Has anyone else had poor experiences with dermatologist?

I have been to a few derms and they barely look at my hair. They dismiss my hair loss and said I’m very early stage, moving on to recommending taking finasteride, or minoxidil. None of them has recommended blood work or any other solution and it seems that despite a lot of work towards regrowth my progress is really slow or barely at all. Has anyone else experienced this and what can I do if I want re growth? Here is a before and after to give you a perspective. Currently taking a few meds as well as topical solutions
