Hair Transplant With Dr. Nicholas Agnesi

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Before and after photos to come once the healing finishes and the hair begins to grow I had actually saw the bad review before I went to see Dr. Agnesi and it sounded less like truth and more like the rantings of a lunatic, so i completely disregarded it and went anyway.

Now that I see how Dr. Agnesi treats his clients, I am very happy that I chose him and am compelled to comment on the bad, unbelievable review that I read, on a side note, I can not wrap my head around why anyone would tear out their own grafts. This is my second hair transplant (my first was with another surgeon) and I feel that it went smoother than the first one, and even though I am only 12 days post-op, I am happier than I was at this point with my first. The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and catered to me more like I was their guest than their patient.

I would highly recommend Dr.

Agnesi and am so happy that I did not decide against going to him because of a bad review. If I have to go back a third time to make my hair thicker once it grows in, i will not even consider shopping around for a different doctor.

Bad Hair Surgery with Dr. Agnesi.

I had a transplant by Dr. Agnesi, and it was terrible.

I have been suffering from nerve damage on my skull from his last incision, and removal of a strip. The transplant never worked, and when I confronted him, he insisted that it was successful, even though there was no hair growth. This company is bad, and Dr. Agnesi is a terrible surgeon.

I am not going through a different surgeon, world renowned, who said to me: Who is Dr. Agnesi? If I don't know him, he is not someone trustworthy. I implore people to do research, and not go by how cheap this procedure is with Dr.

Agnesi. He ignored what i wanted and implanted dead follicles, in a procedure that only lasted two hours. I assume part of the guilt, because I blindly trusted Ron Walters (Fort Wayne, IN) and the surgeon. Now, I just to inform others of my bad procedure.

It was incredibly painful, and he had a heavy, heavy hand. They need to revoke his license. There was never a follow-up, or anything.

Stay away from Dr. Agnesi!!!

Bad hair transplant performed by Nicholas F Agnesi

My hair transplant surgery (front portion) was ruined by Dr Nicholas F Agnesi of Hairline Clinic in Akron and Independence Ohio. He disregarded my specific wishes, wiped off the pattern that I drew for him off my head, and got the hairline all wrong. He also harvested the wrong hairs from the base of my skull. The hairs he transplanted don't grow well at all. They never have. Not even when I was a teenager. He should have taken the hairs at least one inch higher. Everyone agreed that I had plenty of reliable donor hair but Dr Agnesi didn't bother to look closely and take the best hairs. He just rushed through the job and took the wrong hairs at the base of my skull.

When I let Dr Agnesi know what he did wrong, he said that he might be willing to replace the bad hairs after I talk to the president of Hairline Clinic Rob Hoffman. It had to be his call. But when I talked to Rob Hoffman at the Akron location, he refused to even look at the bad work. His attitude was one of complete denial. He just pretended everything was fine and refused to do anything about it. No look. No fix. No refund.

I knew those hairs would never grow well but they did take up space. They would make a future transplant (a fix) near impossible. So I was left with no choice but to rip all those bad grafts out myself before they healed. It was a nightmare but I got it done. Now I'm out thousands of dollars and I have nothing to show for it but a very bad memory and a nasty scar at the base of my skull.

Dr Agnesi also works for Advanced Hair Restoration of Ohio.

Now I'm talking to an attorney and trying to find a new HT doctor who will do what I wish, take their time, and pay attention to detail.

What a ridiculous review Jim!

I had actually saw your b/s review before I went to see Dr. Agnesi and it sounded less like truth and more like the rantings of a lunatic, so i completely disregarded it and went anyway.

I too had a hair replace by this doctor . He ignored what I wanted and did what he wanted to do .

By the time he was done he left two huge balding areas on my head and told me he put 450 grafts on top of my head when in fact I counted every cut he did and he only put 200 on my head and lied to me . Also he told me if he did my whole area that my hair permanent hair would all fall out and I could go bald from putting my head in shock. Which is a lie . U can put as many grafts as u need in one setting.

He just wanted me to come back so they could get more money. He broke my trust and let me down and I cried for two weeks after the surgery . He don't care . I have tried to talk to him.

It was a 3,500$ procedure and the hair they put in my head fell out already . It's been 3 months . I have like 60 or so little hairs on my forehead and that's it. I had high expectations of my surgery and was let down .

The place I went I won't mention the name but it was filthy and they were unfriendly . I seen two dead coach roaches on the floor when I got my stitches removed. They owner of the building was very nice and said they would fix it but I don't want to be cut open again by that same doctor who broke my trust . And the consultant lies and talks in circles non stop .

Will tell u want u want to here then the doctor will come in and tell what he is going to do and I tried to tell them what I wanted and all I hear is no we will do it this way.

I am shocked and out over 3 grand with a large scare across the back of my skull. Very traumatic situation .by the way no one has even called to see how I was doing .

Mr Ohio thrift if they didn't do your surgery right you can sue them for the bad work. Also let me see the photos.

Hairline clinic if you didn't screw up the surgery you can sue him for slander and make him take down the web page. He put up a whole web page complaining about you. I'll believe whoever makes the first move.

The rest of you its simple.

There is a lot of bad work in the hair transplant business. There are a lot of bad reviews out there. Just find a transplant doctor with all good reviews. Just search them by name and check for bad reviews and bad marks.

Keep doing that until you find one with no complaints and no bad marks. Go out of state if you have to.

Take all the right precautions and you should be fine. You better get it done right the first time or you will be sorry.

Hey anonymous. You are a liar.

and a *** one at that.

First of all, when you consult with Nick Agnesi for a hair transplant, you are NOT led into a room with "many of his clients" waiting to share their experiences with you or let you examine their transplants up close. It just doesn't work that way.

There are no Nick Agnesi hair transplant parties to attend.

There are no clubs which require proof of Agnesi work in order to secure membership. In fact, most recipients of hair transplants are very sensitive when it comes to the work they have had done. For that reason, you are not likely to find 'many' of them in one place. Let alone 'many' who have had work done by one surgeon in particular.

Therefore, your claim that you have "seen this Dr's work and spoke to many of his clients" would be outrageous even if I didn't already know first hand that it just doesn't work that way.

So the next time you want to discredit me, the victim of Agnesi's arrogant and careless attitude or post a cute little ad on his behalf, do your homework first.

In the meantime, I have a question for you? Would you like to see the 'before' and 'after' photos which prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that Nick Agnesi altered my desired hairline? No?

That's what I thought. Next.

Do your before and after photos show you pulling out the transplants? I don't want a 3 page run on response.

Quite frankly no one really gives a flying rats *** what you have to say. The only mistake the Doc made was taking you on as a client. Have you not noticed that out of the thousands of clients he has your the only one over the course of a 20 year plus career that is poorly attempting to publicaly slander one of the best doctors in the industry? Deep down in your thick subconscious you know your wrong.

However you made such a drastic impulsive decision that you lead yourself to believe your completely in the right. Look around Jimmy... No one in the history of this well acomplished doctors career is making any sort of accusation whatsoever. You have nothing but your own realished story and a bucket of loose bolts constructing your thought process.

Move on! You made the mistake! You must accept the consequences! You should have left the implants in!

If what your claiming about your full growth potential is true, you can't prove it now. Take a second to think about the options if you had left the implants in your head. One of two things could have happened, your either right and your not satisfied with the growth or your wrong and you have hair filling in your balding head. If you were right you could have had your inadequate transplant as proof that you were not satisfied with the procedure.

Some how you came up with a third option, which is really coming back to *** you in the ***, you removed the transplants!!! Who does that!? You have no argument! You have no transplants!

You have no attorney willing to represent you! The only thing you do have is a balding head which you will have the rest of your life, because NO ONE is going to help you!

Guest

I have seen this Dr's work and spoke to many of his clients and they were all very happy with every aspect of the procedure. The post this man is putting on the web are absurd.

I truly hope he gets the help he obviously needs and its clearly not in the hair restoration field. I have booked my surgery with Dr Agnesi and im very happy I did!!

#1. No.

Council advised me to file a claim of 'Breach of Contract' and/or 'Professional Negligence'. One for the decision of Nick Agnesi to alter my desired hairline against my wishes. The other for his decision to harvest the hairs at the base of my skull without checking first to see if they were "the best" as I had specifically requested to reach maximum density and length.

#2. You're comparing apples and anvils.

A farmer may chose to leave seeds in the ground if there is no real harm in doing so. However, those bad grafts had to come out because they had no chance whatsoever to reach their desired length or grow to a relatively consistent length. They did however, take up space. Leaving them in would have made a corrective procedure virtually impossible.

#3.

I don't have 20+ years experience in the field of hair transplantation but I do have 20+ years experience with my own hair and my own hairline. I took this 20+ years of experience into account when I carefully drew a pattern for Nick Agnesi to fill in. Also, when I specifically requested that he transplant only "the best" hairs in order to produce the results that I desired and that I had been led to expect.

#4. Again, for those who absolutely refuse to see the point.

I did not want just another run of the mill transplant with a very high hairline leaving me no choice but to severely compromise my own sense of individuality and wear my hair in one of the most common short-hair styles for the rest of my life. I knew exactly what I wanted. I made it CRYSTAL CLEAR. Dr Agnesi had no right whatsoever to deliberately alter my desired hairline and he was evidently too careless, stubborn, and/or inexperienced to realize that he was transplanting substandard hairs that had no chance whatsoever to reach their desired length.

It was a botched job.

and don't put words in my mouth. I have nothing whatsoever against short-hair styles. If the majority prefer those styles, thats fine for them. I don't.

I've always worn my hair long and I refuse to compromise my own sense of individuality just to accommodate a surgeon who is either too careless, stubborn, or inexperienced to realize that not all hairs within the occipital area are created equal. Mine sure as *** aren't. They grow very short, fine, and frizzy at the base of my skull and just above my ears. They grow MUCH longer and MUCH more consistent near the middle and upper portion of the occipital area on my head.

Like I said, I was aware of this because of my 20+ years of experience with my own hair. This, AGAIN FOR SMALL THINKERS WHO CAN'T GRASP THE CONCEPT OF DETAIL OR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES, is why I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED THAT NICK AGNESI TRANSPLANT ONLY "THE BEST" HAIRS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM DENSITY AND LENGTH.

Somehow, he failed miserably. It was a botched job.

Guest

What did the attorney say? Im guessing council told you to find a new doctor.

This time in the mental health field. Do farmers spend all day planting corn to wake up the next day to say, "I think there are better seeds I could have used, lets yank all of these and start over". No! They wait and follow the directions of how it's been done time and time again.

The fact you took the liberty of making the decision to yank "your seads", as if you have 20+ years of experience as doctor, which you clearly don't, proves how compulsive and unstable your state of mind is.

Good luck with wasting your time and finding any doctor in the industry to help you. :)

In an effort to be as truthful and accurate as possible, I need to make one slight correction:

When I let Dr Agnesi know what he did wrong, he advised me to go back in to Hairline Clinic in Independence for an exam. When one of the associates there called him and let him know that my concern was legitimate, he said that he was 'open' to the idea of replacing the bad grafts but also that it would be necessary for me to meet with Rob Hoffman first.

When I met with Rob Hoffman later that day in Akron, his attitude was one of complete denial. Incredibly, this was even after one of his own associates found my concern to be legitimate.

Hence the complaint.

It's been nearly 10 months now.

There has been no attempt whatsoever by Nick Agnesi or Rob Hoffman to resolve the issue.

I own Hairline Clinic. In the 13 years that I have been at the helm customer satisfaction is our number one priority.

Next year we will be celebrating 50 years in business and this is the only customer to ever write a blog or not have his issue resolved by us. We will always do additional grafts for free if the transplant didn't grow the way both the patient and we think it should have. We go above and beyond to make sure that the clients expectations are realistic. That means that we make sure that the hairline is appropriate for age and will remain so for life.

Also that the patient understands that the hair will never be as thick as it was when they were young. The hair that has been lost is gone and we are not giving you more hair we are covering a larger area with the hair you have left. There isn't on patient that can't have a meeting with me and Doc. We will do everything in our power to make them happy.

It is unfortunate that these blogs exist and that just one person has the ability to sway another away from a company and Doctor that does good work. Just ask us and we will arrange for you to meet with patients before surgery so you can see the work and get a first hand accounting from the patient.

Rob Hoffman and/or Dr Nicholas F Agnesi, you are a liar. Your implication that I am 'incapable of reason' is a pathetic, cowardly, and desperate act of a liar caught in a lie.

A number of them actually. Now you're here, as expected, in a desperate ongoing attempt to cover them up. You are pathetic.

I'll remind you again Rob Hoffman. You could have avoided this.

You could have resolved this in a single day by taking the word of your own associate who found my concern to be legitimate, taking a look at the bad work yourself and making it right with a corrective procedure or a refund. At that time, either would have been fine with me. Instead, you pretended as if no wrong had been done.

I'll remind you again. Your own associate met with me at the Independence location and found my concern to be legitimate.

After all, she was the one who suggested that I use Rogaine and laser treatments for the rest of my life in order to get more density and length out of those wrongly transplanted hairs.

She is a very nice person. She knew that my concern was legitimate. She knew that I was upset.

She wanted to help in some way but that was the wrong thing to say. Now, because of your repeated lies and your cowardly refusal to admit any hint of wrongdoing, that associate has been put in a difficult position. Like the rest of your staff, she is probably aware of this page. If she comes to my defense, she will probably lose her job.

If she comes to yours, well, I won't even go there. I don't believe that she would lie for you.

Rob Hoffman, this is an ugly situation for everyone involved but it's your own *** fault. You should have resolved this a long time ago. It would have been the right thing to do.

By the way, the polygraph challenge remains. That's right. I challenge you to a polygraph test. Loser pays the bill.

No? That's what I thought.

It happened just the way I said it did.

This surgery was done to industry standards. After the doctor agreed to do the surgery putting the grafts in an area and shape the he normally wouldn't do he then took the hair from the safe zone in the donor area.

These are terminal hairs (full size hair) from an area that has the highest probablility of growing for life. When the patient expressed his concern for the way it would look we simply asked him to wait until it grew in (10 months) before passing judgement on the results. If he had done this I am sure he would be happy with it today.

However he went nuts threatening the Hair Line Staff in the Cleveland office picketing out front this after pulling the grafts out one by one at home himself. Some people are just incapable of reason and that is the case here.

I suspect that employees of Hairline Clinic have been marking this comment down. So here is what I'm willing to do. If you aren't sure that I'm telling the absolute truth, contact me. I will email you the photos that I had taken just before I plucked all the bad grafts out. I can also take high resolution photos of my hair system that was damaged when it was cleaned at the Akron location. I saved it for evidence. If i'm sure that you are legit, I will let you see the damaged hair system yourself. You will see that the hairs are still in excellent condition with no split ends. That's because I have taken such good care of it. But you will also see that the polyurethane has been damaged severely. The adhesive that Hairline Clinic sold me was never easy to clean off but that clumsy ox at Hairline Clinic must have scrubbed it with a stiff brush or something. She really did a number on that thing.

You will also see by comparing the photos of my surgery to the front of my hair system that Dr Agnesi did in fact alter my desired hairline drastically. The one that he made was much more high and narrow than the one on my system. I wanted it to look slightly receded like it did on my hair system but Dr Agnesi made it look more like Bruce Willis when he still had some hair left. The guy is a ***. He disregarded every single word that I said and did exactly what he wanted to do. Rob Hoffman is a bigger *** for refusing to make it right.

Contact me and I will Show you the evidence.

There were no question marks or typos in my original post. They were evidently added because of some site policy or glitch.

By the way, my plan was to allow my frontal transplant to grow long in order to blend in with a partial long hair system that I intended to wear further back (a full transplant would have cost $20,000 plus other expenses). Also, to hide the front edge of that long hair system. I explained this in explicit detail to Dr Agnesi and Rob Hoffman prior to surgery. Rob Hoffman told me that other clients before me had done the same thing with good results (I have my doubts.).

In addition, I specifically requested that Dr Agnesi transplant only the 'best' hairs in order to achieve maximum density and length. Not only did he *** the front hairline making it high and narrow much like that of Bruce Willis years ago but he transplanted hairs which have never grown long or dense. Not even when I was a teenager. He should have taken the hairs one inch higher instead.

They were MUCH longer and more dense.

Dr Agnesi's mistake may have been an honest one but it was an absolute deal breaker. A botched job.
