First and foremost, I'd generally like to remain anonymous for surgical procedures that I've done, not everyone likes to tell the world about your personal deficiencies. Which i am making an exception to share my experience as it might help others decide and know what they might encounter.
In my decade long journey to seek the help that I need to restore my hair, I chose to see Dr Cory Torgerson's clinic. I was already knowledgeable through extensive research on what i require prior to the visit, i did not need some mere advice to sell me or market themselves. I have already been a user of Minoxidil 5% plus DHT blocker pills, yet the extent of my hair lose requires surgery. I have performed FUE 2000+ Grafts & PRP in June of 2017 at Dr Cory Torgerson's clinic.
Through my experience here, i personally did not care for how "nice" the clinic presents, which in this case the office is bright, clean, and modern. All i cared about was results and the price to pay.
I was first approached by Brian at their office, and to my surprise, the day I met him he had undergone FUE himself 4 days prior, so I saw first hand what to expect, physically. Brian explained clearly on the process and the options available. Later I've met with Dr Cory and we had a brief discussion on hairline and the procedure to be done.
For all the reviews out there, I can't guarantee which are authentic or fabricated. But I am definitely one that has gone through the FUE & PRP surgeries with this clinic.
From my experience with them, I'd say the following:
The Doctor, the nurses, and the team were all very punctual (It was a Friday), I also arrived 1 hour early myself before my scheduled appointment at 7:45am.
Not once did they not respond to questions that I had.
Are you going to see Doctor Cory every minute during your stay at the clinic?
No, but he does indeed check up on you every process that requires his expertise and attention, and to resolve any problems which may have occurred, which in my situation - no unexpected surprises event came up.
They indeed (especially Brian) made follow ups, via phone calls & emails. Provided pre-op and post-op guidance, which I found useful and necessary.
His nurses and team are genuine. Especially Steph. She never once left my side for the FUE and PRP. She went above and beyond to care, and has the expertise to resolve any problems you might have regarding hair transplants. I will demand for her assistance again should i require more hair related surgeries, no matter which clinic she works for.
I had 2 teams of nurses (male & female) for my long surgery session (12hr-14hr), which both were extremely friendly, but more importantly paid close attention to my care. I cannot thank you enough to make this experience the best outcome possible, instead of the nightmare stories you read online.
To the end of my procedure, I was required to have someone to take me home, and they refused to let me leave me on my own for my safety, even though I felt perfectly fine. My pickup was late for an hour, the team stayed till the very end until they saw my pickup in person before releasing me.
They have very courtesy receptionists, which to noones surprise all look fabulous, but hey, lets be honest, we are not there purposely to see them, but who's complaining on the nice touch. read more
