 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.
