Bottom Line Up Front: I had a great experience with hair restoration at Keeps in NYC!Let me tell you why: the Team. Led by Dr. Farhan Contractor, this group of individuals is top-notch and professional all the way. It's not just one person. It's not just the doctor. It's not just "reach us during business hours." There was always a human being on the other end. They were always available for contact, in the evenings and on weekends. They went out of their way to field any question and to provide answers. When I had a hiccup with arranging financing, they took charge and got it fixed. This is a level of service that makes you take notice. I'm so glad I chose Keeps. I would do it again without hesitation. Now a few details. The Keeps office is in a great location. I live out of state, but close enough to drive. If you've never been to NYC, consider coming a day or two before the procedure and enjoying what the city has to offer. If you're short on time, come and spend the night in the complimentary hotel room the Team reserves for you. It is literally right across the street from the Keeps facility. In the morning, wake up, eat a little breakfast, and walk less than 50 yards into the lobby of the building. There you will be met by someone from the Team and taken upstairs. Once there, you'll get an overview of how the day is going to proceed. If you were accompanied on your trip by a family member or friend, you'll be able to provide a phone number and that person will be invited to come in for lunch! Following a few pictures to remember how you "used to look", you'll be taken into the procedure room to meet with Dr. Contractor and the rest of the Team. You'll discuss your new hairline and the definitive plan will be drawn up. Then the procedure begins. After a sedative to help you relax, the injections are given to numb your scalp. They said this would be the most painful portion of the day. I personally experienced virtually no discomfort at all. Some pin pricks; that was it for me. What I enjoyed most was the scalp massager used to disguise them. If you've endured the dreaded dentist's chair, this is 1000 times easier. In fact, in some ways, it felt like my own personal day at the spa. And to think that the result of it would be to eventually have my hair back, what could be better?!I received 2200 grafts. That's apparently a lot. But from the extraction at the donor area to implanting them in my scalp, the virtually pain-free procedure lasted only about 6 hours, and with a lunch that they ordered for me in between! It honestly felt like half that period of time. When it was over, Dr. Contractor and the Team gave me printed-out, easy-to-follow, step-by-step post-op instructions. They provided me with a bag containing everything I needed; no trips to the pharmacy or store. Any concerns I had were taken care of. They treated me like a family member. By mid-afternoon, with my daughter driving, I was in the car for the 3.5 hour drive home. As we got close, I got an email from a member of the Team, asking how I was feeling. Incredible service for their clients! By mid-morning the next day, Dr. Contractor called to check in on me. There are more details I could share to talk about my wonderful FUE experience at Keeps in NYC; if I were to write more, however, you'd probably stop reading. In summary, Dr. Contractor and his Team are clearly experts at what they do, and they take very seriously their commitment to make you look the best they can. If you want the highest quality result you can get with the best service to the client possible (I don't say "customer service" because this is above that), then don't look any further. If you are even curious about a hair restoration procedure, without reservation I encourage you to start the process by consulting with the Keeps Team.
