Thanks for sharing your comments and questions. Since this thread seems to have generated a renewed interest in my original posting, I have added pics and additional details there.

To some, my effusive praise of Dr. Epstein may seem inflated and excessive. However, Dr. Epstein provided me with hope, improved possibilities, and more importantly, positive results, at a time when despair, false promises, and terrible outcomes were all I had known and experienced from my (6) prior HTs with a local, well-credentialed, highly-regarded, board-certified facial plastic surgeon in my area. Unfortunately, HTs were not a specialty of his practice, and having had some other very successful work done by this surgeon in other areas, I just assumed the same great results from my HTs with him. Undoubtedly, in hindsight, and with the wisdom of my current knowledge and experience with Dr. Epstein, I forever realize the naive error of my ways and the grave mistake I made in having HTs done with a surgeon who had so few representative pictures and patients available to affirm his expertise in this area. So, in my stupidity, I continued my HTs with this surgeon for (6) straight summers. And year-by-year the donor area grew more scarred and barren of native hair. What's more, I really wasn't that satisfied with the overall results of these many HTs either. My hair loss problem has always been one of diffuse thinning instead of actual balding, but the lack of evident density after so many procedures was truly disheartening. And by now, I had grown extremely self-conscious of a donor area that looked far worse than I ever anticipated. So, it was with great anxiety, fear, and desperation that I finally awoke to the need of finding a HT surgeon who could make better use of my fast-depleting donor hair and would be able to perform some kind of miracle that would somehow return my extensively scarred donor area back to a reasonable state of normalcy. I didn't care how far I had to travel to find my savior. Enter Miami's Dr. Jeffrey Epstein. After many months of research, reading, chats, discussions, and consultations, I decided he alone was best qualified to achieve what I desired to accomplish. And this time I chose a winner. After (3) procedures and approximately 2,000+ grafts with Dr. Jeff, the reparative work on my original donor site scarring has vastly improved the appearance of this area, and the level of density Dr. Epstein has currently achieved in improving my diffuse thinning has been a major upgrade. And in the months ahead, I shall eagerly await the further anticipated results of the third procedure I had with Dr. Epstein this past May 29th. After so many wasted procedures, I realize I am undoubtedly approaching the limits of improvement with what remains of my donor supply. However, in Dr. Epstein's hands, I remain very confident as to what can still be accomplished with the skill and expertise of his most capable medical artistry.

Earlier this week, my local dermatologist removed the sutures from a HT procedure I had with Miami's Dr. Jeffrey Epstein at his Foundation for Hair Restoration on May 29th. During this process, my dermatologist consistently marveled at what he called, "the almost imperceptible seam" of the sutured donor site incision area as he removed the sutures. He was amazed at how "trauma-free" the area appeared in just under two week's time. Needless to say, by the time he finished, these perpetual comments of praise for Dr. Jeff's skill and artistry left me feeling very positive about the eventual "no-tell" final outcome of my third, consecutive, annual HT with Dr. Epstein. Like a lot of us, I enjoy the "low-maintenance" styling of the "buzzed" look, so I'm always wary of possible "see-through" scarring with the ?? inch length I wear my hair. However, after listening to my dermatologist, I feel confident I need not worry about visible scarring unless the donor site begins to stretch. Because when I asked about improving/hastening the healing and redness of my donor site incision/scar with a daily dosing regimen of Neosporin and Mederma, my dermatologist laughed and said the area was healing so well, I probably wouldn't be able to see enough scar to apply anything to within a few weeks and advised me not to waste my money. As brethrens in the quest for more hair and less noticeable HT's, you can all surmise how great these words made me feel as I now await the desired results of what will hopefully be another successful HT. As always, Dr. Jeff and his wonderful staff made my HT trip to Miami seem more vacation than medical mission. Roxy, the elite model of medical office managers, makes scheduling effortlessly easy and always convenient. And like the two summers before, I again was pampered with attention from the moment I arrived for my procedure. My every need and concern was addressed with the highest degree of caring, compassion, and expertise. Always friendly and very professional, this talented staff takes great care of you. And Dr. Epstein is simply the best. His training and credentials are exceptional. Yet, he is so easy to talk with. A consult with Dr. Jeff feels more like conversation with a well-known friend. You can feel his passion for perfection and his dedication to your satisfaction and success the moment he greets you and begins discussing your current procedural plan with you. And he really listens to what you have to say as well. He's devoted to ensuring you receive the best HT possible, whatever it takes. All three of my procedures with Dr. Jeff have netted substantially more grafts than were initially anticipated. But Dr. Epstein has never made a request for additional fees from me or ever attempted to limit his graft harvests to the agreed upon number and fee when more have been available for use. To me, this speaks volumes about where Dr. Jeff's heart truly lies. It's with each and every one of us fortunate enough to have him for our HT physician. Thank you, Dr. Jeff, I feel very lucky indeed. You're the greatest!

In my quest for better hair, I have had numerous transplant procedures done throughout the years to improve my diffuse thinning. Even though my local hair transplant surgeon had all the proper board certifications, the results never measured up to our discussed expectations. Feeling frustrated and fearing my rapidly diminishing supply of donor hair, I decided it was time to execute a world-wide search to find the best qualified, most respected hair transplant surgeon currently available to help me achieve my goal of growing a fuller, thicker head of hair. I spent many months researching the acclaimed hair loss websites and forums. In doing so, I discovered a select listing of doctors frequently mentioned as being the most reputable, respected, and skilled hair transplant surgeons practicing anywhere in the world today. But among that esteemed grouping, one doctor's name always seemed to be at the forefront of recommendation. That doctor is Miami's Dr. Jeffrey S. Epstein of Foundation for Hair Restoration. Dr. Epstein's credentials are impeccable. My further research revealed a hair transplant surgeon whose education, training, certifications, publishings, and vanguard leadership in contemporary hair restoration make him a very venerated hair transplant surgeon always in high demand among patients, peers, and media. I have just finished my second summer procedure with Dr. Jeff. In just two sessions of almost 1,300 FUGs, I have experienced better coverage, density, and reduced donor-site scarring than in all my other procedures combined. Be assured, Dr. Epstein is the best hair restoration surgeon you can choose and decidedly deserves his vaunted reputation. From initial consultation to final good-bye, you will receive nothing less than stellar treatment and considerations from Dr. Jeff and his staff. Everyone at Foundation for Hair Restoration is professional, friendly, and attentive to your every need and concern. They are simply awesome. In my opinion, the only wrong choice you could make with Dr. Epstein is not choosing him to do your hair restoration. Location may be everything in most business endeavors, but when the personal business at hand is taking advantage of the best opportunity to improve the look of your hair, pack the suitcase and make the travel plans. Unless you live in Miami, choosing a local hair transplant surgeon may prove more convenient, but the quality of the procedural outcome may also prove less successful and personally satisfying. You can't do better than the best. That's why I chose Dr. Epstein for my hair restoration. And if you're unwilling to settle for anything less than the best, you should too.
