Miniaturization test?

[Marchap]

I've heard that there are many doctors that do not map the scalp for miniaturization. From what I can tell it is a relatively easy procedure but is not often done or even made available to prospective patients, and is basic to using medications like Propecia, in determining the health of the donor area, and in developing a long term Master Plan for the patient. If the Dr does not use a high-powered magnifying video device to examine the patients hair I'm told that they will miss things like diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) on many patients who have it. As I understand it, if surgery is performed on a patient with DUPA, there is high probability it will harm them.

So, when attempting to find a good HT Doctor, should one that doesn’t do a complete examination of the scalp (including a miniaturization test before they go forward with hair transplantation surgery) be a strong factor in determining whether to use them?
