Choosing a Hair Transplant Surgeon
Outstanding hair restoration results come from the most experienced doctors. Your hair transplant surgeon’s skill will directly determine your outcome. If you want natural-looking results and a full, healthy head of hair, choose your hair transplant surgeon carefully.
Hair transplantation is a skill that requires extensive training and practice to master. Follicle extraction, preparation, placement, and positioning methods impact the transferred hair’s survivability and your procedure’s aesthetic results.
If you’re in Southern California or able to travel to us, come to California Hair MD for your hair restoration. We specialize in hair and offer medical and surgical treatment options. With four convenient locations and a triple board-certified plastic surgeon and dermatologist team, California Hair MD is a top choice for hair restoration around the U.S.

Hair Restoration Experts
There have been some attempts to create a new medical board for hair restoration, but we believe this would not serve patients well. Hair restoration is a series of procedures and treatments, not a separate surgical field. The procedures used in hair restoration already fall under the established disciplines of dermatology and plastic surgery.
Dermatology treats conditions of the skin and hair. Dr. Susan Stuart is a board-certified dermatologist and works with patients to address the skin and hair changes that cause hair loss and thinning. She helps us find medical conditions that may cause hair loss or find medications that can halt or slow hair loss.
Plastic surgery, especially facial plastic surgery, focuses on surgical treatments for the face and scalp. Hair restoration surgery falls under this surgical specialty. Dr. Chaffoo is a triple board-certified plastic surgeon. He uses surgical techniques to restore the hairline and create attractive aesthetic results.
Our center is unique because we address hair loss by combining the expertise and experience of the two specialties involved in hair restoration, including dermatology and plastic surgery, providing patients with a more comprehensive approach to hair restoration.
Considerations
California Hair MD is one of the top hair restoration practices in California and the U.S. Most of our patients find us through referrals from other patients or their medical providers. We’ve built our practice on trust, and we work hard to maintain it.
As you search for a hair restoration Superspecialist, consider California Hair MD. Here are the top reasons to choose our practice.
Our doctors have attained board certification, which indicates advanced training, experience, and knowledge in a specific medical specialty. Dr. Stuart is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology, and Dr. Chaffoo is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.
