Steve Gillen is a former employee of my company. He has health issues that impair him from leaving home to work. After he was fired from his job as a hair transplant salesman at Medical Hair Restoration, I gave him an opportunity to work for me from his home. I considered Steve a friend and i always did my best to take care of him. The problem is that he has a very bad temper and he is abusive toward other employees. I did not terminate Steve and I never had any issues with him. The females in my office did, however. The office managment terminated him because he did very little work and he was verbally abusive toward the females on a daily basis. Steve Gillen should also recognize that my surgery staff has been with me for many years. They are very well trained. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my work. My surgery staff is very closely monitored and they are the best in the hair transplant industry in my opinion. They take pride in their work and they do an oustanding job. Steve Gillen is now a paid salesman for a number of other hair transplant physicians. He makes his living from home trying to send people to the physicians who pay him a fee for patients.
Ballonman is a sick, twisted individual who has made some very poor choices in the past for his hair restoration. By his own accounting he has had multiple surgeries to repair his strip scaring and over 7000 grafts (most of them never grew) in the front 1 cm of his hair line. These procedures included agressive ballon expanders. Subsequent to this, he sought discounted FUE surgeries all over the world from individuals who had less than one year of medical experience in in remote places such as Greece. Despite the fact that a clinic in Greece had over 30 years of poor growth history and it's physicians had only months of surgical hair transplant training, he considered them an expert and sought a surgical solution for his hair loss. When he got poor results, he then went to another individual, Dr. ********, who did not even have a medical license and still doesn't. Another good choice? Then he went to another individual in Jacksonville, Larry Leonard, who never had a medical license. Every decision he has made in his hair restoration has been based on low pricing or discounted surgery. Ballonman has over 7000 grafts in the front 1 cm of his hair line and it looks terrible. The growth has been very poor. Frankly, he could have gotten better results from far fewer grafts, but he is no one to make good decisions when it comes to his own surgery. Therefore, why should anyone listen to his advice? Now he is bitter with me because I refused to take him on as a patient and I refused to do a free surgery for him just because he is the famous internet poster, Ballonman.
Ballonman does not point out that Dr. ******** and Larry Leonard got their training in my office. Perhaps this is why he chose them. He could not get into my office so he went to someone who worked under me for several years. Both Larry and Dr. ******** now run their own offices. They run them illegally, but they run them never the less. If the surgery staff in my office is so well trained that they can go out and open their own office without a medical license and get patients to come to them, this speaks volumes about the quality of staff I have in my office. One thing I can assure you, however, is that the staff I have in Atlanta is far better than either one of these surgery technicians and their training is far more advanced than that of Larry or Dr. ********. This is because training is an on going process. My procedure continues to improve on a daily basis. Neither Larry or Dr. ******** have worked in my office for years. Therefore, their training is stuck at the point where they went out on their own to open their illegal medical practices.
As i stated, these are personal issues with Steve Gillen (gillenator) and Ballonman. Their is no validity to them what so ever. This is not personal opinion. It is false information, mud slinging, and a smear campaign. It is damaging. By definition it is libel. The monitor or administrator of this forum has a responsiblity to do a better job of policing this forum.
