These reviews are a good few years after my actual procedures , but since that time has past iv had time to reflect and also seen a lot of my friends get much better results in Turkey and for a fraction of the price I got charged , so I want to make people aware of ukhairtransplantclinics and how they operate. My first procedure was a F.U.T for 1800 grafts back in November 2016 on which I was quoted £3900 ,, I found that very expensive at the time and if it were now I’d obviously never pay that , but we’r going back 7 years ago and they definitely weren’t as common as they are now. My procedure was in Nottingham and my surgeon on the day was a doctor Harris Haseeb , who I will say seemed good but the communication between the clinic and himself was dreadful , all he had to go on one was one grainy black and white photo of my hair and no other information at all , so he can only work with what he’s got I suppose. The procedure also seemed rushed and it didn’t look like I had received 1800 grafts. As soon as I was done it almost seemed like they wanted me out of there as soon as possible , which then made sense as upon being ushered out the surgery there was another patient waiting to go in , so that’s obviously why. Then that was me I received a small bag with some antibiotics , sent on my way and got told I’d have a 6 month review “on which on the 6 month mark” I actually had to contact them , as they didn’t get back in touch with me. I followed all the after care treatment , but for what ever reason my treatment wasn’t a success , and I couldn’t help but think I’d just wasted £3900. So after a lot of going back and fourth ukhairtransplantclinics agreed that it hadn’t “fully” worked out , in other words they meant a certain percentage of the grafts had set but a lot hadn’t as well. So the options they gave me were another F.U.T procedure , we’re they’d reopen my scar and give me 1000 grafts for free , or they would give me a F.U.E procedure also for 1800 grafts at a additional cost of £2500.I wasn’t keen on having my scar re-opened so I reluctantly went for option 2 , baring in mind the total cost is now at £6400! So after an initial meeting a few months prior , come January 2019 I went for my second procedure with a Dr Vikas Kunnure , In Manchester. like Dr Harris he seemed ok , but that rushed element seemed present again and it’s as if they were on a timeline to get it done. After the procedure he told me that they managed to actually fit 2200 grafts , instead of the 1800 but I really struggled to see this as there were big spaces he had left and I remember asking him about this and he assured me it would be fine…. my case manager at the time a “Judith bainbridge” assured me that after the 18 month mark the full results would show , well it’s fair to say they never did! It’s also worth noting About a year after my procedure , there was an article in the Sun newspaper about surgeons leaving bad hair transplants within the U.K and Dr Vikas Kunnure was mentioned. Now I’m fully aware you can’t believe everything you read in the paper and especially all be it the Sun , but it certainly didn’t do anything for my confidence seeing this. I’m sure the article will still be online if you search for it. You also soon find out that a lot of these surgeons work on a self employed “agency” basis to such company’s like ukhairtransplantclinics and don’t actually work for them full time! It wasn’t until recently that i’d seen a few of my mates who’d had procedures done in Turkey , that I realise how ripped of I was! I’m not saying my grafts were incorrectly planted , I just know they didn’t put in as much as they charged me for , and For £6400 I’v basically got nothing to show for it and could have gone over to Turkey and got close to 10,000 grafts for that price , and from what iv seen with my own eyes the results are brilliant. Paul and Nigel who you have your consultations with are nice enough guys , but again they’re just “salesmen” please don’t misinterpret these guys for experts , as they really aren’t. All you are to them is a £ sign and they get commission on every patient who books up through them , all they do is tell you what you want to hear instead of being honest. Why iv waited a few years to leave this review I can’t honestly answer , maybe I just stupidly thought the longer I waited that the hair mite eventually come in.I also personally opted against taking “finasteride” due to the possible side affects that come with them. Again they’ll try convince you that it’s only a “small” percentage that suffer from it , but I’d definitely advise anyone to do there own research first before taking it as the side effects can be irreversible once started. If they try to remove my review as well , il keep re-posting it as I paid this company £6400 so I’m more than entitled to my honest review and opinion on them as a company and my experience. God bless Kevin
