Has anyone heard of this Dr. Had any work done by him? He's local for me I"m just not sure if I should go with him. He does the strip method.
Is it appropriate to ask to see patients?

never heard of him. And yes it definitley is appropriate. Try to see them in person and not just photo's.

Don't sign up for surgery until you have researched the doctor and his approach.

I looked up Dr. Mantse and it doesn't appear that he uses an all-FU approach (I could be wrong though).

Go to the home page here and look for the article "Best hair transplant procedure". Notice the importance of using only Follicular Unit micrografts (NO Minigrafts or larger grafts or 'mixed' grafts) and the importance of using a microscope to dissect the grafts.

Ask Dr. Mantse if that is his exact approach. If not, I recommmend that you look elsewhere.
