Review Time
Very impressed with the great professional expertise of Dr Vishal Nayak the Leading Doctor and his team. From Consultation to actually being realistic and clear on my goals and expecations everything went smoothly. I'm on Day 2 of my recovery and procedure is going well so far swelling is slowly down, eating a bit more and donor area in healing. If you want quality care at affordable pricing which is dedicated to patient care then please review HGC. Any negative feedback here is total mis perception. There is a team of Fully trained Technicans that oversee and have seen hundreds of cases with Dr Vishal leading the case as the ultimate decision maker including himself operating in between sessions. If the technicans were ever unsure which was very rare they stop and asked Dr Nayak the ultimate boss of the clinic like anybody would in a Hospital or clinical setting so its very normal not to have a doctor in the clinic all times. Further to this I have had post questions which the team were quickly prompt to respond to cant ask for a better service. Procedure was quick, understood and well planned. Payment is non refundable which they tell you before signing so under Consumer Laws there is no nonsense or mislead from there. Thanks again guys!!
🚨 SCAM WARNING: Birmingham Hair Growth Centre – 8 George Road, Birmingham 🚨
Do NOT trust this clinic. This is a bait-and-switch scam, and I’m speaking from personal experience.
🗓️ Timeline of What Happened to Me
I went in for a consultation on 19th September 2025 at Birmingham Hair Growth Centre. I was met by a man named Muhammad (also known as Salman Sheikh) and his manager Rajesh Patel. They seemed overly eager to take my money and get me booked in fast. I was told the surgery would be performed locally, so I paid a £1000 deposit the next day.
Then I was informed my surgery would actually be done in Kenton, London, at a clinic called My Hair Transplant, on Sunday 21st September at 8AM.
I drove there, arrived early, paid the remaining £800, and was rushed into a freezing cold room. They took a quick blood pressure reading, claimed it was high, and then immediately cancelled the surgery within 5 minutes. They didn’t show me the monitor, wouldn’t let me calm down and retest, and even offered me tablets on the spot — which I refused. I’ve never had blood pressure issues, and the whole thing felt like an excuse to cancel after getting my full payment.
I drove all the way back to Birmingham and had my blood pressure checked three times that day at a local pharmacy — all normal. I sent proof and even continued to monitor my BP for the next three days, sending photos of readings as requested. They ignored everything.
❗ What Happened Next Makes This Worse:
On 24th September 2025, I started researching the clinic and found dozens of reviews claiming this was a scam — just like what happened to me. Angry and disappointed, I went back to their George Road office and demanded a refund.
Muhammad told me to email their "head office" and even gave me suggestions on what to write to improve my chances of getting a refund. I followed his advice and emailed them the same day.
Four days later, I received this reply from someone named Amit Jaiswal:
> “We are unable to provide a refund at this stage. If you obtain medical evidence that you are permanently unable to undergo FUE or related procedures, a partial refund may be available.”
They are now demanding a doctor’s letter saying I’m medically unfit for a hair transplant, otherwise no refund. This is despite the fact that their own clinic claimed I had "high blood pressure" — which I proved was false.
On 1st October 2025, I went back to the George Road office again and asked to speak to the manager. Muhammad called someone who arrived 10 minutes later and said it was his day off. I explained everything again, showed him the emails, and he promised to call me the next day.
He called on 2nd October and repeated the same nonsense: No refund without a doctor’s letter. I told him that’s unacceptable and went straight back to their office — this time, refusing to leave without my money.
They called the police on me.
When the police arrived, I calmly explained the full situation and even showed them online reviews from others who experienced the same scam. The police were sympathetic and advised me to report the business to Trading Standards and Action Fraud UK, which I will absolutely be doing.
⚠️ Final Warning:
This company is not trustworthy. They are:
Misleading customers about surgery locations
Cancelling last-minute with fake medical excuses
Taking full payments before performing any treatment
Refusing refunds without jumping through impossible hoops
And they are doing this to many people, not just me.
If you’re considering using Birmingham Hair Growth Centre or My Hair Transplant in Kenton, don’t. You risk losing your money, your time, and your peace of mind.
✅ Reporting Them (What I’m Doing):
I’ll be reporting this business to:
Trading Standards (via Citizens Advice)
Action Fraud UK
Possibly the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
And the General Medical Council (GMC) if any of their staff claim to be doctors
Hardworking people should not be taken advantage of like this. If you’ve been scammed too, I encourage you to speak up and report them.
Had a great experience with HGC from the consultation to the day of the appointment. DR Neel Patel looked after me and made sure everyone went smoothly. I’m a needle phobic person so they made sure I didn’t get to see any which helped A lot. Everything went smoothly as planned and I’m looking forward to my full head of hair
🚨 SCAM ALERT: Hair Growth Clinic in Birmingham 🚨 Avoid this clinic at all costs. My experience has shown it's a bait-and-switch operation. 🗓️ Timeline of My Experience I visited for a consultation on 19th September 2025. I was greeted by a man named Muhammad and his manager, who seemed overly eager to finalize my payment. I paid a £1000 deposit the following day, believing the surgery would be local. However, I later learned that the surgery was scheduled at a different location in London on 21st September at 8AM. Upon arrival, I paid an additional £800 and was quickly taken to a cold room. They took my blood pressure, claimed it was high, and cancelled the surgery within minutes. They didn't show me the monitor or allow me to retest, even offering me tablets, which I declined. I’ve never had blood pressure issues, and it felt like an excuse to cancel after receiving my full payment. After returning to Birmingham, I checked my blood pressure multiple times, all normal. I provided proof and continued monitoring, yet they ignored all my follow-ups. ❗ What Followed Was Even Worse: On 24th September 2025, I researched the clinic and found numerous reviews indicating it was a scam, similar to my experience. Frustrated, I returned to their office to request a refund. Muhammad instructed me to email their main office and even suggested what to write to improve my chances. I complied and emailed them the same day. Four days later, I received a response from someone named Amit, stating: "We cannot issue a refund at this time. If you obtain medical evidence of being permanently unfit for the procedure, a partial refund may be possible." They demanded a doctor's letter proving I was unfit for a hair transplant, despite their clinic's claim of my "high blood pressure," which I disproved. On 1st October 2025, I went back again to speak to the manager. After explaining everything again, he promised to call me the next day. On 2nd October, he reiterated their refusal: No refund without a doctor's letter. I found this unacceptable and returned to their office, insisting on my refund. They called the police on me. When the police arrived, I calmly explained everything, showing them online reviews from others who faced similar issues. The police were understanding and advised me to report the business to the relevant authorities, which I will definitely do. ⚠️ Final Caution: This company cannot be trusted. They: - Mislead clients about surgery locations
- Cancel appointments with dubious medical excuses
- Collect full payments before any treatment
- Deny refunds while imposing unreasonable conditions They are deceiving many, not just me. If you’re thinking about using this clinic, reconsider. You risk losing money, time, and peace of mind. ✅ Reporting Them (My Actions): I’ll be reporting this business to: - Trading Standards (through Citizens Advice)
- Action Fraud UK
- Possibly the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
- And the General Medical Council (GMC) if any staff claim to be doctors Since September 2025, they have kept my money unless I sign an NDA, and they refuse to refund me.
Now that I am almost a year post-procedure, my experience with the service has been extremely disappointing. The results are still unsatisfactory, and despite expressing my concerns multiple times, I have received little to no meaningful follow-up. I provided feedback directly to the clinic and tried to engage constructively, but the two scheduled follow-up appointments never took place. Subsequent calls yielded no results, and I felt dismissed rather than supported. Aftercare is nonexistent. At this point, I am still waiting for a proper review of my case and a clear plan to address the outcome, which includes random bald patches and very thin, uneven hair. I am sharing this to provide an honest account of my experience. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this service at all. Very poor support.
Due to thinning at the crown, I opted for a transplant, and the entire procedure was thoroughly explained from the outset. I was informed to anticipate results in phases, which was helpful for setting expectations. Although the shedding phase initially made things appear worse, by the fifth month, I noticed a significant improvement in fullness. The clinic was immaculate, and the staff were attentive and supportive. I’m happy with the progress so far.
The staff is highly skilled and approachable. The entire process was smooth, with just a minor discomfort from the numbing at the beginning, but after that, it turned into a positive experience. The communication from the team was outstanding, and the aftercare provided is very supportive. I would strongly recommend this service in every aspect. Excellent team, and I appreciate the transformation achieved so far.
It's been just over six months since my hair transplant at the local center, and I can confidently say it was one of the best choices I've made. The doctor was honest, patient, and knowledgeable from the beginning, clearly explaining the process and setting realistic expectations. On the procedure day, he and the team were calm, friendly, and professional, ensuring my comfort throughout. The clinic was clean and welcoming, and the aftercare instructions were straightforward. They promptly addressed any questions I had, making me feel valued. Now, at the six-month mark, I'm seeing fantastic results—my hairline looks natural, and the density is improving weekly. If you're thinking about a hair transplant, I highly recommend the local center and the doctor. The entire experience has been outstanding.
I underwent a hair transplant at the local branch a year ago, and I’m absolutely delighted with the outcome! The entire experience, from the initial consultation to the follow-up care, was smooth and professional. The doctor and his team were extremely attentive, and the procedure was done with great precision and care. A year later, my hairline appears natural, and the density has significantly improved. I’ve regained my confidence and couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend this doctor and the local branch for anyone considering a hair transplant!
I'm really disappointed with the results. I had an intense hair transplant on the top and crown area with over 4,000 grafts last year, but the outcome has been underwhelming. The doctor only came in to make space for the new grafts, and the technicians handled the rest. Even after a year and a half, the results are poor. I lost a significant amount of transplanted hair post-surgery, despite being told the new hair would be permanent. I've scheduled several follow-up appointments, but they have been rescheduled multiple times. It seems like they aren't interested in seeing old patients after payment. I regret not traveling to another location for more experienced doctors.
