i had my 1st ht last july at the hospital group, i now want to have a 2nd one but i dont want to go back to the hospital group, traveling out of the country is not a option so would like to know who is the best clinic to get the procedure done in england ?
please share with me your experiences
Hi United Forever
My personal opinion is Dr. Rogers (Rogers Medical in Stratford), I don't think you'll get much argument that he and his clinic are pretty much as good as it gets in the UK and he performed my first procedure (and almost certainly next procedure).
It's worth considering abroad too if there is any possibility, I've heard very good things about the top American clinics and they do more density per session in some of the larger clinics; it all depends what is important to you.
Again personally, and like you, I chose to stay in the UK and am overjoyed at my results, but have always tried to weigh up all the options before deciding.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Why is traveling not an option, if you're limiting yourself to the UK then you're limiting your final result. You've made that mistake once already.
PS Yet another satisfied Hgroup customer I see.
I hope their rep (best-ht-uk) is watching.

Fair enough about not wanting to travel to the US, I won't pry. Besides, I'm sure you'll be more than happy with the work Dr. Rogers will carry out for you.
From the examples I've seen and with my own procedure the only advantage the bigger American surgeons offer is density per session and Dr. Rogers will tell you this himself.
The over-all quality is pretty much the same with Rogers as it is with the US and Canadians, he even uses the same techniques and I believe lab equipment, but you might need to get it done over a few sessions.
I have images of my own precedure on my site with before and after pictures, including a couple from the day after the transplant, feel free to check them out.
Also, if it makes you feel better, even after carefully researching many of the clinics abroad and not really being limited financially (though not wanting to waste money) I felt the UK was able to offer *exactly* what I wanted with no need to travel.
Good luck with whichever option you choose, please keep us updated with your progress.
P.S. if you want to chat and your issue is sensitive, you're welcome to drop me a private message.

hi,it would be helpfull if you post before photo's if you wish to get an honest opinion anyone making one without seeing them would be an idiot!! also how many grafts did you have transplanted s.a.f.t. you would be taken more serious if you refrain from making sarcastic comments and personal attacks ,you seem to spend a lot of time on here posting your one-sided ideas in a bullish manner
you seem to know far to much on the medical and technical side of things to be just an ex-patient and coupled with the amount of posts you have made it should bring into question why your opinion's are always negative on clinics other than american ones
@best-uk-h/t Are you saying I'm an idiot for posting my opinion on the posters question?
I don't need to see anyones photos to express *my* opinion on who *I* think is the best HT surgeon practicing in the UK.
Frankly best-uk-h/t, the way you constantly attack people and make false accusations about people who don't agree with your own opinion is really not doing your clinic of choice any favours. Also, while SAF and I don't always see eye-to-eye, the guy also had a *very* bad experience with a UK clinic so his position is understandable.

Geminix if you would take the time to read s.a.f comments to me above your head you would see im replying to the guy who posted !!!and to the rude remarks S.A.F. made to me ,l don't no what go's on here sometimes if i said who did my Transplants l get problems from all the coalition partners yet theres you promoting Dr Rogers who by the way l had a consult with and turned him down and went with Dr westwood and l think you might find they worked at the same clinic once!by the way have you seen this guys before photos?the point i was making you can't give advice unless you see the before photos the guy might have had to much expectations on out come and another thing it would be better to wait another 4 months to see the final out come
Geminix l have read that S.A.F. according to him had not one but 3 bad experiences with 2 clinics here in the uk , he has had no experience with the HG or with Rodgers westminster clinic or Stratford or the other 14 to 20 clinics that are working in this country so l do think that by saying all uk clinics are no good is missleading
Geminix by the way l have looked at your webpage and l can understand your happy with your results ,so please tell me why i shouldn't be happy about my results because everytime l express my results l get a load of abuse if you look back through my posts lve even been told to die slowly yet no one says anything about these nastie comments lve had
