The Clinic Evaluation Checklist Generator creates a personalized checklist based on your specific Norwood stage, graft needs, and treatment preferences. Instead of using a generic list that may not apply to your situation, this tool builds a checklist tailored to your exact case.
How the Checklist Generator Works
The tool takes three inputs and generates a customized evaluation checklist you can bring to every clinic consultation.
Input 1: Your Norwood Stage
Your hair loss stage determines which clinics are qualified to handle your case and which questions are most important to ask.
| Norwood Stage | Grafts Needed | Key Checklist Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Norwood 2 | 800-1,500 | Hairline design precision, technique options |
| Norwood 3 | 1,500-2,200 | Surgeon experience with frontal restoration |
| Norwood 3V | 2,000-2,800 | Crown and frontal coverage planning |
| Norwood 4 | 2,500-3,500 | Session planning, donor capacity assessment |
| Norwood 5 | 3,000-4,500 | Multi-session strategy, donor preservation |
| Norwood 6 | 4,000-6,000 | Maximum graft yield, realistic expectations |
| Norwood 7 | 5,500-7,500 | Donor limits, staged approach planning |

Input 2: Your Preferred Technique
The checklist adjusts based on whether you are considering FUE, FUT, DHI, or are undecided.
FUE-specific checklist items include:
- Punch type and diameter used
- Transection rate for FUE extractions
- Maximum FUE grafts performed in a single session
- Donor shaving requirements and alternatives
FUT-specific checklist items include:
- Strip width and closure technique
- Number of microscopists on the dissection team
- Average scar width at 12 months post-op
- Trichophytic closure availability
DHI-specific checklist items include:
- Number of Choi implanter pens per procedure
- Whether pens are single-use
- Maximum DHI grafts per session
- Team size during implantation phase
Input 3: Your Location or Travel Plans
The generator factors in whether you are evaluating local clinics or considering medical tourism, since the accreditation bodies and verification steps differ by region.
What Your Custom Checklist Includes
Every generated checklist covers five core sections.
Section 1: Surgeon Credentials
- Board certification verification steps specific to the clinic's country
- ISHRS and ABHRS membership verification links
- Minimum procedure volume benchmarks for your Norwood stage
- Questions about the surgeon's personal involvement during the procedure
Section 2: Facility Standards
- Accreditation body relevant to the clinic's location (JCI, AAAHC, CQC, TUV, NABH)
- Sterilization protocol questions
- Operating room equipment checklist
- Emergency protocol verification
Section 3: Treatment Plan Evaluation
- Expected graft range for your Norwood stage (cross-referenced against published data)
- Technique suitability assessment for your case
- Questions to verify the clinic's graft count methodology
- Medication plan discussion points (finasteride, minoxidil, PRP)
Section 4: Cost and Value Assessment
Region-specific cost benchmarks are included so you can compare the clinic's quote against fair market rates:
| Region | Cost Per Graft (2026) |
|---|---|
| Turkey | $1-$2 |
| India | $0.50-$1.50 |
| Europe | $2.50-$4.50 |
| UK | $3-$5 |
| USA | $4-$6 |
The checklist includes line items for what should be included in the quoted price: pre-op assessment, surgery, post-op medications, follow-up appointments, and any revision policy.
Section 5: Post-Op and Follow-Up
- Recovery timeline expectations (FUE: 7-10 days, FUT: 10-14 days)
- Follow-up appointment schedule verification
- Emergency contact availability
- Growth milestone checkpoints (3, 6, and 12 months)
- Medication support plan (finasteride halts loss in 80-90% of patients; minoxidil supports 40-60% regrowth)
How to Use Your Checklist
- Print or save the checklist before each consultation
- Fill in answers during the consultation for each item
- Compare completed checklists across multiple clinics side by side
- Flag any items the clinic could not answer or refused to address
- Score each clinic on completeness and transparency
Use the checklist alongside the complete Norwood scale guide to verify that the clinic's Norwood assessment matches your own research.
Why a Personalized Checklist Beats a Generic One
A Norwood 2 patient evaluating a local FUE clinic needs a completely different set of questions than a Norwood 6 patient planning a medical tourism trip for a combined FUE/FUT procedure. Generic checklists waste your consultation time on irrelevant items and miss critical questions specific to your case.
The Clinic Evaluation Checklist Generator solves this by producing only the questions that matter for your exact situation, ordered by importance and grouped for efficient use during a time-limited consultation.
