CIT,
It is interesting that you continue your quest to dodge uneffectively every single question that I have simply asked. It would have been smarter to answer some or all of the questions given and it would have been to your advantage to use this opportunity to become transparent. Instead you become irritable and combative. So now I have no choice but to provide some friendly advice and and a very important definition to the term: “CONSISTENCY” in results. Please take out a Mc Pad or Mc Paper, and Mc Pen; sit back and take a closer look at what consistency means.
I think some readers are massively confused about what “consistency” is. A clinic might say, over and over again, ad nauseam, that their results are “consistent.” After all, any clever marketer knows about the hypnotic power of repetition. A clinic might then “prove” consistency by posting results. But since posting an accurate cross-section of results in not advantageous for acquiring business, results are cherry picked. Information is filtered. For example: information regarding the 1.1mm, 1.2mm, and 1.3mm CIT punches. Although a clinic may consistently post good results, this does not mean they create good results consistently. I hope that distinction is crystal clear. After all, photos of small 1000-2000 graft CIT cases (labeled “superior” by the CIT clinic) account for far less than even 5% of total CIT patient population. Therefore, consistency cannot be evaluated by these photos. We the readers see only the small subset of results that clinic is willing to show. This says very little as even an average and inconsistent surgeon has some good results. Certainly this is so for any doctor that has performed 2 million McCIT grafts.
“Consistency” is a marketing word like “superior.”
I would agree that Hasson and Wong, for example, have consistent results though. Here is why:
H and W and their patients posts photos. These are new photos. They are posted all the time on this and other sites. They never repeat posts of the same cases. There are even great cases that will appear on one site and not on the other. The clinic does not seem to feel the need to recycle the same photos across different pages. I imagine the reason for this is that there is a massive backlog of outstanding 4000-5000 graft patient photos. There is never trickery involved in the posts or the photos. There are just results, many of which are posted by the patients, not the clinic. These Hasson and Wong results are never touted as “superior” though. The quality and sheer volume of Hasson and Wong cases is self-evident. This is just one example to illustrate a point
What is more, patient complaints are very rare with Hasson and Wong and many other repeatable clinics. In my experience on and off-line this is not the case with Dr Cole patients. Patients complain about there care. Furthermore, there are many complaints about the results. How many 10,000 graft BHT/CIT cases have disappeared? Dr Umar, who may or may not be a good doc, has many 10,000 graft BHT patients jumping for joy with photos as evidence. Dr Cole’s BHT cases on the other hand disappear. DJ the great repair case also vanished with no final results. So after all this CIT grand standing, we are left with a handful of small 1000-2000 CIT cases. These say nothing of consistancy or superiority.
Given Dr Cole’s inability to speak frankly about any unfavorable aspects of his large punch surgery (even non-propriety aspects) I think it is more than reasonable to question the truthfulness of the CIT marketing campaign. Add to this the multiple vanished 10,000 BHT/CIT cases, DJ’s total disappearing act and the blog about the massive failed CIT Mc mega session and I think we have some huge red flags. This is tip of the iceberg. CIT claimed that any doctor outside his clinic can corroborate the claims about the “superiority” of CIT surgery. To date, not one doctor has.
By the way, I am curious who “CIT” the poster is. Is it Dr Cole himself or a marketing and sales representative.
Also i would like to point out i am more than happy with my fourth HT via strip and i in no way tell anyone to go the strip route.Fue and strip both produce great results and its down to individual needs and suitability.Its you who states your method is far superior and produces better results than everyone else.So please dont accuse /attack my good nature and just answer my questions please,after all thats what the forums are for,patients to ask questions and educate themselves .
Thankyou and please dont mcrib me anymore.
Its good to talk.
