Dr. Haber's practice has grown primarily based upon satisfied patients' referrals rather than expensive advertising and marketing. He prides himself in doing all his consultations and providing excellent personal service. His patient-centered approach is reflected in both his prices and his excellent results.

Dr. Haber no longer utlizes the ARTAS Hair Restoration System for FUE, which he feels doesn't produce results on-par with other leading FUE practitioners. 

Dr. Robert Haber uses all the cutting-edge tools and techniques to ensure his patients get the best results.  This includes follicular unit micrografting, microscopic dissection, the Mamba Trivellini system, the Trichophytic Closure technique to minimize donor scarring, mega sessions, and the Haber Spreader, a surgical device Dr. Haber designed to improve the quality of donor harvesting and reduce follicular transection.

Locally, his techniques and successful results are featured on television as well as in The Plain Dealer.
