Hair Loss Forum Comments and Dr Reviews on Hair Loss

I am not a doctor nor do I perform hair transplant surgeries. I am an ordinary bloke from Australia, somewhat affected by hair loss, and like so many others out (I would think) trying to wade through the many comments and stories about medical professionals & hair loss treatments, written on various forum sites by self proclaimed experts. What is my conclusion from what I have read and seen so far on the internet? - be careful what you read and believe out there!

Some of the comments on some of these hair loss related forum sites often appear to be written by the same individuals or people with a vested interest in rubbishing certain doctors or clinics. As well as this, how certain can you be that the story or comment you are reading is from an actual patient discussing there own experience?

I refer to a particular comment from an unnamed forum stating "there are no good hair surgeons in Australia" you must be joking. Who is this person or persons to say, that out of a population of 23 million plus people in Australia that there are no good hair doctors here? This kind of comment is better suited at a mates BBQ on a Sunday afternoon over a few beers and not on an internet forum discussion forum designed to specifically assist other people in similar circumstances looking for guidance and direction with hair loss.

At the end of the day, I think you need to put these comments into perspective and maybe with a grain of salt too. When It comes to something as serious as a hair transplant, which is very much a medical procedure, weigh these comments from these forum sites up against actual, credible information which no doubt anyone serious enough about having a hair transplant would do.

Some of the comments are absolutely over the top and hard to take seriously. I realize there is always good and not so good out there that's not the issue. The issue is the emotive words being added and again who can tell if they are real comments from real people. I suspect some of these comments are potentially from competitors trying to rubbish other professionals to help make themselves look better. We call this "The Tall Poppy Syndrome' in Australia.

In closing I just want to say I am sure there are some forum sites out there that do have credible comments from actual patients telling their real life story (good or bad) unfortunately, in my case anyway, I'm just not sure what site is credible and which ones are not. This is especially disappointing as I would think the idea behind these sites is to help people affected by hair loss.
