on anyone under the age of 26 ( and I'm under 26). As for a Gables..I have not heard of him at all.

Is that him?

Curious cause I remember my mother telling him about me and he offered to do procedures on me for just the cost of the anesthisea and other costs (no charge for the grafts involved ). Though again not sure he'd touch me being only 21yo
