    Default Starting to get thin hair- want a recommenced Dr. in Raleigh NC area

    Hi,
    looking to be proactive here, been on Propecia now for 9 months- hair loss still progressing. You can not tell unless my hair is wet but i would like to slowly do transplants over time. Not sure if that is right approach or not. But first step is the best person In Raleigh NC area for an opinion.

    I went to a site that pointed me to http://www.haircenter.com/ in Charlotte but that is a little too far.

    Thank you in advance

    If you do not have noticeable hair loss then a hair transplant is out of the question at this stage. You should see a doctor about starting Propecia if you're sure that you are dealing with male pattern baldness. It’s good that you found this forum, because the last thing you want to do is to start hair transplants too early. I see that Dr. Cooley is on the IAHRS so you know he’s top notch, but if you haven't lost too much hair, he will probably turn you away and suggest you start taking medication.

    Hi- I started Propecia like in january and to be honest if anything it has accelerated hair loss(although I hear it's not possible). It has been fast for me- I had a pretty good head of hair (going thru divorce so it may be stress).

    Dr. Cooley is in Charlotte- any recommendations for Raleigh or is it simply look for IAHRS.

    Basically I want an honest opnion not someone who just wants the money

    That’s why you need to go to an IAHRS surgeon. Most other sites will push you into having a hair transplant, you’ll see here that the general consensus is to wait until you are sure that you are a candidate and that you’ve done several months of research. It’s when people panic that they usually make poor decisions. Have yourself checked out by an IAHRS surgeon but don’t jump into having surgery. With enough research you’ll be able to tell who’s just trying to take your money and who is being honest and has your best interest in mind.
    You should also post some pictures to get some advice from forum members.

    Stick with www.iahrs.org in your search. None of these doctors are part of this organization but there is no harm in having consultations with them to see what they say.

    You definitely have some recession in the hairline but the top of your head looks petty good dry. Are you sure Propecia is not slowing things down?
