Regular Member cybersash1983 Posted August 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2010 I had my hair transplant surgery done last year by Dr. William Yates in Bosley's Chicago office. It's been over a year and the expected and promised results never materialized. Still no hairline. I am looking for a doctor who is actually involved in the process and not having his staff to do all the dirty work. Not happy, my bank account went down by almost 10K and I got a scar on the back of my head only, that's the biggest difference I can notice. I just don't think that he is experienced enough. He put 1,700 holes in my head (at least that's what he said) and I don't understand where these 1,700 grafts were placed exactly, because the results are just not good. The density is non existent....Your comments and HT doctor recommendations are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted August 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2010 Cybercrash1983, I'm sorry to hear you were unsatisfied with the results from your previous procedure. I recommend taking a look at our excellent, recommended hair transplant surgeons. If you would like to stay local (which I assume is Chicago), you can also review the Chicago hair transplant surgeons a bit more thoroughly. Please, feel free to ask any additional questions and keep researching!

Regular Member cybersash1983 Posted August 22, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2010 Thanks, I am not just limited to Chicago land area. How about New York or DC? Is Dr. Feller the best out of all New York doctors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted August 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2010 Dr. Feller is a member of the elite Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians and a highly respected contributor on our community. Additionally, we recommend other, excellent hair transplant surgeons in New York and numerous other locations around the globe. If you begin to zero in on a particular geographic area or recommended physician, don't hesitate to ask as many questions as necessary (on this discussion topic or by private message). Good luck!

Regular Member jonathanb Posted August 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi- I have been researching for over a year and have just about decided (after much consideration) on going with Dr. Konior of Chicago. His hairlines are so natural and like you desire I was happy to hear that he does the full procedure himself. I have only done an online consult but he is local for you. I am planning for spring 2011 and hope to have an in-person consultation by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted August 23, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2010 cybersash, Sorry about your poor results with Bosley. Unfortunately, Bosley has established a tremendously bad reputation due to doing poor work on a consistent basis. I know how you feel. I didn't go to Bosley for my first procedure but it still didn't turn out well. If I were you, I'd research the hell out of this site. Browse ever doctor's patient's webblogs, postings, etc. Jonathanb is right, Dr. Konior is in Chicago and he is one of the best surgeons in the state. I went up to Minnesota to Shapiro Medical Group and Dr. Paul performed my 2nd transplant and set me back on the right path. My point is that you should do some serious research and consult with a handful of surgeons and choose with whomever you feel most comfortable with. Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
