Ed from Brighton calls the guys to discuss how hair loss has affected his life and how he’s chosen to take charge of his hair loss by taking Propecia and undergoing hair transplant surgery with IAHRS accepted member Dr. Bijan Feriduni.
Spencer Kobren and Joe Tillman discuss the very real issue of physician pandering, a tactic used by some in the field to win the favor and to appeal to vulnerable and usually young hair loss sufferers who frequent the various online hair loss message forums While the term is most notably associated with politics, there are physicians who are known to spend a great deal of time publicly expressing their views for the sole purpose of leveraging these very visible platforms to draw support and in turn generate more income by expressing views that do not necessarily reflect good scientific research or the responsible practice of medicine.
State of the art hair transplantation has always been a team effort. The use of surgical technicians plays a vital role in the ability to move and implant large numbers of grafts in a single session, but in today’s FUE hair transplant environment more and more clinics are relying on layman to do most if not all of the surgery. While there are some incredibly talented technicians in the field, Spencer Kobren and Joe Tillman discuss this disturbing trend of using unlicensed technicians to perform key aspects of the surgery, which most consumers believe were going to be performed by the licensed physician they hired to do the job.
If you’re considering hair transplant surgery this is a show you don’t want to miss!
"Spencer Kobren's nationally syndicated show "The Bald Truth" has a dedicated listenership that would have Rush Limbaugh pulling his hair out in envy." --Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
