"2000 grafts at the Maitland Clinic"

I had my hair transplant at the Maitland clinic just under 2 weeks ago. I spent several years watching my hair slowly but surely thinning before my eyes. I'm so pleased to have done something about it at last. Dr Ball and all his team are so helpful, and their expertise made me feel totally confident I had come to the right place. The day of the procedure I was so well looked after, and you really feel everyone involved goes out of their way to do their best work. In the first week post op, the hardest part is sleeping, because you have avoid contact with the newly planted grafts. However, The Maitland Clinic took great care to give clear instructions every step of the way, and it has been SO worth it!

"New hairline!"

My temple areas have had a receding look for my whole life, and I have always hidden these areas and never tied my hair back. I started looking into hair transplants a few years ago, and decided on The Maitland Clinic based on competitive prices and happiness with my initial consult.

I had my FUT transplant last week! The whole experience was amazing. I had a consult with Dr. Ball the evening before the procedure to discuss plan, expectations and what is involved. He made me feel comfortable with his level of knowledge and his design of my hairline.

The day of the procedure ran so smoothly. The staff were all sooooo lovely, and I was spoilt with drinks and snacks. It was all very sterile which was reassuring. I watched Netflix all day and drifted in and out of sleep. I didn’t experience any discomfort throughout the day. My donor site has been a little sore to lie on whilst sleeping since, but otherwise the first week of recovery has been super straight forward. Luckily having long hair I have been able to hide the donor and transplant sites easily so have still been able to leave the house. I can finally touch the transplant site and wash my hair, and as far as I can tell all the little hairs are still there! I can’t wait to see my results in the future!

I would thoroughly recommend The Maitland Clinic based on my experience. Why wait, your hair transplant could change your life!

"Very informative and helpful"

I had a fantastic online consultation with David at the Maitland Clinic. He was so informative and was really trying to find the best outcome for me. I really appreciated the thorough knowledge and multiple options I was given. I highly recommend anyone who wants to speak to someone as a first step to get in touch with The Maitland Clinic.

"FUE Procedure 1300 grafts"

After much deliberation I went ahead and had an FUE procedure at the Maitland Clinic a month ago tomorrow. I had met with both David Anderson and then later Dr Ball and it was that meeting in Portsmouth last year that convinced me I had made the right choice of clinic. The week or so leading up to the day I came into contact with karen Cobb the clinic nurse and she was fantastic and put me at ease with her manner and professionalism nothing was too much trouble.
The day itself was amazing as the team around Dr Ball are so friendly and reassuring, there was music and films and chat and banter. Plenty of fluids, lunch and snacks. Yes there is some discomfort, mainly the initial anaesthetic injections, but overall much less than I thought. Dr Ball is brilliant and his team a real pleasure to spend time with. It was a long day 12 hrs but these guys see it through to the end there is no rushing everything is meticulous. Post op I am really happy as again the attention you get is amazing. Fingers crossed it all works out but so far so good

"Clinic of Excellence"

I had a hair transplant at the Maitland Clinic on the 28th January, after just two and a half weeks I have a proper hairline and can't stop looking in the mirror, it feels incredible. The next stage for me is for the grafts to shed and the regrowth to begin which takes a few months but seeing now what it will eventually look like is a great feeling. I would say to anyone looking to have a transplant don't be anxious there's no need to be, my only regret is that I didn't do it earlier 5 years ago but like a lot of guys I was nervous about it and didn't know what to expect. All I can say is that in choosing the Maitland Clinic I made the right decision as they a certainly the best in the field, from the first consultation with David Anderson through to the surgery with DR Ball and his team they are meticulous in every aspect. Dr Ball is without doubt the best in class and his support technicians are excellent. I should also mention Karen the head nurse who looked after me so well on the day of surgery and has called me weekly to see how things are developing. If you are considering a transplant use the Maitland Clinic and you will have a fantastic experience and be delighted with the result as I am, I can not recommend this clinic highly enough.

"FUE - 1,150 Grafts."

I first noticed early signs of hair loss in my temple areas during my mid- to late-twenties, and started using minoxidil and finasteride as a result. This seemed to stem the tide and I noticed some partial regrowth, however, they didn't get me completely back to where I had been a few years ago. Subsequently, I explored the possibility of a hair transplant.

I met with Dr Ball and David Anderson after some online research. What attracted me to the Maitland Clinic was Dr Ball's internationally recognised accreditations, the quality of their transformations, and the tone of their website. They aim at offering a more conservative approach with a view to long-term satisfaction.
After discussing my family history of hair loss, Dr Ball made it clear there is every chance I could need at least 1 more HT after this one, and so it would be advisable to go for a subtle improvement to my hair line this time - leaving plenty of potential future donor grafts remaining.

After deciding to go ahead, I had my procedure this Wednesday (10th February). I was understandably apprehensive, but the entire team made me feel so at ease the entire day. In particular, the pre-op assessment with Dr Ball was very reassuring where we spent a good hour discussing and designing my hair line. The only discomfort I experienced was the anaesthetic injections but they were over very quickly. I was also given a couple of diazepam to help me relax during the day. I really appreciated being told what was happening the whole time, what I would feel (if anything), and what the team in the background would be doing. The whole team were very empathetic, sociable, and down to earth. It is a long day (11hrs) but I can tell you that the whole team is extremely meticulous with every part of the procedure.

I'm only a couple of days into recovery but overall I would say things have gone very well. I did have some painful swelling in the forehead region straight after my op but this only lasted a few hours. My face though has now swelled up like a balloon with 1 black eye! The sleep protocol isn't fun, but if it leads to the best results then of course it's worth it.

Overall I am extremely happy that I decided to get my treatment done with Dr Ball, they were honestly faultless in my eyes. If I do end up having to have a top-up in a few years time, I certainly won't be looking to get it done anywhere else. My only slight complaint would be that the clinic does get booked up months in advance (presumably for good reason) so you may have to wait a few months for a procedure date after deciding to go for it!

"I’ve just had a procedure carried out and I am so delighted"

I’ve just had a procedure carried out by Dr Ball and his team. I am totally delighted with the result and I’m just amazed how in just 48 hours both the donor and the recipient areas of my head have recovered. I’m sure it is down to the care and attention that was given throughout the 12 hours or so that I was in their very capable hands. I would just like to say that I had been considering having a hair procedure for at least the last 15 years. I have met with a number of other clinics and also some eminent doctors in their field, but it was only Dr Ball that made me feel sufficiently comfortable and confident to go proceed. I found it a very difficult decision to make but as I’ve said, I am now so pleased I took the plunge. So, if you are currently reading this review and have any concerns or are seriously considering having a procedure, I would 100% suggest that you should consult Dr Ball and his team. He is a great guy and has a super team to support him.

"Amazing experience"

In February last year I had a hair transplant with Dr Ball in Portsmouth. The whole experience was amazing and I really can't say enough good things about Dr Ball and his team.

My consultation was with David and it was detailed and helpful. He was far more honest and realistic than other clinics I spoke to. I met Dr Ball a few weeks in advance of my procedure and again the day before. This guy is really particular about the detail. I mean he analysed my situation, took onboard everything I said and planned it out like a military operation. I feel like this guy is in the sweet spot in that he has a lot of experience under his belt but still early enough in his career that he is super passionate and obsessive about getting you the best possible result. It really feels like he enjoys this and takes the most enormous pride in his work. It made me feel so confident that I had the best man on the case.

The day of the procedure was easy and relaxing. I mean I actually quite enjoyed the day, which sounds nuts. Karen is the clinic manager and she is really lovely and calming. I don't remember all the technicians names but there was a woman called Ildi who was really cool and she seemed very focussed on the task at hand. As others have said, Dr Ball is a super nice guy. I especially liked how he managed his staff. He's so polite and respectful to everyone and it just feels like there is such a good vibe in that place.

My results are outstanding. There is good density and with a very natural hairline. He was very particular about getting those really fine hairs and popping them just off the hairline. Those little details have played out really well. So a big thankyou to Dr Ball and his team!

"3500 graft FUT transplant at the Maitland Clinic"

I had a transplant by FUT at the Maitland Clinic in Portsmouth in August (2020). I'm only 2 months on from that now - things have healed nicely and the grafts are in their rest phase. I expect to see some growth in the new year and into 2021. The scar at the back of my head is very neat and with a little hair growth around it is invisible to anyone looking, even from close up. You can still see it if you lift up the hair, but it's healing nicely and becoming way less obvious.
I have to say that the team at Maitland have been fantastic and the experience so far has been great. The information provided before and after the surgery was extremely comprehensive and helpful - all the post-op stuff was spelled out to help me remember what to do when. Dr Ball and his team were all (without exception) so friendly and welcoming on the day too, which really helps put your mind at ease as you're about to get started. Interestingly from chatting to Dr Ball on the day i discovered he has a perhaps unique blend of experience and skills from having been involved in dermatology and plastic surgery as well as hair restoration - these must be such complementary fields and I'm sure contribute to his reputation.
Post-op care as I mentioned above has been great. Karen the practice manager has been in touch lots, checking up on me, asking for photos at regular intervals to ensure everything is healing properly. It's reassuring to know that they do care and it's definitely not a case of 'fire and forget' :)
So now i wait for the regrowth and am glad that my shorn scalp is growing back steadily! I'll post some photos as things start to develop.
All in all very happy with the Maitland Clinic - I'd be very please to recommend them based on my experience so far.

"I had an Fut procedure at the Maitland…"

I had an Fut procedure at the Maitland Clinic 08/10/2020 and I can't speak highly enough of the experience.

It was almost closer to a Spa day than a surgical procedure with unlimited drinks, snacks and Netflix to boot! As for the surgery then I was in the very capable hands of Dr Ball, who throughout the day would always explain what he was doing and was always happen to a answer any questions I had throughout the day regarding the procedure.

He has a very clam and reassuring manner and I could tell that he cared deeply about the care of his patients. I felt no pain whatsoever during the surgery and felt at complete ease at all times.

What came through was the teamwork and utter dedication to their work. You can sense that they all enjoy their work and are completely committed to giving the client the best possible result.

I would also like to mention Karen, as she is a simply wonderful lady who answered all my many questions leading up to the surgery and was always on hand during the day to offer advice and support if needed. She also provided the post op care guidelines to me which are very easy to follow and all written down for your convenience.

I had about 1600ngrafts to my crown and the whole day in my case lasted from 9am to 7pm.

The first night was a tiny bit uncomfortable due to my stitches at the back of my head. However it was just a little uncomfortable and I managed some sleep.

All in all I was delighted with how the day went and of course the initial result.

I would like to pass on my heartfelt thanks to Dr Ball, Karen and the rest of their amazing team. I now look forward to the results in the months to come.
