Dr.
Alan J. Bauman is the Founder and Medical Director of
the Bauman Medical Group, P.A. located in Wharfside
at Boca Pointe in Boca Raton, Florida. His practice
is dedicated exclusively to treating hair loss in both
men and women. He is focused on using the most state-of-the-art
medical and surgical techniques to help his patients
maintain and/or restore their scalp hair. His international
reputation for providing high quality patient care and
exceptionally natural results has spread fast and far
through the word-of-mouth of satisfied patients.
Born
in New Jersey, Dr. Bauman received his Bachelor's of
Science degree in Psychobiology from the University
of California, Riverside where he began to cultivate
an interest in medicine and surgery. Dr. Bauman received
his M.D. degree with special honors from New York Medical
College, during which time he was drawn to the more
aesthetic side of surgery. He has had internship and
residency training in General Surgery at Beth Israel
Medical Center and Mount Sinai Medical Center in New
York City before specializing in hair transplant surgery.
During his fellowship in microsurgical hair restoration,
Dr. Bauman worked one-on-one with his mentor, an innovator
of highly advanced artistic hair transplantation techniques
in New York.
As a child he watched his own father (who had nearly
complete hair loss) struggle with the hassle, expense
and unnaturalness of a hairpiece for over twenty years.
Dr. Bauman has since restored his father's own living
and growing hair through transplantation.
Dr. Bauman is an active member of the esteemed International
Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, where he has sat
on the Ethics and Bylaws Committee, as well as the American
Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, the American Medical
Association, Florida Medical Association and the Palm
Beach County Medical Society. In the spring of 1999,
he was the featured Hair Transplant Physician on the
TV show "American Health Front," seen on FOX-TV.
In the year 2000, his practice was reported on by Fox29
News WFLX-Palm Beach, News Channel 12 WPBF-Palm Beach,
WPEC Channel 5-Palm Beach, WSVN-Miami Channel 7 with
Marilyn Mitzel, and FCNN (Florida Cable News Network).
In 2001, his practice was featured exclusively in dozens
of news stories across the country because of the combination
of advanced technology and artistry he has pioneered
in his medical practice in Boca Raton, Florida. Dr.
Bauman's practice was also featured as the cover story
in the M.D. News that same year.
Dr. Bauman is a co-author of several textbooks on such
topics as "Health Sciences Chemistry" and
the medical school admission process, and a contributing
author for a text on "The Science of Skin and Hair
Care" to be published by McGraw Hill this year.
He has also published numerous magazine and journal
articles on the current treatment of hair loss for the
general public and physician readers, and has developed
an international reputation for providing state-of-the-art
care. His articles have appeared in such publications
as the Hair Transplant Forum (the official publication
of the ISHRS (www.ishrs.org). Dr. Bauman is currently
the Medical Editor of the National Hair Journal, the
trade journal with the largest circulation in the hair
restoration industry. Through his Educational Outreach
program, Dr. Bauman has spoken to a wide variety of
groups about the latest medical and surgical treatment
of hair loss, and lectured to the ISHRS at their Annual
Meeting this past October in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
He has also been asked to be on the faculty at the World
Hair Society's Live Surgery Workshop in March 2002.
Dr. Bauman's articles have also appeared in such websites
as www.hair-news.com, www.aestheticlink.com, www.virtualhaircare.com,
and www.clonemyhair.com. His own 50+ page website, www.baumanmedical.com,
took years to develop and is an indispensable source
of information for people experiencing hair loss. He
was also one of the first surgeons to offer 'online
consultations' through the use of digital photography
over the Internet.
Dr.
Bauman was the first hair restoration surgeon in the
United States to use the French CapilliCARE® Microscopic
Hair Analysis system-a non-invasive digital microscope
that can acquire and record accurate hair density and
hair caliber measurements in several areas of the scalp
for future comparison for his patients. It is extremely
useful to detect progressing hair loss in areas that
are not yet visible to the naked eye, as well as track
the responses to various forms of treatment. Dr. Bauman
was also one of the first surgeons to routinely utilize
The WAND®--a computerized, painless injection system
for local anesthesia for every transplant performed,
for maximum patient comfort. Digital 'preview' imaging
is a routine part of all of Dr. Bauman's consultations,
to ensure that each patient has appropriate expectations
of what the procedure can provide.
Dr. Bauman, his wife, Karen, and 1-year old son, Ross,
are permanent residents of Boca Raton, Florida. Dr.
Bauman enjoys dedicating his time to local philanthropies
such as Colin Powell's America's Promise, the American
Cancer Society and the Florida Philharmonic. In his
spare time, he enjoys playing the electric bass guitar
and spending time with his son.
