Hi guys, I will be uploading the pics this evening after I get some sleep. It was a punishing 4 days and due to the flight times I am knackered.
I want to talk about my experience first. I arrived early on 02/05/2013, about 7.15. I was greeted by Sophie who informed Dr Feriduni I was at the clinic and sorted me out with a well needed coffee. I met with Dr Feriduni shortly after and within 30 seconds it was like meeting an old friend - we were cracking jokes and having the craic almost immediately. Without a doubt he is the most enthusiastic, welcoming and down to earth man I have ever met. We talked about the transplant side of things first - hairline placement, number of grafts, zones to be treated etc. I then mentioned the Keratene pills and the possibility of finasteride use post op in addition to my minox and nizoral usage. Again there was not even a hint of him pushing finasteride usage or any other medication. Quite simply there was no salesman hidden agenda and it was quite refreshing.
After the requisite head shave and wash, I was introduced to the nurses who would be extracting the grafts. Again they were completely down to earth and every effort was taken to make sure I was comfortable - even the provision of a banana as I had no breakfast due to the early start! 3 hours later I nipped out to grab a sandwich and some fruit provided and then Dr Feriduni made the incisions. Then to finish the day, the nurses placed the grafts as I watched Ice Age 4
- only one in English at the time.
I was knackered at the end of the day but got a nice surprise when I returned to my room - a distinctive Dublin accent emanating from the adjacent room - I went in and introduced myself and we had a laugh about the chances of meeting a fellow Paddy in Hasselt on the same day in the same place!! We both agreed on the professionalism and kind nature of the staff and agreed that we will be recommending Dr Feriduni to close friends on our return.
Shout out to Cristian who went above and beyond the call of duty to provide us with the local Pizza hut phone number and menu - much appreciated after a hard day.
To surmise - I have absolutely no bias or hidden agenda. From the moment I stepped into the clinic reception area, I was treated like a superstar. Every need was attended to. The staff are warm, friendly, professional and dedicated. And it was a pleasure to be worked on by Dr Feriduni. He has no ego issues, no agenda etc. He is simply passionate about his work and this is very evident. Both myself and my Irish friend agreed that if we needed further work in the future, we would be back in Hasselt in a heartbeat.
