As one would expect, New York City is home to world class hair restoration clinics.

While visiting NYC, I had the opportunity to visit two absolutely first class hair restoration clinics and see them performing surgery – True and Dorin Medical Group and Bernstein Medical, P.C.

I found it inspiring and energizing to be around these physicians and their staffs as they performed surgeries that were first rate from start to finish.

Dr. Robert Bernstein is a giant in the world of follicular unit hair transplantation. Virtually every patient today who has or will have a follicular unit hair transplant owes a debt of gratitude to Dr. Bob Bernstein.

If there was a pantheon for the “masters of follicular unit hair transplantation” Dr. Bob Bernstein would be the high priest. More than any one single physician he has tirelessly championed the all follicular unit hair transplant procedure that so many patients now benefit from.

It was a true honor to visit him and his clinic. And after spending a full day seeing him and his staff in action, it was very obvious that they truly walk the talk in providing outstanding ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation. View the highlights of this visit to Bernstein Medical, P.C.

Dr. Robert True and Dr. Robert Dorin are well known on this forum for consistently providing patients with excellent ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation and excellent patient education and service.

Those readers who are regulars on the Hair Restoration Research Forum know that the True and Dorin Medical Group have a well known reputation for providing outstanding surgical results. This reputation truly precedes my visit to their clinic. One need only use the “Find” feature on the forum to search their name to find dozens of positive reviews by their patients.

My visit really only confirmed that their reputation for high levels of artistry and cutting edge technique is very well deserved.

Dr. Robert True has been performing hair transplantation exclusively since 1992 and his artistic judgment and technique is masterful. He has also presented at many major international hair restoration meetings and his writings have been widely published.

In 2002 Dr. True brought Dr. Robert Dorin into his practice to mentor him and give him the full benefit of his many years of experience. Dr. True found that Dr. Dorin had a rare and natural aesthetic sensitivity for doing hair restoration surgery.

After extensive hands on training, Dr. Dorin mastered both the aesthetics and technical aspects of performing ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation and was made a managing partner in the practice.

Like his mentor, Dr. Dorin has a reputation for being very upfront with his patients and under promising and over delivering. Together with their large and experienced staff of technicians they are capable of providing patients with large sessions of densely packed ultra refined follicular unit grafts when appropriate for the patient. Their office has over ten graft cutting work stations equipped with microscopes to trim numerous follicular grafts at any one time.

My visit with Dr. Bernstein and his staff September 8th, 2005 -

Dr. Bob Bernstein not only pioneered the concept of follicular unit hair transplantation, including coining the phrase itself, but he has been a tireless advocate for this patient friendly procedure since the mid 1990’s.

For years in the face of opposition and nay saying he debated and presented the logical advantages of follicular unit grafting versus large grafting in well written and articulated articles and presentations.

His advocacy, papers and articles were highly influential in advancing the art and science of follicular unit grafting. Many of these papers are available to both physicians and patients on his excellent in-depth website at Bernstein Medical.com.

In recognition of his many scientific contributions and outstanding patient care he was awarded the prestigious “Platinum Follicle” award by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).

Today Dr. Bernstein truly practices what he preaches. He and his staff have been using microscopes since the mid 1990’s to carefully prepare all follicular unit grafts. He has also continued to perfect and master follicular unit grafting and now performs ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation.

Today Dr. Bernstein uses very tiny instruments to create carefully oriented lateral incisions that maximize a both the naturalness and appearance of fullness that a patient can achieve from a given session. He and his staff take great care to assure that virtually all of the follicle removed from the donor area are not only transplanted but that they grow.
