I would travel to see someone, if someone thought she/he were really, really knowledgeable and could guide me to the best treatment for my Alopecia Areata or FPHL (or hormonal hair loss? I really don't know). Or maybe no doctor really knows?? Thanks for any recommendations!
I don't know that I would *highly* recommend my trichologist, but she is decent, knowledgeable, is very responsive to emails, and has helped me. My only complaint about her is that she's a bit cold re: the anxiety and fear that goes with hair loss (but I suppose thats what therapists are for). Not sure if you're in the area or willing to travel, but her name is Dr. Carolyn Goh, and shes part of the UCLA health network.
Are there any specialists in the U.S. that anyone would *highly* recommend? Someone knowledgeable about women's hormone process, perimenopause, thyroid, ALL available medications for hair growth, etc (I guess, ideally, an endocrinologist or dermatologist (which is better??) who knows hair)? I feel like I need to start something, but I'm not sure what to use, and I'd love to see someone whose opinion I really value.
