I started shaving my head well before I lost my hair. I was tired of putting goop or foam in my hair and seeing little to no impact. I scheduled a transplant in 2012 with another doctor and backed out because it was such a high-pressure consultation that it just didn’t feel right to proceed. Fast forward 8 years. Someone very close to me was having great success with new meds and I thought it was time to reach out and see if medicine had a solution for my hair loss. I talked with several clinics – each selling me the promise of a full head of hair with just a couple procedures. Felt like 2012 all over again. I was about to give up when I came upon Northwestern Hair. I paid for the consult. It was a casual conversation where Dr. Vinay came to learn more about me and my goals. I came to see him in his office and was shocked to see the Dr. meeting with me and not some salesperson. Vinay was patient in answering my questions and transparent with what was available to me. Two years and two procedures later and I’m completely blown away. He did not do what the others promised. Rather, he learned about my needs, told me what was possible and collaborated with me in choosing a path that felt right. From there, his inner artist took over and he personally designed the outcome that would make me feel like me at my current age (41). I can’t say enough about how Dr. Vinay personally guides you through this entire process. From the initial consult through the recovery process, he answers every text and checks in frequently. I never felt like profit was his motive. Nor did I feel like I was one of several procedures he would be doing that day. I was one of one and learned that he dedicates entire days to single patients. That attention to me was reflected in the attention he paid to my hair and the outcome. If you’ve read this far and scrolled the infinite glowing reviews – know that you have found the needle in the haystack.
