Dr Rushton and Dr Fenton - London (Doctors & Dermatologists)

ť For 3 years i've been given the run around by Dr Hugh Rushton that my
ť thinning hair was down to low iron alone. After having browsed him for the
ť last few months like a maniac, i have discovered from a few sites (this and
ť Keratin particularly) that he puts hair loss in women down to iron alone. I
ť then browsed for studies on low iron and hair loss (other than his own of
ť course). Although iron can "contribute" to hair loss, it isnt the sole
ť "cause" of hair loss, and it seems that this conclusion isnt well
ť documented on general web browses concerning hair loss, hence why many
ť women just go along with the "low ferritin theory".
ť
ť As my hair got progressively thinner, and i hit rock bottom a couple of
ť months back, I demanded my dermatologist refer me to another Dermatologist
ť (instead of Hugh Rushton, a Trichologist, and not a great one at that imo)
ť who specialises in hair loss: Dr Fenton. This Derm has diagnosed me with
ť AGA after a scalp biopsy showed i am shedding on the top and sides at a
ť rate of 6 times more than my lower back, thus showing a female pattern of
ť baldness.
ť
ť Dr Fenton was far more understanding and empathetic to my hair loss. He
ť didnt put down my thinning to being "all in my hand" or "paranoia", like
ť Hugh Rushton did. However, in my last appointment with him, I found that I
ť was being hurried along . Considering we, in the UK, whether we have
ť private cover or not, are paying these guys some 1-200 pounds for 30
ť minutes, it really peeves me off that one isnt comforable about their
ť situation when they leave the consultation room.
ť
ť Anyone else felt like this? That no one can understand? This is the reason
ť why i've ended up on websites searching for others who actually
ť understand!!!!
ť
ť Dr Fenton costs Ł250 for 30 minutes!

Try Dr. Redmond in NYC. He sees patients from all over the world and may be willing to do a phone consult given your proximity. Hormone Help Center of New York. He's incredibly well versed in AGA, he also wrote a great book called The Hormonally Vulnerable Woman. I recommend reading it. Good luck.

Debbie is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO
