All the guys you list i agree are good. Rahal that guy in Canada know for his hairlines? I only stating US guys. Bernstien is good but he not better than Cole or Babauc. I know first hand. Cole and Babauc also offer BHT and do repair work. I dont know many doctors doing bht. Cole has lot experience in repair work and moving hairtransplants game forward as a whole. im not sure how he burned people. He does lost repair cases and those guys going him think he can work miracles get upset and expectations too high. Anyways im looking for bets bht doctor at this time. Umar has lot experience but his artistic skill is not there.
Well we'll agree to disagree on Cole and Baubac. I don't want to get into all the specifics of what I know but when I say Cole isn't on par with those guys it's with reason, there are docs that are at the level you believe him to be at, you'd be well served to go those other directions but ultimately that is everybodys own choice. I got no real complaints about Baubac, i just disagreed about him being the best hairline doc, I got a few ahead of him but he delivers results.
Umar is definitely the bht doctor to go with if you need to max grafts, nobody gets the number he does, most don't like to go outside the beard, chest is a stretch for many these days let alone where Dr Umar is willing to go. How many grafts are you trying to get? and how big a region are you hoping to fill? Your best bet may come out of country. Dr Oztan has gotten some good feedback in Turkey, have you looked abroad or are you set on staying home?
