Our Philosophy

There are still a lot of misconceptions about hair transplantation and the results that can be achieved. Gone is the unnatural “pluggy look” that was common place before the mid 1990’s.

Fortunately, surgical hair loss treatments have come on a long way since they were first performed half a century ago. Techniques have been refined and costs have come down, making surgery a much more attractive proposition. It’s also the only permanent hair loss treatment.

The crude hair transplants of yesterday (where hair was ‘planted’ in rows resembling a doll’s hairdo) have been replaced with natural looking hair restoration techniques. To recreate a hair-line Dr. Goertz places only single hair follicular units in the frontal hairline and only the two of you will know that you have had a hair transplant.

Dr. Goertz also understands that most people with significant hair loss would like to have their head of hair restored in as few procedures as possible. He takes pride in offering “mega-sessions” in which he can transplant up to 3000 follicular units in one session, which are about 6900 hairs. In 1990 the average transplant only about 30 to 50 grafts were placed. We have come a long way in this short period of time. The average surgery performed by Dr. Goertz is a mega-session (2000-3000 follicular units approximately 4600-6900 hairs).

The results are impressive. Hair transplantation is not inexpensive but it is affordable and does not depreciate over time. We have kept our pricing affordable so even if you are not rich and famous yet, most working people can still afford our services. It’s worth remembering that it is a one time investment rather than expensive recurring costs as with hair pieces.

A Message from Dr. Brian Goertz - “I am deeply grateful to the pioneers in the field of hair transplantation, whose work has led to the remarkable, natural results achieved in hair transplantation today. If it were not for pioneers, such as Dr. Orentreich who performed the first hair transplant in America in 1952 and others such as Dr. Otar Norwood and Dr. Bluford Stough who followed in the 1960’s and later with the introduction of follicular unit grafting by Dr. Bobby Limmer, we would not be able to offer this treatment today.“
