I begin to notice that my hair was thinning approximately 8 years ago and decided to become proactive and change my hair style to locks to prevent further thinning. About 4 years, I developed an itchy scalp and more thinning along with boils like pimples on my scalp. I saw a dermatologist about my itchy scalp and the thinning. He prescribed oral and cream medications that temporarily help with the itch but did nothing for the thinning.

The itch disappeared for a season and continued to return and became worse. The itch was horrible the first 9 months of 2007, it was constant. I would sometime scratch my scalp raw. Also, the thinning became more noticeable. I had bald spots around the edges and two bald spots about the size of a quarter at the top of my head.

I needed to find the source of my problem instead of a temporary solution. I was referred to Dr. Glenn by a lady who had only attended the symposium in September of 2006. I made an appointment to see Dr. Glenn who performed several tests to determine the root cause to my scalp problem. She was able to properly diagnose my problem and got rid of the constant itch.

She suggested that I cut my locks off because of the irritation. I trimmed them a little. As the scalp problem began to get better, I became very self conscience and embarrassed about my bald spots. That was all I could think about. I would wear my hair up to disguise the bald areas. I felt that everyone could see them. The thinning began to affected me psychologically. All I could think about was how prominence the bald spots would appear if I cut my locks off. Everyone would know that I was losing my hair.

I spoke with Dr. Glenn about my concerns. She helped me to feel comfortable and suggested that I attend her symposium to learn of ways to deal with my problem. I attended the symposium this past September where I learn that my scalp problem and hair loss was not unique. Many women were dealing with the same or similar issues. I also learned that a hair transplant could be an alternative for my problem. I did some research and called Dr. Glenn and Malaya with questions based on my research. They were very helpful and referred me to Dr. Ziering.

I met with Dr. Ziering and Jason who provided information about their procedure and what to expect. My greatest concern was that the hair transplant would look natural and be painless. They answered all of my questions and gave me hope that I was a good candidate for the transplant. They assured me that the area would look natural and the procedure would be painless. Also, I was extremely impressed with photos of the work they had done on other black candidates. They made me feel that they really understood how I felt and that they were really concerned about my problem. I left feeling more encouraged and hopeful that a large part of my embarrassment would be corrected soon. On the day of the transplant, Dr. Ziering and his staff were very patience and explained the process to me again to comfort and reassure me that I had nothing to worry about. The procedure was painless. His staff was warm and friendly. I watched movies, ate, talked and laughed at Dr. Ziering’s jokes. Within several hours it was done. The time passed quickly, it took about 7 to 9 hours for me but it really did not seem that long. I was surprise at the amount of time that had past because I was so comfortable. I was given medications to help with any minor discomforts and swelling during the following week. In January, the third month after the transplant, I cut off my locks and begin to wear my cut hair very shot to reduce any noticeable bald spots. It has been 6 months since the transplants and I do not have any bald spots.

I now feel more confident about my hair and I am very thankful for Dr. Glen and Dr. Ziering and their staff for assisting me through this difficult process and helping my re-gain my self confidence.

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Dr. Ziering and his knowledgeable staff for providing me with a new outlook toward the future. As a young woman, it was difficult for me to contend with hair loss. I started to feel very uncomfortable out in public and even with close friends and family. I did not know how I was going to address my situation. I thought about hairpieces but did not see them as a permanent solution. Then a friend mentioned getting a hair transplant. I thought that hair transplants only addressed male pattern hair loss until I met Dr. Ziering. He took the time to explain hair loss and the corrective actions that can be taken. The decision was painless and simple, and so was the procedure. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

My journey from “bald” to “beautiful” began about 3 year ago, when my confidence level was disappearing along with my hair. Wigs and hairpieces helped but I wanted a permanent solution. Why waste all that hair on the back of my head when it could be moved to where it was needed! Thus the “hair transplant” research began concluding in my decision that Dr. Ziering was the answer to my dilemma! Confidence in his artistry and technique paid off since my transplanted hair looks terrific! In one day he was able to reinstall the hair that had been lost. Even though it sounds trite, my hairdresser is also amazed. He said this is the most dramatic cosmetic procedure he has seen. My only regret is that I waited so long. It has been a wonderful and exciting experience. Thanks to Dr. Ziering and his staff for superb professionalism, you’re the best!

Best Regards,

I finally have my personality back! When I started losing my hair, I avoided mirrors and cameras. My smile was forced and I lost a lot of my sense of humor. I had never realized how important having hair was until I actually lost it and had to look at my self. Now, six months after my transplant my hair looks thicker and when the wind messes it up, I can’t see my white scalp shining through. It’s wonderful to have my confidence back and to be able to wear my hair in different styles again. Dr. Ziering and his wonderful team are marvelous. I thank them with all my heart.

I have suffered from hair loss since I was eighteen years old, went to see Dr. Ziering who was referred to me by my skin-care doctor. Not too excited about a surgical procedure, I hesitated and put off the appointment far too long. Once I brought myself to their office, I was so sorry that I hadn’t been there long before.

I was greeted by Kelly, a very warm and caring lady who spoke with me about preliminary things. She made me feel as though she was there as long I needed to speak. I never felt rushed or felt like there was something else she needed to tend to. She gave me some reassurances and made me feel like she understood my worries. Then, Dr. Phipps came in and gave me all the”real” stuff that I should consider. Her explanations were clear, helpful and she definitely made me more excited about the results. Then came the smiling face of Dr. Ziering and I immediately knew that I was in the right place. After he tousled my hair around and made me laugh a little, we were on our way to paperwork.

Before I could finish, I called my husband and said that he had to take care of his bald spot and that I had found the perfect place. He and I ended up having surgery on the same day. We had so much fun eating lunch together and making fun of each other’s “footies”. It’s something we will never forget.

The staff was attentive and friendly, there was no discomfort and there was never a dull moment with movies, music and just visiting with the staff. The day seemed to pass very quickly and we were on our way. Then we just sat and waited for our hair to grow in…together. I love my life!!!

I hope anyone reading this will definitely consider the Ziering Medical group. I wouldn’t consider any other facility.

Thank you to my “new” best friends.

I wanted to send a note of thanks to you all for a wonderful, pain free graft day last Wed Sept 17. My grafts are doing great and I have had no ill effects at all. I am so in awe of the wonderful working relationships you all have with one another. You are always laughing and no matter how early in the day, always in top form. What a wonderful working environment and I know that it makes Dr. Z feel great to be around that kind of atmosphere to work also. My thanks go first to Dr. Z who is the best in the world at what he does.

I want to give the highest regards to Carl Cohen who organized and takes care of getting me inside the door. I also want to thank Jeanine and Alicia for all their help.

I want to give a HUGE thank you to the great crew of Jane, Erika S., Nune P., Grace C., Liz, Cynthia, Connie, Raquel, Joy, Erika R., and Nune B. You are all wonderful people and make coming in for a hair restoration procedure an exciting adventure. Thank YOU ALL.

My daughter began losing much of her hair due to illness. She was in high school, so needless to say, it was an extremely difficult time. After a few years, her health was restored and her hair started to grow back. She wanted it thicker, so we went to Dr. Ziering. He was honest and not anxious to perform the procedure before recommending alternative treatments which were much less expensive.

After treatment for about 6 months, she improved dramatically. Dr. Ziering did not believe that she needed transplants. He told her that he would do the transplants if she wanted, but she was beautiful without them. He was encouraging and he really helped her without surgery.

One and a half years ago I had my first surgery with Dr Ziering. I was very scared. I was extremely surprised how easy it was. Now, I am super happy because my hair looks so much better now than it did before the surgery. My goal was to have hair like a lion! I love Dr Ziering and his staff! After many years of looking, I found the best!

I started losing my hair at 19. It was very distressing as I always had full, long hair and it was a way of expressing myself creatively. My experience with the Ziering Medical staff and surgeon has been a welcome relief. All were very warm, pleasant, helpful and professional. There’s still not much said or talked about genetic female hair loss especially at a young age. It has affected my self esteem and I have been made to feel guilty in the past. Knowledge is most definitely power and in my case ignorance played a major part in the horrible condition of my hair. After ten years of facing female hair loss, the decision to have restoration surgery has given me hope and a better perspective on my future. I’m hopeful my hair will grow again and in the process learning to take better care of my hair and seek different simple ways to style my hair. If able to, I would have hair restoration surgery again. Out of this experience, I’ve learned not to feel so alone. Coming here has made me realize that I’m not the only one going through this and it makes me feel not as bad. I’m now excited about entering my thirties with more confidence and thrilled about the possibilities.

I came into your office not knowing exactly what to expect. I had scheduled approximately 1,200-1,400 grafts, and I thought that this might be enough to cover the back area of my head. My greatest concern was that the hair transplant would look completely natural and undetectable. After meeting with Dr. Ziering and discussing what could be done, I was immediately impressed with the professional yet comfortable atmosphere both he and the staff provided. All of my questions were answered and away we went. I was very impressed with the amount of time that was taken paying special attention to every last detail. They made me feel like I was not just another transplant patient, as they were truly concerned about my results and me. I feel like a new person! Thank you for being so professional and personal. I highly recommend Dr. Ziering to anyone considering a hair transplant.

My hair started to fall out when I was very young – at 18. By the time I was in my 30’s it was noticeable and painful. I lived with the emotional pain and continued losing hair into my 50’s. One day my daughter told me about Dr. Ziering and the hair transplant procedure, and I ended up having two procedures. It completely changed my life. I feel like I have been reborn. I can actually style my hair instead of trying to do a “cover up”.

Dr. Ziering and his staff couldn’t have been nicer, and I am eternally grateful for this “gift”. Every time I see Dr. Ziering, I thank him, as my eyes well up with tears. I can’t express in words how this has changed my life for the better.

A few years after menopause, I started noticing a thinning of my hair on the front and crown. At first, I did not pay much attention but as time went on I noticed more thinning, and I was having trouble styling my hair to cover my scalp. I felt very self-conscious, and I felt it made me look much older. After doing a great deal of research into possible remedies, I decided that hair grafting was the only option I would find satisfactory. I looked at many different hair restoration doctors, but after coming to Ziering Medical I decided immediately that this is where I wanted to go for grafting. Dr. Ziering and his staff are sensitive, highly professional and had the experience I sought

My experience was pleasant, and I am thrilled with the results. I now have thick, full hair, and I feel confidant once again. I am a chemist who works in the personal care industry. Now, I don’t feel embarrassed when I meet new clients. It looks natural – no one would ever know that I had a hair restoration surgery. I would do this again in a heartbeat. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you!

I had my hair transplant done by Dr. Ziering in August 2004. My hair had been thinning over the last 5-7 years or so, and I had a golf ball size spot in the front of my hair (at my bang line). I was so self-conscious of it, and it was becoming more and more difficult to hide with hair styles. I was delighted to meet Dr. Ziering and learn I was a candidate for transplant. The procedure itself was a piece of cake, and a very relaxing day all in all. I watched three movies, took a nap, had lunch and chatted with the very friendly staff. I had no pain at all. The post-op period was a little more challenging, but very doable. I am SO glad I had the transplant done, and feel so much better about myself now. I can’t thank Dr. Ziering and his staff enough. They are a great group of people and make the whole procedure easy. You can email me if you’d like to chat more about the procedure. We can also exchange phone number at that time. Good luck, and just do it!! You will love it!

Dr. Phipps, Lee and Staff,

Just a quick note to let you know how happy I am with the way I was treated during the procedure last Monday. Your entire staff was professional yet not stuffy. Everyone was kind and caring. The cleanliness of the procedure room was most impressive. I was never nervous or hesitant about a thing.

Please know that you’re welcome to have your prospective clients contact me if they have any questions or hesitations about the procedure, your facility or just want a reference.
Again thanks.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ziering and I’m so satisfied with the result. The team was great and their goal was to make sure you are comfortable. I thought it will be a very painful procedure but I actually went shopping right after I’m done with minimal pain!
I recommend Dr. Ziering to many of my friends in Qatar and my cousin is planning on getting a transplant procedure after he saw my result.

I began noticing a significant hair loss about a year ago. I was losing a lot hair when I washed my hair and found a lot of hair in the drain after rinsing. I also found hair on the floor after brushing and blow –drying my hair. There were some spots that were actually bald and I was afraid I was going to continue losing all of my hair. I was panic stricken and began to look for help. I found an article about the Ziering Medical Clinic and I immediately called for an appointment. The staff at the clinic was extremely kind and sympathetic. We discussed laser treatment which could expand the hair shaft and possibly fill in the bald spots and stop the hair loss. I was a little skeptical but was anxious to try whatever was available to help my condition.

After almost a year of laser treatment my hair loss has discontinued. My bald spots have filled in and my hair feels fuller and thicker and looks normal again. I am very thankful that I found Ziering Medical and cannot express my gratitude enough for the care that I received and the restoration of my hair to its nearly previous state. I will continue with the treatments to ensure the growth and health of my scalp and hair. I wouldn’t hesitate about doing the laser treatment again. Thank you Ziering Medical. After a year of laser treatment my hair is fuller and thicker. I look forward to continuing with the treatments to ensure the growth and health of my hair and scalp.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thanks to you I can greet the world with self-confidence once again!
