Strip Vs. FUE - Don’t Base Your Decision On Price Or Pressure

Spencer Kobren speaks with IAHRS accepted member Michael Vories, M.D. about the disturbing trend of "bait and switch" hair transplant marketing and the difficulties that today’s prospective patients face when choosing the right hair transplant procedure for them.

I remember last year when there was one particular doctor from New York who was on a campaign to deter potential patients from choosing FUE. It's sad really especially since you see strip doctors like H&W begin doing more and more FUE cases.

I don't understand - why would doctors steer people away from the more lucrative surgery? I've heard because FUE is more labor intensive? But is that the only thing driving it? Wouldn't concerns about transplanting hairs from outside the safe zone and concerns about depleting donor be very important and totally legit?
