"Consultation"

I recently attended the Maitland Clinic for a consultation with David Anderson and Dr Edward Ball. Initially, I met with David and went through my medical background and my family background in terms of hair loss. We also discussed my expectations re hair surgery/use of medication etc and those of David. I also asked David about any questions/concerns etc that I had. David also used mirrors to show/explain some of the hair loss I had/would continue to have and what treatments might be used to combat this.

About halfway through the consultation, Dr Ball joined us - from surgery it looked like! He put a microscopic camera to my head and I was able to view the feed from the laptop. I was able to see my scalp way up close, and both Dr Ball and David examined and explained about the different types of hair and checked for availability/suitability for transplant. Dr Ball then drew on my head and used mirrors to show me where the transplant would take effect, which was most helpful. We further discussed the use of/ importance of medication for hair retention/regrowth. And also other treatments such as PRP.

During the consultation, both David and Dr Ball were very professional, friendly and honest about hair transplantation and the various treatments that go alongside this. I felt relaxed and comfortable, and able to chat freely with them about any concerns or questions I had. I would highly recommend The Maitland Clinic if you are considering having a consultation, or just want some more information/assurance about the process.

"Fut hair transplant at Maitland Clinic"

Amazing Experience from world class surgical team.
I had my fut procedure with Maitland clinic on Wednesday 12th June 2019.

The procedure started around 7:30 am.
Yidi(i hope i wrote the name correctly) and Morgan took my blood pressure test and Lunch order.
Then they explain gently how the procedure will go.
The way they talked with me and explained everything it was soooo caring and made me feel i am the most important person to them.

After that they took me to Surgical room where Dr Ball getting prepared for my procedure he introduced me to rest of the team members.
They all very professional,all in full surgical clothing.
Very clean and tidy surgical room same time relaxing atmosphere.

First step antibacterial hair wash then Dr Ball carefully trim the donor area which is after the stitching completely invisible.

Local anesthetic was the most scary part to me but Dr Ball and his team made it sooo comfort for me.
It was little painful but bearable.
Then the fut strip carefully taken out by Dr Ball and stitching done by Dr Ball.

What can i say about Dr Ball in a simple way,He is Master Of Perfection and Patient Caring.
He will not let you go out from his procedure room untill he feels it's done most perfectly and his team follow same ideology.
The amount of time he spent with me for pre operation consultation most doctor don't even spent that amount time for procedure.
I have sooooo much respect for him and his team.
Everyone is very polite,welcoming ,comforting and making sure am i ok and am i feeling any discomfort.

Incisions done by Dr Ball while my hair grafts carefully been separated under Microscopes
by Georgi and Mo .
They are such nice persons doing one of the most important part of the surgery,in the background throughout the day.

After the incisions it was time for lunch.
Thank you Morgan for the lovely lunch it was refreshing.
Throughout whole day there was more then plenty of snacks and drinks but I wasn't that interested on eating I don't know why .

I also needed minor mustache repair,i say minor but this is when I came to realise how Amazing Dr Ball is.
He was carefully extracting graft from my beard one at a time and placing it to my mustache area for repair.
Making sure the graft is on right place,right direction,and hair shaft is perfect position for that place.
That took Dr Ball more than hour and i can see and feel how he is planning and thinking which graft to go where,i am sooo Amazed.

After that grafts placement time on my scalp.
It was done by every single member of the surgical team including Dr Ball and Janna Shafer.

Janna Shafer she is the clinic director of the Maitland clinic and whole day she was tiredlessly making sure my surgery goes smoothly.
At one point i wasn't feeling well and needed a break they stopped everything and made sure that i ok.
Mo made me tea it was perfect cup of tea,thanks for your hospitality.
Because of I wasn't feeling well they had to stop everything it took till 10 pm to finish the grafts placement.
And not a single member of that entire team showed any sign of tiredness and I felt they want to do more for me.
At the end of surgery i wasn't feeling well again so Dr Ball,Janna Shafer and Mo stayed till late to comfort me.i cant thank you guys enough.
Janna and Dr ball personally drop me of to my hotel room and made sure i am ok.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN LOOKED AFTER THAT MUCH IN MY LIFE .
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH Maitland Clinic Team,i am very grateful to you.
YOU GUYS ARE THE WORLD'S BEST.
If i could give 5000 star review i would of and it won't be enough.

"I had x2 FUT with Dr Ball when he was…"

I had x2 FUT with Dr Ball when he was at Ziering Medical. Another FUE when he had opened up his own operation in Southampton.
All of which had brilliant results.
I guess I have enough donor for one more procedure and will return to Dr Ball when and if needed.
Thank you Janna as well for lending your skills over on two of those three procedures and apologies if I drove you both a bit nuts with my questions and hair greed!
One thing is clear however. His FUE technique and results were superior for me than the FUT’s received at Ziering. Just seem thicker, stronger with added coverage.

"Best for fue artistry and natural results"

I met with Senior Patient Advisor, David Anderson, and hair restoration surgeon, Dr. Edward Ball at the Maitland Clinic to discuss a FUE procedure to lower a genetically high hairline. They looked through my scalp with a digital microscope and were able to determine the density of my hair, and therefore how suitable I would be as a candidate. Dr. Ball then spent some time drawing a detailed new hairline on my head, which looked so natural and impressive - we had to take some photos. I could tell this was his field. He really understood the artistry of a hairline, and how it differs from the rest of the head. They explained everything perfectly: the light scarring to the donor area, the FUE punch size, recovery times.. the amount of grafts estimated. I felt very comfortable in this initial consultation. They were friendly, had first hand experience of hair transplants and weren't in the slightest bit pushy or sales focused. They were more concerned with the natural results. I consider them top for UK.

"It was great to be able to meet the…"

It was great to be able to meet the surgeon and have a review and opinion from the surgeon Dr Ball himself, I would recommend the consultation to anyone that is seriously considering their options as I'm fairly sceptical of simply sending photos of one's hairline to get an accurate assessment. When you are considering a treatment that can permanently change your appearance and the cost overall I think £100 is nothing

"Consultation with The Maitland Clinic"

I recently traveled to London to meet with Senior Patient Advisor, David Anderson, and Dr Ball to discuss my hair loss. Both Mr Anderson and Dr Ball were professional and genial.

I was quite impressed by the thoroughness of the consultation. Dr Ball used a camera to examine my donor area at the back of my head and I could see video of my scalp on a laptop. Dr Ball was keen to explain how each follicle has one, two, or three individual hairs growing from them and that quality transplants require smart placement to build a realistic hairline. Singles go at the front of the hairline; doubles and triples build density further back.

I was keen to ask about the surgery day itself, and was glad to hear that Dr Ball and his team work full time in hair restoration. This is crucial to me as I would rather put my trust in a team who work together with each other every day.

I am transgender and I was pleased to hear that Dr Ball has done hair restoration work with several trans people in the past. He is clearly at ease around trans people and I have no hesitation in recommending a visit to his clinic.

"Amazing care and customer service!"

Amazing care and customer service!

having seen 3 other reputable consultants for a hair transplant local to harley street- consultant David Anderson and Dr Ball were by far the outstanding persons who i'd want to have my transplant with.

on our first consultation David made me feel at ease, took by far the most amount of time to discuss my feelings about hair loss and what I felt was wrong, and then what he felt they could do with no bs. He was also the only consultant to take care examining what i felt was thining and the only one to use a microscope to examine and show me what was strong and where was thinning.

No sales tactics just honest feedback and information which is what was needed, even so, organizing a second visit with Dr Ball just to confirm David's thoughts on what they felt needed doing.

Not even had my surgery yet but after doing my homework with other surgeons and looking at clear results photo's of hairlines and naturalness, along with customer care already had, i have literally zero concerns going with the Maitland clinic.

"Consultation with the Maitland Clinic Portsmouth"

I went for a consultation with the Maitland Clinic in Portsmouth after having a hair transplant elsewhere that I was unhappy with. After meeting with David and Dr Ball I have been given a lot of helpful advice and they were very thorough in assessing my situation and offering a solution that is realistic and suits what I need.

I would definitely recommend visiting them if you are looking into hair transplants or other hair loss treatments.

"I attended a consultation with David…"

I attended a consultation with David Anderson, Senior Patient Advisor, who was very informative and gave me what I consider to be excellent advice. There was no evidence of hard-sell whatsoever.

"Hair Transplant - The Maitland Clinic - Edward Ball"

I came to the Maitland clinc and Dr Edward Ball via a glowing recommendation.

I then experienced a superb experience form start to finish. Incredibly professional clinic and can not fault their knowledge or advice about treatment options, products and future planning for my hair. So I then decided to take the plunge this year with a transplant.

Initially David Anderson was my first point of contact who is 'Senior Patient Advisor' and he absolutely on the pulse of current knowledge and treatments (as of course is Ed Ball once I met him) protocols.

I travelled to Portsmouth for both my initial consultation (as I preferred to meet both David & Edward) and of course for my procedure later on. Just 2 hours for me. Although you might think of London or Harley Street as an indicator of getting the best, I would say a recommendation sits much higher for me and it was a pleasure to visit and stay in Portsmouth actually, the clinic is currently in a large new build business complex and overlooks a super lake and forest vista - super relaxing.

The whole team and the after care was first class and they even refunded me some of my payment as Doctor Ball used less grafts - what other company would do that?

I have stayed as a patient and have opted for PRP therapy as part of my maintenance.
