1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.600 Dr. Dorin, absolutely brilliant to catch up with you. 2 00:00:02.601 --> 00:00:04.700 We've been trying to catch up for a while. 3 00:00:05.642 --> 00:00:06.967 I wanted to commend you 4 00:00:06.968 --> 00:00:11.450 because you are, yet again, one of the best surgeons in the world 5 00:00:11.451 --> 00:00:14.175 on the Ape to Gentleman article. 6 00:00:14.176 --> 00:00:16.808 I've included you now for a number of years 7 00:00:16.900 --> 00:00:19.658 based on the fact that you are, without question, 8 00:00:19.708 --> 00:00:21.425 one of the best surgeons in the world. 9 00:00:21.426 --> 00:00:25.250 But not just the hair transplant that you provide your patients, 10 00:00:25.251 --> 00:00:29.975 but the care and the education that you have consistently provided 11 00:00:29.976 --> 00:00:32.192 for as long as I've known you. 12 00:00:32.193 --> 00:00:36.282 I knew of you in the hair loss industry, in the hair transplant industry 13 00:00:36.283 --> 00:00:39.708 for many, many years before we'd even spoken, 14 00:00:39.709 --> 00:00:45.960 and I'd always been pleasantly interacting with your patients. 15 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:47.567 It was a very pleasant experience. 16 00:00:47.568 --> 00:00:52.066 Whenever I've spoken to any of them, they hold you in the highest regard 17 00:00:52.067 --> 00:00:55.192 for not just the results, but how you've taken care of them. 18 00:00:55.193 --> 00:00:58.208 That's why you are one of the best surgeons in the world 19 00:00:58.209 --> 00:01:00.107 on the Ape to Gentleman article yet again. 20 00:01:00.108 --> 00:01:02.108 -I just wanted to say, well done. -Thank you. 21 00:01:02.109 --> 00:01:04.150 I appreciate this honor to be included 22 00:01:04.151 --> 00:01:06.917 in the upper echelon of our hair-restoration surgeons. 23 00:01:07.025 --> 00:01:10.892 It's truly an honor to be included in that and recognized that way. 24 00:01:10.967 --> 00:01:15.958 I have to say the inclusion of that has made the patients coming to me 25 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.433 through your patient advocacy work to be very well-educated, well-informed, 26 00:01:21.783 --> 00:01:25.880 to be understanding about it is a process and not a treatment. 27 00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:28.950 It's not like they're driving through McDonald's and buying a Happy Meal, 28 00:01:29.008 --> 00:01:30.333 and then it's all said and done. 29 00:01:30.458 --> 00:01:31.800 There was a lot of planning, 30 00:01:31.801 --> 00:01:34.975 a lot of listening to the patients as an individual 31 00:01:34.976 --> 00:01:38.183 to see what goes into their psyche, how they think about it, 32 00:01:38.233 --> 00:01:39.683 and what they're really looking for. 33 00:01:39.684 --> 00:01:40.967 You really need to address that 34 00:01:40.968 --> 00:01:43.020 and not just be technically good at what you do. 35 00:01:43.050 --> 00:01:52.167 That's why you are so well-regarded with the practice and with your… 36 00:01:52.508 --> 00:01:58.325 The feedback that patients provide me is your level of expertise 37 00:01:58.326 --> 00:02:01.460 and your depth in preparation. 38 00:02:01.461 --> 00:02:04.880 Really, head transplant surgery is a bespoke surgery. 39 00:02:04.910 --> 00:02:07.008 It's not a cookie-cutter type of procedure, 40 00:02:07.009 --> 00:02:08.960 and you truly get that. 41 00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:11.275 You take so much time and care 42 00:02:11.276 --> 00:02:14.908 with every single patient that comes through your door. 43 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.133 That for me as a patient advocate and protecting patients, 44 00:02:19.134 --> 00:02:22.833 and my role in this space is to educate patients. 45 00:02:22.834 --> 00:02:26.758 Well, this is why I want to put them in touch with surgeons like yourself 46 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.433 because I know that they are going to be cared for 47 00:02:30.483 --> 00:02:32.967 as I would wish to be cared for. 48 00:02:33.525 --> 00:02:36.007 Surgeons such as yourself and all your esteemed colleagues 49 00:02:36.008 --> 00:02:38.525 that are on the list… We know the list is not exhaustive. 50 00:02:38.526 --> 00:02:41.450 There are many other fantastic surgeons out there. 51 00:02:41.842 --> 00:02:43.630 But for me to be able to guide patients to the- 52 00:02:43.830 --> 00:02:47.000 -That's true. -safer direction is fantastic. 53 00:02:47.030 --> 00:02:49.233 To have the platform of Ape to Gentlemen, 54 00:02:49.234 --> 00:02:52.217 which is the website, and the article in particular, 55 00:02:52.218 --> 00:02:54.792 is viewed by millions of people a year. 56 00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:59.280 To put them in touch with surgeons like yourself is fantastic. 57 00:02:59.310 --> 00:03:02.141 When I hear back from surgeons that they say 58 00:03:02.142 --> 00:03:07.200 the patients are very educated that come as a result of reading the article, 59 00:03:07.508 --> 00:03:09.567 well, my job is done because 60 00:03:09.568 --> 00:03:15.357 I can guide people in a safe direction, but I can't have the surgery for them. 61 00:03:15.358 --> 00:03:16.942 They have to do their own due diligence. 62 00:03:16.943 --> 00:03:18.842 They have to take their own responsibility. 63 00:03:18.843 --> 00:03:21.183 But if they're coming to surgeons such as yourself 64 00:03:21.184 --> 00:03:24.658 and they already understand the process and what's involved 65 00:03:24.659 --> 00:03:28.600 and their expectations are realistic, then the article has done its job. 66 00:03:28.630 --> 00:03:31.140 It's great to get that feedback from yourself. 67 00:03:31.170 --> 00:03:33.092 No, it is true. I find that to be… 68 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.298 It's a pleasure when people walk in 69 00:03:36.299 --> 00:03:38.733 and they tell me that they came through this channel. 70 00:03:39.133 --> 00:03:40.340 It really is. 71 00:03:41.083 --> 00:03:47.007 Well, I've noticed over the years that the article has been out there, 72 00:03:47.008 --> 00:03:48.783 and it'll be out there for perpetuity, 73 00:03:48.784 --> 00:03:51.608 but we do it every year and we update the article 74 00:03:51.609 --> 00:03:55.075 and we update the message slightly and we keep resources relevant 75 00:03:55.833 --> 00:03:59.250 because obviously, the industry is forever changing. 76 00:03:59.833 --> 00:04:07.742 Surgeons, there's always new surgeons that a spotlight needs 77 00:04:07.743 --> 00:04:11.582 to be put on them because of what they're doing for the industry 78 00:04:11.583 --> 00:04:14.558 and how they're helping benefit the industry. 79 00:04:15.325 --> 00:04:19.617 For people, I think patients that read the article or stumble across the article 80 00:04:19.618 --> 00:04:22.050 don't realize how fortunate they are 81 00:04:22.051 --> 00:04:25.800 of how much heavy lifting that article has done for them. 82 00:04:26.383 --> 00:04:29.267 100% true. You have vetted so much 83 00:04:29.268 --> 00:04:32.558 when someone comes across and reads that article and takes it in. 84 00:04:33.158 --> 00:04:36.582 It's much easier for them to find the surgeon that's going to provide 85 00:04:36.583 --> 00:04:37.967 something that they're really looking for. 86 00:04:37.968 --> 00:04:45.583 Indeed. The main body of the article is very much surgery is a last resort. 87 00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:49.825 It makes people take stock and make them accountable. 88 00:04:49.917 --> 00:04:56.292 They can't just go to anywhere and get, like you would, a heart transplant. 89 00:04:56.500 --> 00:05:00.340 If you're going for a hair transplant, you need to give it the same respect 90 00:05:00.383 --> 00:05:02.412 and do the same amount of research 91 00:05:02.413 --> 00:05:04.775 that you would before going under the knife. 92 00:05:04.817 --> 00:05:09.342 This article really pulls the bandaid off and makes people realize, 93 00:05:09.343 --> 00:05:11.925 "Hang on a minute, is hair transplant surgery for me? 94 00:05:11.926 --> 00:05:14.733 If it is for me, then fantastic." 95 00:05:14.792 --> 00:05:18.242 This authoritative piece has got a list of surgeons, 96 00:05:18.243 --> 00:05:19.742 and like we say, it's not exhaustive, 97 00:05:19.767 --> 00:05:24.325 but I know full well that those surgeons are going to educate that patient. 98 00:05:24.326 --> 00:05:26.433 If they're not eligible for surgery, 99 00:05:26.434 --> 00:05:29.082 they will be told that they're not eligible for surgery. 100 00:05:29.083 --> 00:05:31.092 Yes. That is 100% true. 101 00:05:32.817 --> 00:05:34.408 That's really key. 102 00:05:34.758 --> 00:05:38.724 Doc, I really appreciate everything you do for your patients, 103 00:05:38.725 --> 00:05:40.633 everything you've done for the industry. 104 00:05:40.683 --> 00:05:42.258 You're based in New York. 105 00:05:43.525 --> 00:05:46.760 It's fantastic.
