How to Find the Right Hair Restoration Doctor's for You

Hair restoration is a delicate medical procedure and it is very personal as it will affect the way you look and feel. That is why it is important for you to find the right kind of doctor to attend to of your hair renewal needs not just professionally but also in ways more personal and with genuine care. There are a number of things you have to know when choosing hair restoration doctors best suited for you. Here are some guidelines:

Credentials of the doctor

• Get information on when and where the doctor obtained his/her M.D (allopathic) or D.O. (osteopathic) medical degree.

• Look for additional training on any medical or surgical specialty after finishing his/her residency.

• He/She should be a certified medical practitioner who has successfully taken and passed a medical or surgical specialty board examination.

• Membership in related professional societies is also an indication of the physician's commitment for the advancement of his/her profession.

The hair restoration doctor's experience

• How long has he/she been performing surgical hair renewal procedures?

• Know the doctor's professional record. Since when did he/she start doing medical hair renewal procedures? And how many has he/she been treating in a month? A busier schedule can be an indication that the doctor is good and many are recommending his/her services.

• Does he/she practice any other types of cosmetic surgery aside from hairprocedures? This is important because your hair problem could be a part of an over-all problem that may need some dermatological procedures as well.

• Request for some before and after photos of the doctor's past patients to see whether you feel satisfied with the quality of his/her work.

Manner of the doctor's practice

• Find out if the doctor will do the procedure all by him/herself, or will he/she be assisted by other medical practitioners? You may not be comfortable with others present while doing the procedure.

• Look around and see if the office and the medical room are clean and organized.

• Is the office staff helpful? They should attend to your peripheral concerns and questions regarding billing, insurance, etc.
