Ask who is actually
holding the punch.
In a large share of clinics the doctor marks the hairline, greets you, and leaves the room. Technicians extract and implant every graft. It is legal in practice and it is almost never disclosed, and it is why you can be quoted the same number of grafts by two clinics and walk away with two completely different results. The table below is our answer, printed and placed in your file.
Questions to ask here, and everywhere else
Who makes the recipient sites?
Site creation determines angle, direction and density. It is the design of your hairline. If the answer is anyone other than Dr. Revanth, he did not design your hairline. He sketched it.
How many surgeries run in parallel today?
A surgeon supervising four theatres is supervising none of them properly. Ask for the day's operating list. We run one major case per operating day.
Can I see the OT before I pay?
A clinic that will not show you the room where it will operate on you is telling you something. Ours is open for inspection on any working day, no appointment required.
What the doctor does. What the team does.
Technicians are essential. A 3,000 graft case cannot be done without a trained team. The question is not whether technicians are involved. It is which steps they are allowed to perform.
This table is printed and placed in your file. If any step on it is delegated on the day of your surgery, you may cancel and take a full refund.

This week in the OT
Both lists, hair and skin, published together. The clinic is closed on Monday and Tuesday and those days stay in the table, because a week with two honest blanks tells you more about how this theatre is run than a week where every day is full.
