Canceling Hair Transplant Procedure After Reading Bad Review of Surgeon Online?

This question comes from a member of our hair loss social community and discussion forums: 

I recently scheduled a hair transplant procedure with a trusted surgeon. After scheduling, however, I found a bad review online. I performed a lot of research and felt comfortable with the doctor, but now I’m not sure. Should I cancel the procedure after finding a bad review of my hair transplant surgeon online?

If you search hard enough, you will likely find “dirt” on every hair transplant surgeon practicing today. Not only is it difficult to verify this information, especially when it comes from unfamiliar sources, but no surgeon “bats a thousand” and all doctors have a few bad cases. 

However, conducting thorough research and choosing a surgeon who has been carefully reviewed and approved by experts and patients alike usually helps ensure quality work. Recommended hair transplant surgeons boast impressive track records and most patients come to the same conclusion during their research. Stress before a hair transplant procedure is definitely understandable, and online feedback should not be automatically dismissed. However, performing diligent research and consulting with proven, trusted physicians usually helps lead to positive outcomes and impressive results!
