It is very important to make a wise decision and choose the right doctor or clinic for your hair restoration needs. 

The following guidelines can help:

1. Ask to see actual people who have had hair transplant surgery at the clinic in question, and by the particular surgeon who will operate on you.
2. Full time specialist doctors in this field are more likely to get enough experience to develop their technique. Make sure your surgeon has dedicated the whole, or at least the majority, of his practice to hair loss and hair transplant surgery. We highly recommend you only consider clinics wholly owned by the surgeons. This should make sure that medical advice and decisions are not influenced by sales or businessmen.
3. Make sure your hair surgeon is up to date on the latest technology. Ask your surgeon if he/she regularly attends international meetings and seminars as part of his/her continuing education. At www.ishrs.org it lists the number of ISHRS meetings attended by each member doctor. Continuing Medical Education (CME) is a statement of the doctor's commitment to the field and to the patient's benefit by learning from peers. CME is also a compulsory requirement of all licencing boards and authorities of medicine.
4. Find out if the premises and the doctor are registered, and, if so, their standing with the Healthcare Commission, England's healthcare watchdog. It is illegal to operate or give medical advice by anyone in the UK without proper registration with the Healthcare Commission.
5. Check your doctor's registration status with the General Medical Council (GMC). It is illegal for a doctor to operate or even offer consultations in the UK without being licenced by the GMC.
6. Know what's out there and visit or talk to a few clinics. Many places claim the best and latest treatments but after browsing this website and other information you should be able to ask all the right and detailed questions.
7. Use the internet wisely. Although the internet is unregulated and contains a lot of hype, it can also serve as a valuable resource when reviewing independent web sites.
