Patient Testimonials

My experience was nothing less than perfect. The entire staff is wonderful and very friendly. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. They’re very keen on being ‘connected’ to the client and making you feel comfortable while providing a professional demeanor. They did a fantastic job on explaining the process of the procedure. I LOVED the e-mail/texts reminding me of my appointment and thank you notifications. I would and am going to refer my friends and family.

Dear Dr. Ken,

I really enjoyed meeting you yesterday and wish all doctors were like you. I was dead set on not getting any surgical procedures and thought for sure after our meeting I would feel the same way. However, between you and the education you guys gave me, I’ve changed my mind. I have to wait until next April before surgery, but I will start using Propecia and Rogain in the manner you recommended… I wanted to not like you guys and come home to tell my wife “no way”, but instead, I’m developing a love for you guys and look forward to our future relations. Thank you for being so cool!

Hi Dr. Williams,

I just really wanted to thank you again for all your time today. I finally felt that I was in a comfortable environment with a doctor that actually cares for his patients, something that is tough to come by these days. It came a shock to me that you were the first doctor who told me to be patient versus jumping into the operation room, and for that I truly thank you. I wish there were more doctors like you in the world today, and I’m very very thankful I was able to find such a great doctor. I hope to stabilize this process as much as I can, and will continue to do your suggested treatment. I look forward to our second consult in the near future.

The experience was like going to a family members home… very sweet &
caring office staff.

Terrific visit – very knowledgeable doctor – clear and comprehensive explaining of options and procedures – beautiful woman at front desk made me feel welcome and added to the overall warmth and professionalism of the entire staff.

Hey Dr. Ken,
Thanks so much for helping my hair follicles grow up healthier and stronger.
Your personality and methods are above and beyond any other doctor I’ve ever been to. Really stoked. Looking forward to the next year.

I am astounded by the exemplary level of care I receive. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Thanks for taking the time to go over all the details during my appointment. This was by far the most comprehensive consultation that I have had among the four doctors that I have seen over the past two weeks. After talking to Dr. Williams and reviewing some of the material that he had emailed, I feel very comfortable moving forward with FUE hair transplant procedure with him.
