About Melvin L. Mayer, MD - San Diego, California (CA)

You don't have to live with hair loss.

I wanted to express my sincere thanks for a wonderful experience. I remember two years ago when we met and I gave you my deposit and set a date to have my hair replaced. All I could think of - were people in hospital beds while visualizing this procedure? I canceled as the time became close. Two years later, I got up enough nerve to make another appointment. Up to the day before my surgery I kept myself too busy to try and even think about. The night before I could hardly sleep, wondering how painful this procedure might be and two, if these people do this on a daily basis, maybe they might be sterile and un-personable like most hospitals seem to be (overworked and understaffed). All I can say is Thank you...you were very helpful in making me feel a lot more comfortable about the procedure, and I felt very informed before letting my imagination visualize what I think might happen. Dr. Mayer is the best. I will never go to anyone else. What a kind and caring Doctor who really makes you feel good. After spending sometime with him, my whole attitude toward the procedure changed. I spent the rest of the day with Alice and Judy. Earlier when they told me I was going to be in the room from about 7am to 5pm, I couldn't imagine being uncomfortable for this long of a period. I was completely wrong. I had such great conversations with Alice and Judy; I thought we were good friends before the day ended. It's amazing what an imagination can dream up. I was wrong about everything. It was a great experience, having hair on looks great, and I look forward to thanking Dr. Mayer, Alice, Judy, and yourself personally. All the best, Dan

About Dr. Mayer
The winner of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery's 2004 Platinum Follicle Award, Dr. Melvin Mayer is the Regional Director of Medical Hair Restoration. Dr. Mayer first became interested in hair restoration during his 20th high school reunion when he was voted baldest in the class. This catalyst inspired him to learn more about hair restoration. He studied every book and article he could find, evaluating hair transplant physicians, their surgical techniques and the results they achieved. He used this information both personally and professionally. Dr. Mayer had the procedure himself and then decided to become a hair transplant surgeon. The experience provided him with a keen sense of what patients go through as they make decisions about their own hair loss.

  

In 1992, Dr. Mayer joined Medical Hair Restoration (MHR) as a surgeon. "I joined MHR due to the high quality of work being done and due to Dr. Matt Leavitt's vision," he said. Then, in 1994, he became a Regional Director for Medical Hair Restoration.

Dr. Mayer's accomplished career is due to his philosophy for successful hair restoration surgery: honesty, top quality work, integrity, empathy and understanding. Having undergone the procedure himself, Dr. Mayer has a greater sensitivity toward his patients. "I encourage my patients to start early in their process of hair restoration. By waiting too long myself, I was almost bald before I turned to hair restoration."

"One of my most memorable and satisfying experiences was working with a patient who first had hair restoration surgery when he was 18 years old," Dr. Mayer recalled. "He had large plugs placed in his temporal region by another surgeon. By the time he came to me 12 years later, he had balded away from the plugs. The situation had him extremely depressed. He hadn't been out in public without a hat in 10 years. I restored the hair and connected or removed the previous plugs, which resulted in a complete transformation of his self-esteem."

In 1978, Dr. Mayer founded a private family practice where he served as President until 1992. During that time, he was also Director of Florida Hospital's Family Health Center from 1977-1980. He has written several articles for medical journals and popular magazines. Dr. Mayer has served as an expert speaker at several conventions concerning hair. restoration.

Top Benefits:

  • 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.
