I am getting a 2500 hair transplant with Umar next week. I have receeding temples and some diffuse thinning in the front.
Two reasons he might have denied you. First, in my two meetings and correspondence with him, I get the distinct impression that he feels snake bitten with previous complaining patients that he has had, that were upset about things (like redness and shockloss) before they realized the transplant was successful and became happy.
Umar REALLY tries to manage expectations. If your questions made him feel in anyway that you might be high maintanence or a problem down the road, he might have decided to deny you.
OR, he might have felt that the risk/reward with your diffuse thinning was too great. I'm 36 and we discussed that fact that I was a good age because although I have been on propecia for 7 years very successfully, naturally hair loss tends to slow down at my age. At 30, he might see you as a higher risk.
Also, you could be a risk for him as well. I mean if there is an even somewhat decent probability that you might have sub-par results, maybe its too risky for a Dr. that is highly regarded on the net and probably sees a great deal of business from it as well.
Umar comes across as very ethical. And maybe a little overly cautious. Although, practicing cosmetic medicine in California would make a strong case for being cautious.
You might want to ask you why he said yes first and then changed his mind. You may have to win him over.
