"Do I wish I had the transplant many years ago? Yes"

I had my transplant procedure at the Maitland Clinic seven months ago. I delayed giving my review until this stage so I could report not only about the day of the transplant but also the outcome.

I was affected by male pattern baldness from the age of 34. I tried many processes to combat the onset and eventfully settled into wearing a professionally applied piece for several years. Although the piece was a good blend there were many negative points, the main one is what to do when you no longer want to wear it. I decided that the transplant route would probably give a good alternative.

Having had the transplant procedure done by Dr Ball he advised me to be patient as the growth of the transplanted follicles could take up to twelve months. I had two areas transplanted, the front of my hairline and the crown. The front showed the quicker growth and after seven months this has been very successful with a very good coverage getting thicker and longer all the time. The growth on the crown has not been as fast but I do have a new layer of coverage and close inspection shows a very significant number of hairs growing and showing through. I don’t doubt that these will continue to grow and the area will thicken over the next five months or so. So the answer to question for me “will it work?” is resoundingly “yes” and to date I am a happy person. Do I wish I had the transplant many years ago instead of the piece – “yes”.

Just winding back to the initial consultation and the day of the procedure. I had consultations with three other hair transplant clinics and chose Maitland as they professionally explained everything thoroughly, answered all my questions with care and were not at all pushy. On the day of the procedure Dr Ball and the team were overwhelming expert at what they do and pretty painlessly so. The room was modern and airy. There was plenty of TV, movies etc to keep me entertained and refreshments and snacks to actually turn the day into a very comfortable experience. The aftercare information was top class and any questions arising were dealt with quickly.

I definitely recommend Dr Ball, David and Janna and the whole team at the Maitland Clinic. Thank you to them.

"Driven to ensure that the result is the best it could be"

My hairline has been slowly receding since I was 19 and as I am approaching 40, I felt that it was time to go and see someone about it.
After doing extensive research and trying to find a good Doctor/clinic to possibly carry out a procedure ,Dr Ball at the Maitland Clinic kept coming up time and time again with praise for his aprroach to his patients and the results that he has achieved.
On the day of my consultation,I first met David Anderson who was fantastic as he put me at ease straightaway. David has a wealth of knowledge in regards to hair loss treatments and gave me some great advice.
Dr Ball came into the room about halfway through the consultation,he examined my hair with a very exciting camera device to see if my donor hair was suitable(which it was) and the same time giving me a running commentary of what he was seeing which I found very helpful.
After a discussion about what I was looking to have done,he then drew a hairline on my head which I was really pleased with.
Dr Ball came across as very friendly and most importantly very driven to ensure that the result is the best that it could be, he is obviously obsessed about what he does which is exactly what I was looking for.

"Beyond my expectations"

I can’t tell you how nervous I was on the morning I turned up at the clinic, however, as soon as I met Edward I knew I was going to be taken well care of.
Some people just have a gift of making you feel at ease, which I believe you can sense immediately, Edward has this gift in abundance. It’s a hard thing to actually put into words, it’s just that Edwards sincerity, confidence and capabilities come across immediately and that what puts everybody at ease. As did your own sincerity come across to me when I first met you, had I of not felt confident with you in our first meeting, I wouldn’t have gone with the Maitland Clinic. The whole team were genuinely very nice people and totally professional, I am so pleased I met you and choose to go with The Maitland Clinic.

It’s day three now and it’s feeling and looking better every day, can’t stop looking at it, I never believed I could get so excited watching little black dots.
Forehead is quite swollen today, just as it was explained to me it would be, however, things are starting to get back to normal now relating to some of the discomforts I’ve been experiencing after the procedure. Once again, I can’t thank you all enough for making me feel so comfortable and special on the day.
