I had a fist length beard and wore a kufi every day to school my first year. Alhamdulillah, no one said anything to me but I've since trimmed it down for hygiene purposes and so that patients would feel comfortable with me (... it is South Carolina after all). Unless its a written policy, I wouldn't really care much what the "big dogs" say. Most of them are old and old fashioned and are basing their criticism on personal taste rather than professional consideration.
