In the mid 1990s, I was a hair transplant patient of Puig Medical
Group (PMG). As described in elaborate detail by another VICTIM of
PMG, PMG and its doctors like Dr. Carlos J. Puig were engaged in
INCOMPETENT, UNETHICAL, and ILLEGAL conduct and used high pressure
sales and false advertising to lure unsuspecting clients to become
their patients. For these reasons, Dr. Carlos J. Puig’s license to
practice medicine should have been REVOKED a LONG TIME AGO!!!! Follow

This person (I don’t know who he is so I will call him Mr. X) was kind
enough to post scanned copies of PMG’s 1994 totally deceptive, false,
and fraudulent marketing/sales letters and brochure. PLEASE NOTE: Dr.
Carlos J. Puig was Medical Director of Puig Medical Group (PMG) from
1976 to 1996, and so he CANNOT deny that he was a main member of PMG’s
medical team when this 1994 marketing brochure and cover letter were
sent to potential clients, including me.

In mid 1990s, PMG and its doctors promised to cure my baldness and
give me a “full head of hair” [these words are an exact quote of a
complete LIE from the PMG cover letter, see below] after PMG’s hair
transplants and “Brandy” scalp reduction surgeries. Instead, PMG’s
doctors left my head COMPLETELY SCARRED AND DISFIGURED with only a few
hairs growing that was of VERY LITTLE, if any, cosmetic
significance!!!! PMG’s doctors basically left me looking like a
FREAK!! I have had AT LEAST 10 reconstructive cosmetic surgeries to
reverse what PMG doctors did to me, and to look at least somewhat
normal.

I received the SAME 1994 brochure and letters that Mr. X posted on his
website with the SAME LIES,HARD SELL & FALSE ADVERTISING and DECEPTIVE
LANGUAGE. Please follow the link below for the “cover letter” I
received from Puig Medical Group (PMG):

The letter in the above link is Puig Medical Group’s (PMG) 1994 Cover
letter that I received when I inquired about getting hair transplants
done with PMG. This letter is FILLED with LIES,HARD SELL TACTICS &
FALSE ADVERTISING and DECEPTIVE LANGUAGE.

The most BLATANT and COMPLETELY 100% LIE is when in the cover letter,
PMG promised the potential client that PMG’s hair transplants will
result in a “full head of hair” [2nd line of 2nd para of letter] that
is "virtually non-detectible." [5th bullet in letter] No HALF-
competent hair transplant doctor would ever say this because of the
limited amount of donor hair in the back of the head of a typical
hairloss patient, such as me. But Dr. Puig & PMG were perfectly
willing to say this to MAXIMIZE PMG’s sales and LURE unsuspecting
clients into selecting PMG instead of one of its competitors.

If Dr. Carlos J. Puig was HALF-honest with his patients, he and PMG
would have NEVER claimed to restore a “full head of hair” in PMG’s
cover letter to me and other potential clients!!

Below are the cover page & page 1 (again) from PMG's 1994 brochure
that is FILLED WITH EXTREMELY MISLEADING STATEMENTS & LIES:

The above links are to the Cover Page, & Pages 1 of Puig Medical
Group’s 1994 marketing brochure that is FILLED with MISLEADING
STATEMENTS, UNETHICAL HARD SELL tactics, and OUTRIGHT LIES. Also, page
1 has a large PHOTO of Dr. Carlos J. Puig, PROOF that he was one of
the main perpetrators of the PMG SCAM:

- E.g. OUTRIGHT LIES: “Advances in surgical techniques now allow for
complete and permanent correction of this cosmetic
imperfection.” [Page 1 of PMG booklet] A COMPLETE LIE: even in 2012,
advances in surgical techniques do NOT allow for a complete correction
of baldness (i.e. a “full head of hair” as claimed by PMG”) for most
hairloss patients. The key challenge is limited donor hair in the back
of the head, and any HALF-competent, ethical doctor would know this
and never make this claim (i.e. this 100% LIE) of “complete
correction” made by PMG.
- E.g. of HARD SELL tactics: “Let's face it: baldness suggests
premature aging.” [Page 1 of PMG booklet]. Male pattern baldness is
due to a person having genes programmed to result in hairloss, and
that’s it; baldness has NOTHING to do with premature aging!!

Please follow link below for page 7 of the 1994 booklet that contains
LIES based on what is OMITTED from the text.

-Another E.g. of OUTRIGHT LIES, “Bald Area Reduction … can eliminate a
major portion of the bald area.” [Page 7 of PMG’s 1994 booklet] This
is a LIE because of what is OMITTED from this claim. Bald area
reduction is MAJOR surgery that leaves the head with LARGE SCARS
around the scalp area that is removed. In my case, PMG’s doctors
performed a few “Brandy” scalp reduction procedures that left a HUGE U-
shaped or horse-shoe shaped 8+ inch long and ½ inch thick SCAR from
one TEMPLE to the CROWN and back down to the other TEMPLE on my head!!
More info on scalp reduction surgeries here:

http://www.angelfire.com/indie/hairtransplant/scalp.html

“Brandy” refers to Dr. Dominic Brandy, who was in 1996 SUED and PAID
damages for performing such scalp reduction procedures [link to a news
article about this:

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/514377/HAIR-DOCTOR-HAS-A-BRUSH-WITH-THE-LAW.html

But PMG in its marketing brochure makes NO MENTION of any scarring!!!!
Talk about doctors (PMG doctors like Dr. Carlos J. Puig) who leave out
CRITICAL info needed for a patient to make an informed decision about
the major surgery!!!!

Please follow link below for an insert page from the 1994 PMG booklet
that has more LIES!!

- E.g. of Misleading statement/LIE: “The most natural hairline that
is virtually undetectable...Cosmetically incredible….You will look and
feel the way you hoped to AGAIN!!” [Insert page above of PMG booklet]
In the case of most patients, including me, another COMPLETE LIE. My
hairline was anything BUT natural after PMG’s procedures with a few
hairs growing in different parts of the hairline and the majority of
the front hairline with no hair at all!! With the LIMITED amount of
donor hair and hairloss on the front and crown in many patients, there
is NO WAY there would be enough donor hair for hair transplants to
result in a "full head of hair" with a "virtually undetectable"
hairline!!!! And yet, PMG was perfectly willing to promise "you will
look and feel the way you hoped to AGAIN!!"

So, as Mr. X asked in his review of PMG, “WHY is the Puig Medical
Group creating this false premise in the minds of potential patients?
Because building FALSE HOPES in patients is good for BOOSTING SALES.”
PMG’s doctors like Dr. Carlos J. Puig ONLY cared about SALES, and
patient’s welfare was NOT a main concern. That is why doctors at PMG
(e.g. Dr. Carlos J. Puig) were willing to say ANYTHING, EVEN OUTRIGHT
LIES, to ensure that the potential client would select PMG, and not
one of its competitors, for hair transplants.


NO ONE has to just rely on my review to decide that Dr. Carlos J. Puig
is COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT. Anyone can just read the 1994 cover letters
& marketing brochures of Puig Medical Group itself to come to your own
conclusions.

When you read these documents, you’ll see for yourself the TOTALLY
deceptive practices, false advertising, and outright LIES that PMG’s
doctors engaged in to lure unsuspecting clients.

Please note that I am not the author of Mr. X’s angelfire website on
PMG, but I completely agree with what this person Mr. X says. This
person is another totally INNOCENT VICTIM of PMG and its INCOMPETENT
FRAUD doctors (e.g. Dr. Carlos J. Puig). Dr. Carlos J. Puig’s license
to practice medicine should have been REVOKED a LONG TIME AGO!!!!
