I can't review the procedure or the doctors as I didn't move forward, However, this was because I found the initial consultation a shambles. I had a guy called Matt who came across as rather unprofessional and a bit of a "wise guy". He didn't want to listen to anything I had to say and was quite ignorant on lots of aspects of the wider industry (I'd done lots of research!). He spent ages trying to sell me a strip transplant and how it was so much better than FUE before I was finally able to get a word in and let him know that he must have his clients confused because I had made it clear in my submitted documents that (re a transplant) I was only interested in FUE (as I keep my back and sides shaved short and don't want the big strip scar). Suddenly strip was not so good and FUE was great.
He was completely baffled by scalp micro-pigmentation even though it is a service that Shapiro Medical Group offer. Clearly didn't know anything about it and, for example, insisted it was especially no good because you have to shave your head every day with it. (This is wrong in so many ways, but most certainly for those using it to fill thinning hair. No shaving required at all let alone every day!).
Also he seemed unable to offer any advice on sunshine on an FUE transplant. Research seems to agree that keeping the transplanted hair out of direct sunlight for a month is best but he did not know this and even seemed unable to grasp the difference between recently-transplanted hair and one's regular hair. It was odd to say the least.
All in all it was a strange conversation which went down so many rabbit holes. I lost complete faith in SMG to do anything for me.
