Our Practice Philosophy
First and foremost, we view integrity as the cornerstone of the traditional Surgical Practice. As your surgeon, we are privileged to have you as our patient. We do not offer specials, gimmicks, or other inappropriate fanfare. We take your health, and your desire to improve the quality of your life, very seriously. The time-honored tradition of the doctor patient relationship forms the foundation of our practice.
At La Jolla Hair Restoration we view the truly successful hair transplant procedure as 'The Artful Expression of Modern Surgical Technique'. Hence, your surgeon must be artistically talented as well as medically qualified. This is what differentiates one transplant surgeon from another. Our promise is to provide you with a level of artistry uncommon in the hair transplant profession.
We are not about the obvious. The true artistry of a transplant procedure is to make it virtually undetectable… to avoid being obvious. In our practice setting, Dr. Timothy Carman will deftly create your hair transplant as an organically designed work of art that will stand the test of time. Talent and experience make the difference: talent as an artist, along with sound surgical experience focused on hair restoration exclusively. We maintain that artistic focus, individually tailoring it for one patient, one procedure per day. The focus on one patient per day avoids any possible compromise to the integrity of the procedure, a phenomena which may occur in “assembly line” practice settings.
Our promise is to provide you with a level of artistry uncommon in the hair transplant profession, with results that will substantially improve the quality of your life!
It's been 9 months since my procedure and I couldn't be happier with the results. It's been an unbelievably great feeling watching my hair get fuller with every passing month. My experience with Dr. Carman and his team before, during, and after the procedure is worthy of 5 stars! J.C.
