Reasons to Visit

If you are thinking about your hair loss or contemplating hair transplant surgery, we at Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration feel that it is best for you to be fully informed about the reasons for your hair loss and for you to have a thorough consultation with the doctor before treatment is considered.

Here are several more reasons why you should visit us in our state-of-the-art hair restoration facility in New York City:

1. At Bernstein Medical’s New York City hair restoration center, you will receive a thorough evaluation, an honest assessment of the reasons for your hair loss and your best possible treatment options. Hair replacement surgery will not be recommended unless you are a good candidate for a hair transplantation procedure.
2. For those patients in whom hair replacement surgery is indicated, your procedure will be based upon the pioneering work of Robert M. Bernstein, M.D. Dr. Bernstein developed the procedure of Follicular Transplantation in 1995 and has been a leading innovator in hair loss surgery for more than a decade.
3. Dr. Bernstein personally performs all consultations at Bernstein Medical’s New York hair restoration surgery facility so you will have the best possible understanding of the reasons for hair loss in your case. We have no sales representatives in our office.
4. Dr. Bernstein is renowned for the creation of natural hairlines and undetectable hair transplant results.
5. A Clinical Professor of Dermatology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University in New York, Dr. Bernstein is the world’s most published author on the subjects of follicular unit hair transplantation and follicular unit extraction.
6. Large graft hair transplants were initially developed in NYC in the late 1950′s and, as a result, there is a large population of patients in the New York area who have had a cosmetically unacceptable hair restoration surgery. A significant part of Dr. Bernstein’s practice is devoted to hair transplant repair work – one fifth of all of the patients at Bernstein Medical have been referred here to correct outdated or poorly executed hair transplantation procedures.
7. Dr. Bernstein is equally respected for his honesty and integrity. At Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration, our practice is devoted to caring for patients with hair loss and determining the best possible hair transplantation strategy for each patient.
8. Our hair transplant costs are based upon measurable aspects of the surgical procedure. You will be given written documentation of what is actually done and will pay only for the actual hair loss surgery performed. Go to the Hair Transplant Costs page for our full fee schedule.
9. Our New York facility is conveniently located in mid-town Manhattan on the 11th Floor of the Park 55 Building (110 East 55th Street, New York, NY). It is easily accessible by public transportation and is close to three major airports; Kennedy International, LaGuardia, and Newark International. For more information about how to get here, view the Directions to our New York hair transplant center.
10. Dr. Bernstein has been the recipient of many honors and awards as well as international and domestic recognition. He is the recipient of the “Platinum Follicle Award” for “Outstanding achievement in basic scientific or clinically-related research in hair restoration.” This is the highest honor awarded by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery. In “A History of Dermatologic Surgery in the United States” published in the prestigious journal, Dermatologic Surgery, Dr. Bernstein was cited as one of the three physicians to have played a leading role in Hair Transplantation in the 1980′s and 1990′s. Dr. Bernstein has been among America’s top doctors and has been selected as one of New York Magazine’s “Best Doctors in New York” for ten consecutive years. He is also honored to be the only hair transplant surgeon to be named among the NYC’s “Best Beauty Docs” in New York Magazine for his work performing hair transplantation in NY. Dr. Bernstein has been featured in the media on multiple occasions, including appearances on: The Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Discovery Channel, The Early Show, CBS News, Fox News, and National Public Radio; and he has been mentioned or interviewed by GQ Magazine, Men’s Health, Vogue, and the New York Times.
11. Our reach is global and a significant number of our hair restoration patients come from different parts of the United States and from abroad. We will pay for hotel accommodations in New York or New Jersey and will help arrange transportation for those who live far from our Manhattan hair loss treatment facilities.
12. All members of Bernstein Medical’s clinical hair restoration surgery staff (some of whom have been with Dr. Bernstein for a decade) have been personally trained by Dr. Bernstein and are among the most experienced in the world at performing follicular unit hair transplants. Being involved in follicular unit hair transplant surgery since its inception, we have the most skilled and experienced staff in stereo-microscopic dissection, and in follicular unit graft placing. Those seeking hair transplantation in New York City will find our staff both friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We pride ourselves in being accessible to our patients at all times.
13. At Bernstein Medical in Manhattan we continue to innovate in the field of surgical hair restoration. In addition to practicing and perfecting the techniques that Dr. Bernstein pioneered (and that are routinely used by physicians around the world), we continually incorporate medically and cosmetically successful techniques and technologies that are developed by our colleagues. Our policy of only working with the most optimal techniques ensures that our patients will always receive the best possible hair loss treatment.
14. At Bernstein Medical we work closely with our hair transplant patient’s other health care providers. With your permission, referring physicians will be contacted by letter or by telephone to ensure the continuity of your medical care.
15. The Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration offers an abundance of educational materials on hair loss and hair transplantation so that you will thoroughly understand all aspects of hair loss, the reasons for baldness in your case, and any treatments that are recommended. Patient education is a primary focus in our practice. As part of this educational experience, we have open houses in our NYC Hair Transplant Center so that you may see the results of actual patients and observe live hair restoration surgery.
16. We are always looking for innovative techniques to make our patients more comfortable and make their experience more relaxing and enjoyable. To this end we have recently introduced new techniques for the administration of anesthesia as well as methods to ensure optimal circulation during the hair transplantation surgery. Also, patients can watch television or a DVD of their choice on a large, flat-screen TV to help pass the time.
17. We assist our patients in getting on with their lives after their hair restoration procedure so that the entire process becomes only a minor, short-term inconvenience – and provides lasting benefit.
