Dr.
Epstein is considered one of the country's leading experts
in hair restoration surgery by the plastic surgery community.
A board certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Epstein
has been specializing in hair transplantation since
1993. Widely published in the plastic surgery, dermatology,
and hair transplant fields, Dr. Epstein is also a Voluntary
Professor at the University of Miami. In addition, not
a month goes by that he is not quoted by the media or
press for his expertise in this field. More importantly,
amongst his peers he is considered an expert in follicular
unit grafting, reparative hair transplants, and hair
restoration for women.
Dr.
Epstein was recently the featured surgeon in a three-part
series on hair transplantation that ran in Popular Science
magazine. This series focused on both his work in follicular
unit grafting as well as his anesthesia technique through
the use of The Wand®.
Most
important to Dr. Epstein is the respect and recognition
of his patients. He personally performs all consultations
and procedures, while his highly experienced team of
assistants performs all microscopic graft dissection
and assists in the planting. Only one procedure is performed
at a time, allowing the attention to detail that Dr.
Epstein promises all his patients. His office procedure
suite is accredited by the Florida Academy of Cosmetic
Surgery, complying with the new State of Florida Office
Surgery Regulations to assure safety. This accreditation
allows for procedures to be performed under mild sedation,
or if patients choose, twilight sedation.
Some
of Dr. Epstein's publications include "Hair Transplantation
for Men with Advanced Degrees of Hair Loss" currently
in press in Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery; "Hair
Transplantation in Women: The Management of Female Pattern
Hair Loss and the Repair of Scarring From Prior Plastic
Surgery" currently in press in Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery; and, "Revision Hair Transplantation: The
Repair of Prior Unsatisfactory Results" in Plastic
and Reconstructive Surgery.
Dr.
Epstein received his B.A. from Swarthmore College, then
graduated from the University of Vermont College of
Medicine in 1988. He then completed a 5 year residency
in head and neck surgery at the University of Vermont,
after which he was awarded a fellowship through the
American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery, spending a year specializing in hair transplantation.
Upon completion of his fellowship in 1994, Dr. Epstein
received the highest score in the nation on the examination
for the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery.
In 1998, Dr. Epstein became certified by the American
Board of Hair Restoration Surgery.
Over
50% of Dr. Epstein's patients travel in for their procedures.
Located in South Florida, the office is fully bilingual
English/Spanish, and has a large Latin American patient
base, in addition to patients from throughout the United
States. Over 80% of patients are referred from other
patients, fellow physicians, or hair stylists.
