Sets an example - he roots his advice in patients' needs

An uncomfortable number of Hair Restoration Surgeons don't see or speak to you until the day of your surgery. Many of them charge fees in the three digits if you want to consult with them. This always felt to me a bit scummy; you'd hope that if you're paying tens of thousands of dollars for a procedure, the least the person who holds all the power can do is be a source of support and information. I understand that professionals in this field are busy, but if you have empathy for your patients, you'll make it work.

Dr. Huber sets an example. How he conducts himself is evidence to me that he actually cares about the wellbeing of his patients. He has a systematic and affordable way for people to discuss their options. He replies thoroughly and within a reasonable time frame to emails. He consistently displays a breadth of knowledge on the current scientific material and explains it all in direct language. And he roots his advice in patients' needs, not just his own pockets. I bloviated about receiving a lot of grafts and he calmly explained to me that, given my situation, I didn't need nearly as many I thought. That is not the advice of a salesman.

If you're in Ontario and you're unsure where to start your hair restoration journey, do yourself a favour and request a consultation with Dr. Huber.
