In earlier comments (2020-2021) he mentioned 2,600 FUT grafts booked for November 2020, after being quoted $8,500 all-in for 2,000 FUT grafts, and said he was still happy a year on; the rows do not reconcile the differing graft counts. He said "Dr Alexander is great!", that the result looks truly natural, and that the procedure involved some pain but was tolerable.

beastwood9498 had 2,500 grafts with Dr. Scott Alexander in Phoenix, paying 10k USD; the posts place it roughly 8 to 12 months before 2025 comments and give no exact date. He says Dr. Alexander made every incision while his technicians placed the grafts. His experience was mixed: he called it a success with strong density in places and said he did not think you will go wrong with him, but he had pain control problems (no IV sedation, lidocaine that did not work well) and an old facility. In a separate comment he says it would have been a better experience in Turkey with results no worse, and calls his hairline wack.

Posting the same day as the operation, he was 'Very happy with the surgeon and the experience,' valuing that Dr. Alexander 'did almost the entire procedure himself and was always present managing his staff when he wasn't doing it himself.' He noted the immediate result 'looks a puffy uneven mess,' though he said it looked great while Dr. Alexander was working on it.
