Professionals committed to perfection

To help assure the very best results, the Foundation has a team of 15 full-time hair assistants, who average working with Dr. Epstein for over 12 years! These assistants that include two nurse practitoners and several registered nurses are professionals committed to perfection, caring, and kind. In our annual patient satisfaction surveys, patients rate their hair transplant experience to be a positive or extremely positive overall experience 97% of the time.

The FHR hair assistants each have specialized roles. Some are graft dissectors, working under the microscope to cut every graft. Some of the most experienced assistants with particular surgical skills are planters, intimately familiar with how Dr. Epstein distributes the one, two, and three hair grafts to achieve the most natural appearance. There is even a team of several assistants who work with Dr. Epstein on his eyebrow and beard transplants, delicate procedures in which Dr. Epstein specializes, all assuring patients the best results.

Unsurpassed Reputation

Outstanding rates of hair regrowth

An overwhelming majority of our patients achieve outstanding rates of hair regrowth. With that said, in the area of medicine results are not fully predictable- this is true in hair transplantation as well. By adhering to the very highest standards, our typical FUE cases achieve hair growth of 90% plus, results that meet if not exceed FUT results and that match or exceed the leaders in this profession. Plus, the tiny dot scars of FUE are undetectable in over 70% of patients even with the head shaved.

We are 100% committed to your complete satisfaction as a patient, which helps to explain our positive feedback, continued growth, and an impressive list of patient referrals with which you may speak.

As part of Dr. Epstein’s teaching, fellows in the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery fellowship programs are able to spend a week at his office learning advanced hair restoration techniques.

Thanks so much! It was really a pleasure and honor to learn from you. I got home safely and just finished cases for the day

Testimonials

Under the guidance of Dr. Epstein and Gorana Kuka, MD, I was able to learn the latest techniques on hair transplant surgery. I wanted a training program that offered not only the surgical but also the business aspects on this arena. During three days of intense and extremely thorough teaching, we covered all the bases on how to conduct a successful practice. Their support staff was also amazing, providing me with years of experience on important details. I found my entire experience to be astounding. I would recommend the Foundation for Hair Restoration Training to everyone that desires to begin or expand their knowledge on hair transplant surgery.
