About David Josephitis, DO - Hopkins,
Minnesota (MN)
You don't have to live with hair loss.
Soon after graduating from high school, David Josephitis found his calling. Even at such a young age, he knew that he wanted to become a surgeon. He felt that practicing medicine was all about repairing something that had gone wrong, and he loved the idea of being able to restore a person's wellbeing. As he pursued his dream, he realized that in order to become a great surgeon, he would first need to be an outstanding physician. "I chose to study Internal Medicine in order to become a well-rounded doctor," said Dr. Josephitis, "I felt that a broad medical knowledge, in addition to my surgical specialty training, would offer the best of both worlds to my future patients."
After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois, Dr. Josephitis spent a year at the University of Amsterdam focusing on biology and foreign studies. He earned his medical degree from the esteemed Nova Southeastern University. Then, immediately following his Internal Medicine training at the distinguished St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, he began his specialty training in Hair Transplantation Surgery. Working under the direction of Dr. Matt Leavitt, the Founder and Medical Director of Medical Hair Restoration, Dr. Josephitis completed the prestigious MHR fellowship in Hair Transplantation Surgery.
"Medical Hair Restoration offers a rigorous year-long fellowship program," stated Dr. Josephitis, "the academic and surgical training is world-renowned for creating outstanding hair transplant surgeons. This is a highly specialized field, so I only wanted to be trained by the best surgeons in the profession, utilizing the most advanced techniques." Dr. Josephitis was drawn to hair transplantation because it is one of the few specialties that require both an analytical and aesthetic mind. "I have always enjoyed creating," he said, "hair transplant surgery gives me the unbelievable opportunity to actually recreate a person's physical appearance and, at the same time, help improve their overall sense of confidence and self esteem."
The basis from which Dr. Josephitis draws his medical philosophy has always been to be a great surgeon in addition to an outstanding physician. "I believe there is a benefit in a hair transplant surgeon having both a medical and surgical background," he stated, "As a surgeon, I can give the patient the most natural looking transplant the industry has to offer. As a physician, I get to enjoy great relationships with my patients as their hair loss specialist. And, with my background in Internal Medicine, I can assure the patient that he or she is an appropriate surgical candidate."
For Dr. Josephitis, the most satisfying aspect of being a hair transplant surgeon is relieving his patients of the burden they feel when losing their hair. "Hair loss is a serious and troubling issue that many deal with on a daily basis," he said, "I enjoy taking this strain and concern out of a person's life and making their hair a non-issue."

MHR surgeons continue to pioneer advanced replacement methods that are successful in delivering completely natural looking results. MHR only utilizes a micro-graft transplantation method, which replicates the natural growing patterns of real hair using varied groupings of microscopic 1, 2, and 3 follicular hair units. The hairlines that MHR Surgeons create are totally natural and undetectable because the placement of these varied groupings is performed in an artistic manner which mirrors the irregular matrix of naturally growing hair. Gone are the days of plugs, which give the patient the ‘doll hair effect’ because the transplants were always placed in larger groupings which resulted in a patchy, plugged effect. Micro-grafts are smaller and allow for much tighter placement, achieving the most natural and undetectable look possible. No matter what method your MHR physician chooses, you can be assured you will get the results you want and the life you deserve.
MHR transplants are completely natural. The only way people will know is if you tell them yourself. MHR doctors use a unique surgical crosshatching technique, allowing them to place hair grafts at varying angles and directions. This method yields a hairline that looks as if it were naturally grown. MHR will get you that natural look; all you have to do is call or order our FREE educational DVD.
At MHR, our focus is on quality care. Our patients receive customized solutions tailored to their needs, not a one-size-fits-all formula. MHR offers comprehensive post-transplant care to ensure a quick recovery that does not disrupt the patient’s normal activities.
