Welcome New Patients

Congratulations – you’ve decided to take control of your hair loss at one of the top hair restoration practices in the U.S. We are delighted that you’ve chosen California Hair MD for your hair restoration. As a new patient, you’re welcome at our practice.

Dr. Chaffoo, Dr. Stuart and our entire team of hair restoration specialists look forward to helping you restore your hairline and self-confidence with our advanced hair transplantation techniques. Reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. As a boutique hair restoration practice, we are readily available for our patients.

Starting a new journey often feels intimidating. This guide will teach you more about California Hair MD and what to expect as you prepare for your hair restoration with us.

Ideal Candidate

Hair loss can be distressing – like losing a piece of your identity. While hair loss is inevitable for many men and women, hair restoration treatments can be highly effective. There are surgical and non-surgical interventions available, making hair restoration a possibility for most of our patients. If you’re interested in hair restoration, you are probably a good candidate for treatment.

Hair restoration is most effective when patients commit to the process and have realistic expectations. Our team can help you understand what to expect at every step of the journey from the initial consultation to your fuller head of hair.

You may be a good candidate for hair restoration at California Hair MD if:

  • You are experiencing mild, moderate, or advanced hair thinning or loss
  • You want to look younger and have a fuller head of hair
  • You are experiencing male pattern baldness
  • You are in good overall health, with any chronic medical conditions well-controlled

A consultation can help you determine if you’re a good candidate for non-surgical treatments or a hair transplant.
