    A hair transplant surgeon's website is nothing more then a yellow page ad. Some are just more flashy then others. Go to www.iahrs.org to find the best hair transplant surgeons in New York. There’s also a list of this forum http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1495

            There are no guarantees in hair transplant surgery. For some it’s the best thing they ever did for themselves, but for others it doesn’t work out as well as they hoped. What I love about this forum is that you hear both sides of the coin, which allows people to make educated decisions. This forum it feels like friends helping friends. I think Mr. 4000 is right about not rushing into hair transplant surgery, but I also think that lots of people are happy if it works out for them.

              by my standards, its really bad

              If you are 34 and have no crown and the rest is falling out, and thinning

              The next question is what do you want out of the procedure, what are your expectations?

                ccrispy,

                At 34 you are ceratinly not too young for a HT. The real issue is "Are you a candiate for the procedure," based on your individual profile. This would include the assessment of your available donor, your hairloss to date, and your goals and expectations.

                As long as you fully understand the dynamics of the procedure including the risks, and have done adequate research, the educated patient is then more oriented to setting realistic goals for their lifetime.

                To answer your first question, try contacting Dr. Bob True in lower Manhattan. He is very accomplished in both strip and FUE. Both he and Dr. Bob Dorin do excellent work and have long reputations in this field. If you are close to their Manhattan clinic, you can set-up a time to meet with Dr. True and see more examples of his combined work over your lunch hour.

                Best wishes to you.

                    Does he do surgery there or just consults?

                      He does procedures and consults there. He makes monthly visits to the office in nyc. At least consult with him, but once you meet him you will say this is the doctor I have been looking for.

                        Considering a hair transplant procedure is a big decision. It is important that you meet with one or more qualified surgeons and be confident that you see "eye to eye" and that your expectations can be met. Look for a hair restoration surgeon that is a member of the IAHRS (IAHRS.org) and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS.org).
                        Best wishes in your search.

                          Ii's funny you say that because I have "always" thought the same for Dr. True!
