Dr. Timothy Carman is a skilled surgeon with an artist's eye that provides his patients with both natural looking and dense hair transplant results. He performs surgical hair restoration at his clinic exclusively and maintains a "patient first" philosophy by operating on only one patient per day. As a surgical practice, Dr. Carman feels that integriy is the cornerstone of an effective medical practice. Dr. Carman describes a successful hair transplant as "The Artful Expressoin of Modern Surgical Techniques". Thus, he combines his years of worldwide hair transplant experience with his aristry in order to provide his patients with the very best results.
