John learned what he could on his own and created his web site to share his insight with others. Soon, he began interacting with some of the most prominent hairloss experts in the world. These alliances have led to many of these individuals contributing content to The Regrowth! Network, such as Dr. Richard Lee, Dr. Matt Leavitt, Dr. Peter Proctor, Dr. Steven Cotlar, Dr. Peter Panagotacos, Dr. Adam Lewenberg, and others.

Although he is not a doctor, John has been asked to speak publicly about various hairloss issues at conventions across the country.

The reasons for the growing popularity of the Regrowth! web sites are simple.

1. The Internet is the easiest place to gather and research information on various hairloss treatments and solutions. This is the first step in deciding on a treatment.
2. The internet is a confidential and private way to find out about hairloss and seek a solution. It allows men and women to explore different options and companies/practices without any embarrassment and then contact a company or doctor in person when they are comfortable with them.
3. The Regrowth! web sites provide the most comprehensive and timely information about hairloss issues on the Internet.
4. Mr. John Ertel, president and founder of  The Regrowth Network web sites, has an unparalleled reputation among the Internet and hairloss communities with consumers, doctors, and other hairloss professionals. This highly respected site and his consistent and helpful presence in the alt.baldspot newsgroup serve to foster this reputation.

The Regrowth! Network covers all of the major hairloss conferences, including The American Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, Global Convocation on Hair Restoration, and The American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting, the WAHRS Live Surgical Workshop, the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery, and others.
