Ricky's Story
Dear Dr. Kurtin and Staff
I waited until now to write this because I wanted to get the full effect of the procedure. My hair restoration procedure has been a life changing experience for me. I lost my hair late in life, and I think, in some ways its worse than if I lost it at an earlier stage in life. I did what a lot of guys did, I shaved my head when it got really bad, so when I did try to re grow it after 3 years of shaving it, to my surprise I was looking at a bald, middle aged guy in the mirror. Needless, to say I was upset, so when my girlfriend encouraged me to go for a free consultation I said what the heck, lets go hear what they have to say about the procedure. I made an appointment with one of the more known hair restoration clinic in the country, and everything they told me, and show was very impressive, but when we got to the cost of the procedure I realized I was way outside my price range, and did not see any way I could afford it there. With the help from my girlfriend- she researched on the Internet and found Treasure Coast Hair and we made an appointment for a consultation.
After a few minutes with Dr. Kurtin and Joel, I knew I found the right doctor for the job, and for a bonus, the cost was less than half of what the other clinic wanted, but that wasn't the only reason why I knew I had the right doctor for the job. Dr.Kurtin and his staff made me feel very comfortable with the procedure, and fully informed me to what at to expect during the procedure, and afterwards.
During the procedure I was allowed to watch videos, and we stopped for lunch too. There was hardly any pain, and it was over before I realized it. From the very beginning I saw a big change, but the biggest change happened between 4 to 6 months. There was hardly any maintenance to speak of.
The change in my lookout on life took a giant leap for the better. My self confidence hasn't been this high in a very long time. When I look in the mirror now I see the person I was when I was 40, I'm 50 years old. I just got back from visiting my family in NJ and the best compliment I received there was from an aunt, who hadn't seen me in about 8 years. She said that I look like I found the fountain of youth.. I can't put into words how I felt, getting so many compliments. It's given me a new perspective on my life and given me the incentive to lose weight too. So far I've lost 20 pounds!
I owe it all to Dr. Kurtin, who made it possible for me to have the procedure. I can't say enough about Dr. Kurtin and his staff, and how comfortable they made me feel throughout the procedure, and afterwards. I would recommend to any guy that’s losing his hair to have this procedure done at Treasure Coast Hair Restoration.
I doubt you would find a better qualified doctor anywhere else- plus he really cares about his patients.
Not only will it restore your confidence- you will feel better about yourself . Let’s be honest with ourselves, who wouldn't want to look 10 years younger and feel good about your appearance again. I can't express enough how happy I am with my results. Thank You. Yours Truly, Rickey Brango
P. S. You should see me now Joel, I wanted to thank you personally for all you support throughout this whole procedure .Below I enclosed 2 pictures- one from May 09- One most recent one Oct 09 -Look at the difference!! I now have my hairline back and I'm ready for Television! >>>>
Joel's Story
 At age 17, I noticed that my hair was getting thinner. At first I thought it was due to wearing baseball caps or stress; however when I noticed other men my age where not experiencing this it caused me concern.
Looking for an answer to stop to hair loss from proceeding, I tried Rogaine which did provide some results in the crown area; however it did not grow any hair in the front and it was quite costly at the time.
In my twenties and still uncomfortable with my hair loss progression; I was drawn to Hair Club for Men that promised to give me a natural and immediate results. They sold this concept to me as a "system", which I later came to realize was just a glorified toupee and actually caused additional hair loss. The cost was in excess of $5000 per year.
The "system" also caused skin irritation, and I gradually lost confidence in the natural appearance that was originally promised. Over time I become a slave to maintenance the emotional stress of having something to hide. After four years of being completely frustrated, I finally succumbed to shaving my head as a temporary solution.
As a surgical technologist, I began to research the options for hair restoration. My initial research only presented the use of plugs and large grafts that did not provide a natural look. Further study revealed new technology. Follicular unit grafting was available and this was the answer that I have been searching for.
Knowing that others shared a similar dilemma, I discussed this with my friend and locally renown surgeon Dr. Adam Kurtin. We had worked together for six years and I have the utmost respect and confidence in his surgical abilities, attention to detail and amiable approach to patient care. He shared my vision and we began the process of training in this particular specialty. In April 2007, Treasure Coast Hair Restoration became a reality.
In July 2007, I had my first hair transplantation and I could not be happier. The results are natural and better than I expected. Having gone through various options, I can personal say that hair restoration is the only permanent solution to hair loss.
