Finding Your Doctor
In general, the best way to find a physician is through a referral either from your dermatologist, general practitioner, or another patient. Perhaps the worst way to choose a doctor is through infomercials or aggressive marketing campaigns. You should be wary of any medical practice that is spending lots of money on marketing, rather than on patient care. Once you have found a doctor that you are interested in, further research on the net will be helpful.
The Doctor’s Background and Training
In choosing a hair transplant surgeon, the first thing you need to know is the doctor’s specialty. Ideally, he or she is board certified as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. If they do not specialize in one of these two fields ask them why they have chosen to work in hair restoration. If they chose to be trained as an urologist or an internist, ask why they are now interested in hair. The benefit of seeing a dermatologist is that their residency training is in the medical and surgical treatment of diseases of the skin, hair and nails, so they are best capable of making an accurate diagnosis of your hair loss and balancing all the treatment options.
