Can anyone recomend a good doctor in Los Angeles and tell me why they are good?

Thanks,

I also would like to hear from someone on this. I am considering visiting Dr's Straub, Rassman or McClellan, who are endorsed by Pat, for a consultation. Haven't read much on any of these guys, other than Pat's endorsement. I suppose they lend financial support to the site, which is O.K. I would like to hear from another perspective . Thanks.

You may also want to check out and consult with Dr. McAndrews in the LA area. He does all follicular unit work, which appears to be impressive.

I've been reluctant to recommend him since his prices have normally been on the high side. But my understanding is he will offer steep discounts if a patient lets on of his med students observe the procedure.

P.S. Let us all know how your consults went.

According to their web site, NHI in Los Angeles is having an open house this Thursday 4:30-7:00 pm. I will confirm this information Monday and go if possible. Anyone ever been to a NHI function? What's it like? Helpful?

He wants $4800 to do 600 grafts plus a "free" lunch. That's big bucks for someone relatively
unproven?

Dr Worton at NHI and Dr Straub are both $5.00 per graft. However Dr Sraub said that you usually end up getting significantly more grafts than are charged. Apparently he sticks with his original quote for number of grafts, instead of tallying up and charging for the actual number transplanted. Dr Straub has a very nice office. Very personable too.
