FUE hair line transplant recommendations and opinions on Rahal

[Baldy McBaldface]

I'm in my late 20s, and my hair started receding years ago and stopped in the past few years. I'd put myself in Norwood 2-3. I haven't tried finasteride to be honest, I should've used it to stop the recession but it was too late and since my hair has stopped receding I was thinking I could fix it permanently.

I live in the US, and I've been reading in the last few weeks about reputable hair transplant surgeons, and many names came up such as Diep, Konior, and Shapiro in the US. Rahal and H&W in Canada. Feriduni, lorenzo, bisanga in Europe. Erdogan in Turkey.
I looked up the US surgeons and they all seem overpriced with long wait list, so I didn't contact any of them.

I filled out consultation form for the rest and only Erdogan has answered so far saying he would do 2000 grafts. It sounds reasonable but I've been hearing a lot of disappointing results recently and people say to avoid him for hair line procedures.

The optimal choice for me is Rahal since he's the closest and it's only few hours drive. I've been reading about him and his results look phenomenal for hair line procedures. The only thing deterring me is reading about how he's only good in FUT and people don't recommend him for FUE. I would like to have FUE over FUT since I don't want any potential significant scars on my scalp.

So I would like your recommendations about other surgeons for FUE hair line procedures, and what is your opinion of Rahal when it comes to FUE?
