Raymond
J. Konior, MD
Dr. Konior
was born in the city of Chicago and now resides
in the suburbs with his wife and children. He graduated
college with honors from the University of Illinois
and was awarded membership in the Phi Beta Kappa
and Phi Kappa Phi honor societies. This was followed
by the University of Illinois School of Medicine,
a surgical residency in head and neck surgery at
Northwestern University, and a fellowship in facial
plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University
of Texas. Dr. Konior has outstanding surgical credentials
for hair restoration. He is board-certified by the
American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, the
American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery, and is
a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Konior and 14 other hair surgeons founded the
American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery in 1998.
Out of the fifteen founding members, Dr. Konior
was the only Illinois surgeon. These top doctors
in hair surgery set the current academic standards
for assuring competency in hair transplantation.
He has been an active member of the International
Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons since 1994
and co-chaired the Chicago Hair Meeting for the
AAFPRS in 1995. He is also the author of numerous
research articles, journal articles, and book chapters.
The doctor has held a surgical professorship with
Loyola University Chicago since 1989, and is considered
to be Loyola University’s expert in hair restoration
surgery. In this role he has demonstrated his surgical
expertise on local and national media, including
news programs, professional journals, cable television
documentaries, newspapers, and magazines.
Dr. Konior holds a commitment to remain close and
accessible to his patients, and values being available
to them for their future hair loss needs. He has
never been affiliated with the national hair transplant
clinic chains, does not travel for surgery, and
keeps Chicago as his only place of operation.
As your surgeon, Dr. Konior takes an extra effort
to individualize each hair transplant as he has
found that his one-on-one attention in the consultation
and surgery are among the main reasons for his impressive
results and patient satisfaction. His primary goal
is to understand what the patient needs and then
to use his extensive surgical skills to imitate
nature. Dr. Konior’s plastic surgery background
helps him in designing a hairline and gives him
an artistic edge in creating a visual harmony between
the hairline and the rest of the face. He also uses
his plastic surgery training for the reduction of
scar tissue and the mastering of new, state-of-the-art
hair techniques.
Words of Praise: Dr. Konior has consistently been
voted one of Chicago’s top doctors by his
medical peers and has appeared in Chicago Magazine’s
“Top Doctor” issue as a result. He was
one of 5% of the Chicago area doctors voted for
inclusion in Woodward & Whites “Guide
to the Best Doctors in America”. For the past
4 years he has been honored to be listed in Castle
Connolly’s, “Guide to the Top Doctors,
Chicago Metro Area”. Lastly, after a two year
process, his operating rooms were given a perfect
score for safety, cleanliness, and quality leading
to full accreditation by The Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
