No kidding - very strange advice. I've never heard anyone say, "if you think your hair is thinning, see a hair transplant surgeon". As mentioned before, any doctor can claim to be a hair transplant surgeon. There is no speciality attached to it (other than general surgery, I hope!). They aren't cosmetic surgeons (one of the most competitive and technical of all specialties), and they certainly aren't dermatologists (another very competitive and intensive speciality). Any Mexican med-school grad can take a weekend course and start advertising themselves as "hair restoration specialists".

Prior to the development of "the Big 3", going to a dermatologist was a waste of time; they couldn't do anything for you except tell you what you already knew (unless you had some kind of fungus or other problem that could have been causing your hair loss). Today, dermatologists are much more knowledgeable about hair loss prevention, and there are actually products they can proscribe that will help.
