Are there HT Doctors in the US that stand by their work

[Mr. 4000]

I know that in most cases everyone hopes for the best outcome for their patient, but are there any docs that 100% stand by their work? I see that H&W have a blurb on their site:

Best of all, our results are guaranteed!

THis way the patient goes in knowing that they are protected in some case even if it means getting a refund of some sort, if the doctor can't produce.

[Mr. 4000]

I didn't think so. SHow all these doctors are frauds. Can't stand behind their work.

Where are all the reps and docs spreading their propaganda now?

Come on stand behind your work docs.

In my opinion, there should be a money back guarantee. The problem with this industry is results are subjective. It is hard to prove what a 'good' hair transplant actually is. The industry appears to lack adequate regulation.

I disagree with this point, it is easy to tell what a good HT isn't. So how can it be so hard to deduct?

Saying the the “results are guaranteed” doesn’t really mean much. If the surgery goes wrong, how can and doctor guarantee that you won’t look worse? All they can guarantee is that you'll either get your money back or some free repair surgery. I think most doctors will do that anyway without offering a “guarantee”.

not true, my doctor was defensive and rude. He couldn't possibly been at fault for the awful result. It was my fault, I screwed up the surgery, right doc?

Hair transplants aren't an answer to hair loss.

[Mr. 4000]

Hair transplants aren't an answer to hair loss.

couldn't agree more, just one decision too late.

where are all the docs n this board? they don't want to join the discussion?

come on docs, we are all waiting for your input?

[t-bone]

We are lucky to have sites like this to keep th DR.s honest!
This industry needs to be accountable!

[DepressedByHairLoss]

I don't think they can guarantee results because hair transplants are such a shit procedure. So many things can go wrong, everything from permanent scarring, inability to generate any new hair, shock loss, transplanted hair falling out, and cobblestone marks. We really NEED some better options to treat hair loss!

[Mr. 4000]

I notice that docs haven't been posting as much lately.

Why? because they can't even stand behind their words let alone their work

and it can do is lead to lawsuits

isn't that right docs?

[DepressedByHairLoss]

Man, I really wish a doctor would come along and say: "Here's how we're gonna fix hair loss, and it's not gonna involve hair transplants".

This is an unreasonable expectation. There are too many things that are outside of a doctor’s control. They are not making wigets. They are helping you treat and/or cover up an inherited physical trait that bothers you. They do the best they can with what your body gives them. Patient compliance plays a major role as well. Treating and/or covering up hair loss is neither a quick process nor an easy process.

no it isn't, if they are honest

because if they can't do the job, all they need to do is say so....
doctors just need to be honest from the start, show their bad results not just the good results

give realistic expectations based on what they have been able to do on like minded characteristics of their past work.

It really isn't that hard. Don't waste the patients time and money.

All doctors and clinics should stand behind their work and not hide the fact like it's a state secret. When we say "results guaranteed" we are not guaranteeing that one will be completely satisfied. To say this outright would be wrong as it is impossible to predict if/when a patient will be happy.

As a consultant it is my job to utilize my experience and know-how to get into the patient's head (so to speak) as much as possible and try to determine whether or not we can deliver what he wants before he has his procedure. Great growth does not always equate to great results in the eyes of the patient as "great" is relative. If the patient is for some reason expecting a density or coverage that cannot be had with a given number of grafts, no matter how well it grows, then he won't be happy and somewhere along the line something in the process fell apart as the patient either failed to be properly educated or he failed to absorb the information properly. There are always two sides to a great result or a failed result and both are subject to interpretation.
