Will Be There A Doctor Present Who Will Actively Participate In My Procedure?
So, it’s crucial that you ask directly if there will be a doctor actively participating in your operation and if so, what exact role will they play.
But also realize that hair transplantation is a team effort. But what role DOES the team play? Some physicians work with contractors, that is not bad but you have to ask yourself: Do they have “skin” in the game? Now if the physician is present full time and supervises every step of the technicians work then you should feel comfortable with that scenario! As a human being, a participating doctor cannot perform more than two procedures a day, as this is physically not possible. Asking the number of patients, they operate on a daily basis would also give you an understanding on what you’re dealing with. This will confirm whether you have his undivided attention or not!
Lastly, shop around. In the valley there are 2-3 doctors that do ONLY hair transplant. Ask your questions and when you feel comfortable with the doctor your gut will tell you when you found the right one! A physician that stays with you from the beginning to the end is the one that should get the highest consideration. That means he/she cares about the procedure, the patient and the result!
Consultations should be free for both men and women!
