Hair Restoration Patients from Outside the New York Area

Whether you come from Connecticut, New Jersey, or Florida; the UK, India, United Arab Emirates, or Brazil; the Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration in New York City makes it easy for men and women with hair loss to take the first step towards restoring their hair. We do this by making it easy to obtain a comprehensive hair loss evaluation with Dr. Bernstein no matter the distance.

For those persons living in proximity to New York City, most major towns and cities in the surrounding area have convenient public transplantation that is readily available.

For those a bit further away — or on the other side of the planet — we have developed an online photo consultation form that will allow us to evaluate your hair loss through pictures that you submit. While you will still need to visit our New York City facility for the actual procedure, a photo consultation will help determine whether a hair transplant is recommended for your case.

In your consultation with Dr. Bernstein — whether in-person or via the internet — you will learn about the causes of your hair loss and how best to treat it using hair transplantation, medical therapies, or a combination of treatments.

One-on-One Hair Loss Evaluation
Dr. Bernstein takes great pride in conducting a comprehensive patient evaluation and analysis before suggesting any treatment. In working with Dr. Bernstein on a one-on-one basis, you will see that you are in good hands and that your hair loss treatment will be designed to be as effective as possible for your hair loss case.

For those who are able to travel to New York City for an evaluation, simply fill out and submit our online physician consultation form to schedule an appointment in our state-of-the-art facility.

Hair Transplant Consultation from Abroad?
Although nothing replaces a one-on-one consultation, we understand that patients may not be able to travel to Manhattan to visit Dr. Bernstein for an initial consultation. For this reason we offer a photo consultation feature on our website. By downloading some basic information and submitting photos of your hair loss, you can have a preliminary consultation with Dr. Bernstein without ever leaving your home.

You are also welcome to mail your photos to:

Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration
110 East 55th Street, 11th Floor,
New York, NY 10022

All photos consultations are done by the doctor, just as in our office practice. The doctor will assess your candidacy for surgical hair restoration or repair procedures. We do not have medical consultants or salespeople on our staff.

If you are going to be traveling to the New York area, an in-person consultation in our NY office would be preferable over a photo consultation.

Scheduling a Hair Transplant Procedure
Once Dr. Bernstein has recommended a hair transplant procedure, you are welcome to schedule the surgery with him by calling 212-826-2400 or e-mailing us at contact@bernsteinmedical.com. The availability of surgical dates is determined, in part, by the size and type of your procedure. Dr. Bernstein will give you a general assessment through your photo or in-person consultation. Generally procedures are booked between two weeks to two months in advance. Our staff will do their best to accommodate your schedule.

We do ask that patients who schedule hair transplantation procedures or corrective work following a phone or photo consultation make an appointment to see Dr. Bernstein for an in-person consultation at least one day prior to the scheduled date of your procedure. This will allow the doctor to do a more precise assessment of the number of grafts to transplant or, with corrective hair transplants, to determine the extent of the repair work necessary.

All of our patients are required to have laboratory tests prior to surgery. We can provide you with a lab prescription so that you can have the tests run at your local doctor’s office or laboratory. The results can then be faxed to our office at 212-826-6200.

We will provide you with a list of New York area hotels and New Jersey area hotels as well as directions to our office. The hotels listed are non-solicited and the hotel/mode of transportation is at your discretion and preference.

Traveling Home After Your Procedure
While you will be physically able to travel immediately following your procedure, you will not be allowed to drive yourself that same day. We do not recommend that you fly, either. The reason for these recommendations is because the day immediately following your procedure you will be asked to wash your hair 4 times. By the second day after your procedure you will only need to shower twice a day, making traveling easier. See the Post-op Instructions page for detailed information on post-operative care.

Follow-up After Your Hair Restoration Procedure
Although it is not required that you return to our office following your hair transplant, we will remain in contact. We will call you the day after your hair restoration procedure and you are encouraged to contact us if you have any post-operative questions. We would like to see your hair transplant results one full year after the surgery, so mark your calendars!
