If you think about your hair restoraton this butchery must be the last place you think of it. They charged me $4500 and promised me the best hair restoration in the market but they destroyed my back head with 1mm painful punches Which makes the permanent scars for ever and they didn't tell me anything about it). They told me doctor boland will be my surgeon but he left the office and one unfriendly and scary assistant Catherine) did this mess. They are all thieves and butchers. Look at my head and if you want to be miserable until end of your life just go there. I'm trying to find a lawyer and go after them. That day was my worse and scariest day in my life .I tried to be cool but time passes and i feel everyday more miserable than yesterday. Many unpleasant and illegal things happend in that very day which i want to explain only to my lawyer but if you are thinking about hair restoation by going there,please only look at my pictures and think again.
I had a previous scar reduction with Dr Ray at this clinic and was incredibly happy.
I emailed Chris McTyre and schedule another visit only with Dr Ray. Chris McTyre agreed assured me Dr. Ray would be doing the procedure.
Day of the surgurey, while I was under valium medication and my head numb. Chris McTyre said Dr. Ray was not going to be here, he was let go a while ago, but Dr Rays former assistant would do the scar reduction.
I now have a scar 5x larger then when I came in.
I reached out to other component doctors and they told me that it was a incredibly large scar, and it would take several procedures to possibly undo it. About 5k
Spoke with the clinic and ask for compensation to help with this procedure. They refused, said I would have to sue the doctor who gave me this scar. I replied I didn't choose the doctor, that the clinic switched out the doctor last minute and I would never have agreed to do the surgurey had I known Dr Ray was not going to be there.
Chris McTyree said I could come back and get another scar reduction for free with the same doctor who gave me this 5x larger scar. That is completely ridicious. Why would I agree to the same doctor buthering my head twice?
In additonal to compensation to get the scar repaired, I also ask Chris McTyre to for a full refund from the clinic.
I never would have agreed to this procedure if Dr Ray was not going to be there. This Clinic new full well Dr Ray was not going to be there, and waiting till I was medicated to tell me. This scar is the direct result of a inexperienced person who I never agreed to work with.
Two years ago i decided to have my second hair transplantation and found cschi online. They said that they had more than 20 years of hair restoration experience and they offered a considerable low price ($2/graft). Mr. Chris mctyre Owner) told me that my satisfaction was guaranteed. After i talked with mr. Chris mctyre, i paid the deposit and made an appointment on june 2, 2012.
When i reached the clinic in the morning, mr. Chris mctyre was not there and a nurse welcomed me. Since the doctor was not there yet, i had more time to chat with the nurses. One of the nurses told me that dr. Gerald searle would do the operation for me. He was the most experienced surgeon at this clinic They had two surgeons at that time) and he had 1.5 years of hair restoration experience. What?! their most experienced surgeon only has 1.5 years of experience? Then, why did they say that they have more than 20 years of hair restoration experience on their website? Since then i doubt if i made a good choice to visit this clinic and i was considering if i could get my money back if i quit the operation.
After dr. Gerald searle arrived, he checked my head and explained the operation to me. I asked him if he can do a good operation and leave smaller scars than my previous operation. I told him that i want to quit if he can’t guarantee his work. He said: sure, absolutely! i guarantee it.
My doubt was clearly evidenced by what happened next. After dr. Gerald searle cut the strip out from my back side, he had a huge trouble to close the gap. I clearly heard the sound of the thread stripping the skin when he tried to tight the thread. He told the nurse that he needed to add more stitches. I am not sure how many more stitches he added for my operation. I noticed that he tried to cut more tissues out and tight the threads again and again in order to close the gap. Finally he took more than two hours to finish the operation. They cleaned the blood many times. I knew my donor area was completely messed up. During my previous operation at another clinic, the doctor only took a few minutes to cut the strip out and closed the gap.
I don’t need to mention that i had to suffer a lot and clean the blood many times on the back side of my head at the night after the operation. In the next morning a nurse insisted on washing my head, both the donor areas and recipient areas I really don’t understand why they did this). But the nurse tried to avoid touching the big area which was messed up. After head washing, i noticed there were several grafts of hairs on my face. It was disgusting and i grabbed them away. After i went to home and checked my head again, i noticed more fallen grafts of hairs.
My donor areas kept bleeding and discharging something in the following two months after the operation. The amount was reduced gradually. But i could see some blood/discharge clearly from the towel on my pillow. The healing process was so slow because the gap along the donor area was not closed well. In fact, i believe that the gap in some areas was not closed at all because i saw some very thick scabs dropping off from those areas later. Two weeks after the operation, i went to a local hospital to have the sutures removed. Two female nurses tried to get the sutures out. But they all quit. Finally, they found the most experienced male nurse to finish the job. It took two hours for him to get all the sutures out. After the work, he shook his head and told me that some threads were buried deep in the blood scabs and it was hard for him to find all the threads and get all of them out. The surgeon did a very poor operation.
After the operation, the donor areas formed a deep trench on my head. I can clearly feel it when i stroke my hairs from the top to the bottom. The donor areas also began to lose hairs. The situation became worse and worse. The area which was seriously messed up by the surgeon lost almost all hairs and became bare. The diameter is more than 2.5 inches. Everyone around me noticed it and kept asking me what was going on. It is so embarrassing for me to explain what happened to everyone again and again. I have to leave long hairs in order to cover this area as much as possible. I frequently wear a deep hat to cover this area. After the operation, i often suffer from serious headaches and i believe my headaches are related to the operation.
One year after the operation, i began to think about correction on the donor area. When i talked with two surgeons who have 20+ years of hair restoration experience, they all told me that they never saw such big scars in their whole lives and the clinic who did such an operation should definitely take all the responsibility.
But so far i didn’t get even one cent compensation from their malpractice. What did their “gold standard” service give to me? I didn’t have any obvious improvements on the recipient area even one year after the operation. But they ruined my donor area and i suffer from everlasting embarrassments and headaches. This is what their “gold standard” service gave me! did they guarantee anything?
I am a 100% real person. If you need more information about my story or want to give me some suggestions, please send me a message. If any attorney wants to help me sue this company, please contact me.

I had gone to Colorado Surgical Center & Hair Institute back in 2012 for a hair procedure that involved 2,000 grafts being transplanted. Other than the surgery being 100% unsuccessful, the one thing that I had hoped for was "no scar" from the donor site on the back of my head (as Chris Mctyre promised). I was as patient as I could be, waiting several years for any and all possibility of the procedure to successfully heal. I returned for a consultation this year, to go over my concerns. Chris suggested we "re-do" the surgery free of charge, he also tried convincing me to add an additional 500 grafts (in which I would pay for). While I figured this would be an opportunity to "fix" my scar as he said they could, I jumped at the opportunity and put my name down for an appointment at the very last day of May. I called CSHI several times in the past weeks and received no answer. I left a voicemail on my very first attempt to call them. After no response for a few days, I called again, only this time the voicemail said the users mailbox was full. Again, a few more days go by and no response. Until finally Chris answers one of my calls. I explain to him that we had met months ago and he had put me down for a procedure on May 31st (I believe that was the date), he said that he would send me my procedure confirmation info once we got off the phone, to my email. With no surprise, this was on Thursday last week and NO EMAIL. This is a pretty intimidating procedure to live through again.. With a rough recovery on the back of your head. I honestly don't feel too safe or comfortable with a company that lacks the professionalism that every patient deserves in the weeks leading up to this type of procedure. Ultimately I would just like a refund from the original failed procedure. I can then look into having my scar assessed by aother medical professional. I just don't feel any security/ comfort going through with another hack job on my head, when the facility can't even communicate in a semi-professional manner. A full refund off 2,000 grafts at $2 a graft is what I expect after this failed experience.
Once again, we perform surgery every day, our competitors do not. Sometimes there close for one, or two months at a time. I don't know how you keep a Doctor and his/her team sharp with so many gaps between performing surgery. On the surgical end what makes us different, we perform the Triophytic closure in the donor site that leaves an undetectable scar, we're the only clinic that makes lateral slit incisions for the recipient sites so the hair grows back lying down naturally. Everyone else uses needles so the result is that the hair grows straight up. And we offer weekly free cool touch laser treatments that help the hair to start regrowth in 30 days rather than 90 days. And when it comes to customer service, our staff is the best. Read all the great reviews on our web site.
If your looking to have your hair restored permanently, you'll find that our quality, price, and service are second to none. We've performed thousands of hair transplants on athletes, musicians, actors, and mostly on just everyday folks like you and me. Visit our web site, or just come on in and see for yourself.
I'm Jim Boland, M.D. The Medical Director of The Colorado Surgical Center & Hair Institute. From my early days as an Air Force surgeon, I've always known I wanted to do something artistic in the field of medicine, and that burning desire was to do hair restoration. I'm very fortunate to be able to perform this service everyday, as each day is a new artistic adventure. Thanks to all of our patients, and future patients who give us our A+ rating with the BBB, for our great service and results."
At Colorado Surgical Center & Hair Institute we pride ourselves in using the highest quality SERVICE.
Not only do we have the expert surgical techniques from Dr. Boland, and Dr. Gottesfeld. But our head Surgical Assistant is Dr. Zahif Hayat, a general surgeon. Chris McTyre a Surgical Assistant since 1992 with the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons, Catherine Kerschen, also a Surgical Assistant with the International Society of Hair Restorations, and trained in Arizona. And two Graft cutters extrodanaire, Chona and Tristalynn.
