Who to choose for Hair Grafting
I think that you need to do your homework and ask who in your community does very good quality hairgrafting. The specialist could be a Dermatologist, Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon. Most importantly, are they trained in performing hair graft procedures? I am certainly biased being a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Primary Care Physician
Your primary care physician can begin your hair loss workup with a medical history, physicial examination including scalp exam, and common lab tests such as thyroid levels. Your primary care physician can prescribe propecia or recommend rogaine. If there is no medically reversible cause for your hair loss, hair transplantation can be performed with excellent results for the right candidate.

See a hair specialist.
There are two methods of hair replacement--Hair transplants and hair flaps. Investigate both methods and wait until you are sure you will have enough donor hair to finish the job without looking abnormal.

Doctor for hair loss
