www.whatclinic.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0for example. You should absolutely check for reviews on a clinic you may be considering on as many sites as you can find them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA good clinic will come up in a Google search, or on at least one of the common review sites. If you can\u2019t find any mention of your clinic on the Internet I would think twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bear in mind the reviews on the actual clinic’s website will be hand-picked by the clinic. And if they aren\u2019t backed up by similar claims on other websites then they may not be genuine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may find negative reviews on your clinic too. If a large number of reviews or news articles are negative then start looking at other options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if all your other research into a clinic looks good and it is just 1 or 2 negative reviews then don\u2019t completely write the clinic off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, check the validity of the complaint and even ask the clinic about the complaints. If you don\u2019t feel confident look at other clinics. It\u2019s just worth noting that some people like to complain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This could be about the travel or hotel or wait time, rather than the quality of the procedure or result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. A pushy salesperson!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n A good clinic will be in demand. They will not need to push you to book now or pay a deposit now. They will provide you with good quality detailed information about your circumstances and what options may be appropriate for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They may even suggest trying medications before having surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may be invited to come in for a consultation or to video chat. This is all normal. And if you can be assessed in person then this is a good thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My consultation was done by email with a series of photographs emailed to the clinic. You shouldn\u2019t feel forced to do anything you don\u2019t want to do. And you should be weary of anyone forcing you to commit to an appointment or to hand over any money too early in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first few meetings or emails should be more about discussing your circumstances and what might work for you. And going through what the surgery will consist of and what the healing process looks like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. A lack of communication, clarity, or poor quality documentation!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n A good clinic will have good communication. Their emails and documentation will look professional and of good quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They should be fully transparent about who they are, their reviews, credentials and all the ins and outs of the process. You\u2019ll be able to pick up the phone and dial a landline during office hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will have emails addresses at their domain name i.e. person@clinic.com, not person2000transplants@gmail.com. And you\u2019ll be able to see their premises on Google or in business directories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bear in mind some private clinics will be in shared medical or professional buildings \u2013 so you may not see too much on Google maps street view. You should expect to have to supply photographs of your head from the back top, sides and front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As well as some information about your hair loss and general medical health. You should be invited to meet in person or video call for a more detailed consultation (email and photographs is sufficient if you are more comfortable with this). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should have the option to meet a consultant in person. Bear in mind the consultant will mostly likely not be the doctor who performs your surgery as they will be performing surgery most of the time. But if you really want to speak to them the clinic should oblige. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you aren\u2019t getting the above. And you don\u2019t feel comfortable or confident then you should consider another clinic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. No willingness to meet in person! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t have to meet a consultant or doctor in person to arrange a hair transplant. You can do it all email if you want to \u2013 that is what I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it should be offered to you at some point. And if you ask for it the clinic should oblige in some capacity, either in person or by video call. If you are considering an appointment abroad it may not be possible to travel to the clinic in advance of the surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing this a lot of clinics abroad offer consultation with a UK based sales consultant, or offer video calls, or can send you video links showing you their facilities or interviews with their surgeons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you aren\u2019t offered any of this or if you are discouraged from meeting then perhaps look at other clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure you feel comfortable and confident in what you are looking to book before confirming anything. There are plenty of good quality clinics in all major cities. So pick one you feel comfortable with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
