Spencer Kobren is the leading critic and interviewer where hair loss and associated medical and paramedical specialists are concerned. With his candid interviews and articles, he creates clarity for both consumers and professionals. On June 14, 2011, he held an interview of over 35 minutes with Coen Gho MD, during which he put the questions to him that both specialists and the public are also asking.

He’s one of the giants of cycling in the Netherlands: Gert-Jan Theunisse. Since Gert-Jan won the title of “King of the Mountain” in the 1989 Tour de France, no other Dutchman has worn the polka dot jersey on the podium in Paris. With his long, flowing mane, he was easy to spot in the pack. But natural hair loss decimated Gert-Jan’s trademark to such an extent that he decided that something had to be done.
