I do want to thank you and Dr. Epstein for all your help.

My only experience with Doctors before this was GPs, and I must say this was the most unstressful, convenient, and ethical experience I have ever had at a Dr's office. I can honestly say this is the only time I have ever felt that a Dr. was looking out for my best interest.

I will be recommending you guys to anyone I know that is looking for a plastic surgeon.

Thanks for checking in.

Everything seems to be following the post op instructions that were given to me. There are still a few spots in the incision harvest site that are a little tender, but that seems to be less and less each day. Your staff was very professional , kind and gentle. I was very nervous and apprehensive about having the procedure, but they made me feel very comfortable and reassured. All and all, I am very pleased so far with the entire procedure. I cant wait until I start to produce growing hair.

Please send my most sincere thanks to Dr Epstein and his staff. I would recommend you to anyone who would ask me.

Thanks again,

I had my hair transplants done on January 8th, and I was just so amazed at how wonderful the experience was. I'm not saying needles to my scalp are a treat, but the kind and genuine care I received was absolutely outstanding.

I'm 25, and I've been losing my hair since I was 14. It was a secret I kept and concealed for over a decade, not even members of my family knew how bad my alopecia progressed. It's effected every area of my life.

Socially, men of my past will tell you that I have problems with intimacy and commitment. And I can't blame them for having that impression of me when I wouldn't even let them stroke my hair, shower with them, or go on vacation with them when I've been invited. The truth is, I would have LOVED to have done those things, but I couldn't because my secret would be revealed. So I have missed out on so many experiences and several potential long-term relationships as a result of my condition. It's left me rather lonely.

My hair loss has even effected my professional life. I was accepted and should have started medical school last year, but I didn't. I knew I couldn't proceed with this next huge step in my life without facing this skeleton in my closet. The last thing I wanted to worry about as a medical student is if my classmates, patients, teachers, or boyfriends can tell that I'm balding. I could have been in my second semester of medical school at this point, but I knew I needed to see Dr. Epstein first. As I told Dr. Epstein, I re-applied for the entering class of 2010, and I got accepted to Howard University, a well-respected medical school. I'm excited to start in the Fall, but quite honestly, I'm even more excited that I'll be 6 months post-op by that time!

I know this is something you all do everyday, but for me January 8th changed my life. Nothing will ever the be same, and I am so glad for that. Because of Dr. Epstein and his wonderful staff, I have been saved from a life of loneliness, secrets, and insecurities... and I can't even begin to explain how free I now feel. It's hard for me to write this without crying my eyes out, but I'm so glad to say that they are tears of happiness.

Thank you improving my life and giving me new opportunities. Dr. Epstein has literally been the answer to my prayers. I'll be sure to send photos and keep in touch....

With all the sincerity I have, thank you.

Warmly,

Hi,

I feel like never before,and want to tell all Dr Epstein staff some words in my language.

Thank you very much!

Estoy muy agradecido, conforme y muy feliz por haber compartido un maravilloso momento con todos ustedes, todo el tiempo analizo mi entorno, y trato de aprender, conocé maravillosas mujeres, profesionales y muy humanas, me llenaron de señales, y valiosos comentarios que tomaré en cuenta, el tener el privilegio de conocer al Dr. Epstein, me hace sentir lo que es la pasión y amor por lo que se construye con un gran talento y dedicación día a día, es un gran ser humano, admiro su manera de trabajar y contar con personas tan valiosas como todos ustedes.

Me siento muy bien, y estoy muy contento con los resultados de su gran trabajo.

Mil gracias por su valioso tiempo.
Estaré en contacto.

Hi Dr. Epstein,

I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to you. You are a rarity these days in the nature of your bedside manner, your sense of humor coupled with your extraordinary expertise. It has been my good fortune to deal with you.

I am almost certain that my son will need your services in a few years as he shares my genes and is just starting to thin a bit - goes without saying you are our man!!

Thanks again for all the good work and your generosity.

Hey Jon,

POST Surgery - 1 wk update:

I am very well... & HAPPY with the outcome. YES, as you can see from these pictures 'actually' taken yesterday (1/27/10), things are looking great. Still have mild yellowish bruising under eyes but makeup does wonders for that...Pinkish in the brows but not noticeable UNLESS I mentioned I had the surgery. The funny part is, when we got home last Thursday, my parents & my in-laws never noticed...I didn't let family know until after the surgery. (Sometimes ignorance causes negativity)! They thought I was only going down there to 'talk' to Dr. Epstein, ha-ha.

Dr. Epstein, You and the rest of the STAFF are truly amazing, caring and talented people. I noticed everyone was so together there and as time went on during my surgery, I felt more and more comfortable. (Enjoyed staff singing 'Ring of Fire' & 'Hotel California' in my ear**accent was great**. This by far has been THE BEST doctor's appointment I have ever had.

I was nervous ONLY bc of the following: Researched thru internet & booked it over the phone back in November, flew in the day of surgery all the way from Jacksonville (hahah) & finally met Dr. Epstein. First time for everything RIGHT!!! What made the decision EASY for me was this: When researching internet websites, Dr. Epstein's stood out from everyone. I loved the fact the pictures could be magnified for close-ups so You felt like YOU were actually looking at the person and NOT viewing it long-distance. Dr. Epstein's visual talent for viewing your facial structure and knowing what looks BEST for YOU is priceless! My personal experience was not uncomfortable or apprehensive. I was made to feel special...Not another number or surgery BUT as someone you truly wanted to help. Its not about the money either. I have time now for focusing MORE on what matters most: hubby, my kids and activities I had long avoided.

I will definitely keep taking pictures, journaling my experience & keeping in touch with you. I sincerely hope my progress and testimony could help someone else that feels the way I USED to feel. My heart is OVERJOYED right now bc I feel like I got my life back, silly as that sounds. I can get ready in no time flat!! I can go without makeup, as Dr. Epstein recommended a 'Southern girl' should do... I'm looking forward to the summer and continued progress....

Sincerely GRATEFUL,

Hello Ed,

Thank you for checking in with me. I am happy to report that my post procedure week has been complication- free! I've had absolutely no problems. The donor site is healing well; my husband and I have a very hard time even finding the site these days!! The recipient site is, I believe, "healed" - it is almost scab-free and of normal color - the erythema has completely resolved !

Needless to say, I am very happy that I chose to come to the "Dr Epstein group" - from initial contact with you, Ed, to meeting the very classy and skillful Dr Epstein and all his "transplant goddesses" - my experience has been excellent!!

Now... the waiting begins... can't wait to see the "finished product"...

I will be in touch with updates!

Thanks again for all your help. I enjoyed meeting you and "putting a face" with the emails.

Warmest regards,

Hello, Sir.

Just wanted to formally thank you for your time and helping me with my hair loss situation. Many things happened to me while in your care. As you know I am currently a student, 2 years into my BS, and not sure what practice to study. My mother is a obgyn, so I figured I would go into that field of study, but after the experience that I had with you, and watching your youtube videos countless times. I almost want to steer into cosmetic surgery. Hopefully you could give me some constructive criticism on this!

Thanks once again for everything, hopefully I have a fantastic result. Im dieing to see a full head of hair again. "rofl"

Dr. Epstein,

Everything is going great at over two years out. Hope everything is going well for you.

Sorry I haven't written more often but the last two years have been pretty hectic and I wanted to give myself time to get used to my new hair.

The transplanted hairs finished thickening and I haven't noticed any changes since around 1 year after the transplant.

I'm constantly amazed by the thickness in the front. It's greater than I ever thought it could be again. I've changed my hairstyle from combing straight forward from the crown to combing to the side like we discussed by fanning out from the temporal angle to cover more of my forehead. I keep the hair in the front > 6 inches long and it grows straight without kinks or split ends... which is awesome! Also, the hair that you put into the left anterior crown covers the rest of the crown really well.

Thanks for everything and hope you are having a great new year,

Thanks for seeing me today and I am thankful for how I look now and know it is because of you and your staff (by the way you can put this in your book of thank you letters.)

Thanks
