My experience with Dr Gabel was better than I ever could have imagined. Having had two previous procedures, I can say that the difference is night and day. Dr Gabel was generous with his time and consulted with me for an hour on a Sunday morning. During our consultation, Dr Gabel showed extreme care, patience and concern over my current situation and previous procedures. He listened to everything I had to say, answered all of my questions, and helped give me hope with honest, down-to-earth professional advice. There was no pressure to move forward with the procedure and Dr Gabel made it clear that he had my own interests top of mind. After making my decision and locking down a date with Dr Gabel, he insisted we meet a day before the procedure in order to get a better idea of what I wanted and what my expectations were. With my work schedule in mind, the Doctor was kind enough to meet me on a Sunday. I was immediately comfortable with Dr Gabel when we met as he is kind and friendly. I expressed that I was ready to go all in. 4k grafts. Whatever it took to look my best. However, upon close inspection, Dr Gabel let me know what my limitations were due to the scars from my previous surgeries. More hair put me at risk for more scarring. After explaining what my options were, Dr Gabel helped find that fine line where I could get the most hair I needed all while working on reducing the scarring from my previous procedures. All-in-all, that meant less grafts. Which in return meant less money. But that didn't stop Dr Gabel from suggesting the point of view that worked best for me. And I think that's what was so great about my experience. From the start, its was truly about what worked best for me. As far as the actual procedure the next day, I could not be happier. My communication with the Doctor and his team was great. Any time I felt pain or any discomfort, it was addressed. Dr Gabel was very hands on, controlling the room and making sure everything was perfect and precise. It was game time and the energy was so great that the time really flew by. It put me at ease knowing that I was being handled by professionals. And the work itself? I'm only in my first week but I could tell you that I see a really big difference. My last procedure left my scalp looking bloody and abused with large holes and hairs transplanted far apart. What Dr Gabel and his team did looks very dense! Clean and perfect. If not for the stitches, I could shave my head down to a 1 or 2 and you would barley notice I had any work done. My advice to you is, trying to save money on a procedure like this, as I did, will only cost you more in the long run. Go with the best out there. Go with someone honest, hands-on and incredibly gifted. Go with Dr Gabel.
