I had anxiety about the strip being taken out before the procedure, but I can confirm that it does not hurt whatsoever. Dr. B is highly skilled with the scalpel and uses a perfect amount of local anesthetic so there is no discomfort at all when the strip is being taken out. Dr B said it was 70 square cm taken out. Once the strip is taken out Dr Bolton creates the recipient sites which are slits that I didn't feel being made either. While Dr B makes the sites, the staff of three male technicians (who were very professional and who have each been working at GHT for years) dissect the strip under microscopes. Once that is complete, you get a quick bathroom break if needed and can eat some of the snacks and drinks they have set up for you next to the surgical chair if you want. GHT is very private and they only book one client per day and their all male staff (including front desk) focus on you totally. There are no females there to worry about giggling or giving you anxiety while you are in a vulnerable situation. This was a big relief, because most other hair transplant docs book many patients per day and have mostly all female technicians working for them. The technicians surrounded me one on front left, one on front right, and one in the back and they placed the grafts all throughout my head with no pain. When the procedure was completed after about 4-5 hours. Dr Bolton provided all the post op instructions and medication. I was given Keflex antibiotic to protect against any possible infection, anti-inflammatory methylprednisolone pills, Hydrocodone for pain as needed and Tylenol as well. I was also given GraftCyte spray and the instructions to follow for the first 5 days after the procedure. I sat up the whole night of the procedure and was cautious never to touch the recipient area. I took the hydrocodone only the first two days but didn't really need to. Then just Tylenol for the next 3 days. On day 3 I had swelling in my forehead area, on day 4 the swelling traveled down to my eye area, and on day 5 it went to my cheeks. By day 7 all the swelling was all gone, and I had new hairs firmly planted in my head with much of the recipient site scabbing flaking off. I was liking what I was seeing, but those new hairs started shed off around day 13 just as they are supposed to and then they grew back in around 3 months and filled in over the course of the year. I had the stitches removed around 12 days after the procedure and that was a huge relief to have taken out and that was completely painless also. Now my suture line healed invisibly. I cut my sides with a #7 guard and you see no scar at all. I also feel no scar and have all the feeling in my scalp. The end results were nothing short of amazing. Exaclty as I had hoped for and needed! Now I have a complete and full head of hair with a hairline that I can style and comb various ways. It looks completely natural and nobody has ever asked if it was a transplant in the 2 years since the procedure. The whole experience was professional and Dr Bolton and his staff were great. The operating room and the whole office is extremely clean and you can tell it is not some high volume get you in get you out kind of place. I was completely comfortable the whole time. I reccomend contacting them and asking for my patient coordinator named Michael with questions or to set up a procedure. He helped me through the entire process and it's been 2 years and he still follows up for updates. Dr. B is obviously passionate about getting great results for his patients. Highest possible recomendation! Look no further! Read More →

It's been one year since my HT surgery with Dr.Bolton.The result has exceeded my expectations.My hair looks great.I haven't met one person who would think that I ever had anything done with my hair,and actually I have gotten some compliments from different guys whenever we had conversations about hair in gym and other places.Guys usually would say,hey you are very lucky man with your hair you never had any problems with it and when I tell them(not everyone of course)that I had HT,they always are shocked.It's been 12 mo. and Dr.Bolton said I can expect some more growth during next few mo.so I am very happy about it.I already wrote about my experience with surgery,so I want to say again if you want to look in the mirror and not get disgusted with your bald head(because that is all you see,I know) just call Dr.Bolton and he will help you.He really is the BEST in this field.I have met some guys who had HT surgeries done with other doctors and there is NO comparison.Most of them had poor results and the scars on the donor area are easily visible. In my case my wife and my hair dresser only can find that little thin line which I can't even call a scar and they have hard time finding it.To everyone reading that my advice ,DO NOT WAIT any longer,call Dr.Bolton and make your self happy!!!

I am ... It is with pleasure that I write this review for Dr. Bolton and his patient advisor Josh Engoren. It has been one year since my procedure, and I am extremely happy and impressed with the results. I am very pleased that I ultimately chose Dr. Bolton as my doctor for my hair transplant, and I was lucky that Josh was that person that helped me in the process.
Before choosing Dr. Bolton for my hair transplant, I carefully and thoroughly researched my options, and my conclusion was that Dr. Bolton was the best option. Dr. Bolton’s has more experience and greater expertise in the field than most, and Dr. Bolton’s “max-harvest” technique/procedure is unique and it really works. The results that you can achieve in only one procedure are simply amazing. I am living proof of that. People travel from other states and even for other countries to have the procedure with Dr. Bolton, and for good reason. In my personal case, it seems that all the hair that Dr. Bolton transplanted grew out completely, he improved my hairline, there are no scars in the transplanted area, and the donor area is completely invisible. My friends and family are also very impressed with the results of my procedure, and they told me that Dr. Bolton’s work is probably the best they have ever seen. I have recommended Dr. Bolton to several people, and I will confidently continue to do so. I am extremely happy with the results, and I feel happy and rejuvenated, to the point that I am now getting a second procedure to obtain even more density and to take this to the next level.
In sum, I believe that Dr Bolton is the best in the market, and Dr. Bolton’s team/staff is also fantastic. In my case, Josh was the one who served as Patient Advisor; Josh is very professional, very efficient, and very nice, and he is always available. He made me feel very secure and he was very helpful, before, during, and after the procedure. He is the best.
I want to extend my sincere recognition and thanks to Dr. Bolton, Josh, and the rest of the staff for the care they showed me in my first procedure and for the quality of their work. I can’t wait to go back to my second procedure. If you are looking for a hair transplant, don’t look any further, Dr. Bolton is the place to go. Good luck and many blessings to everyone! Read More →

Everything from initial discussions with Josh Engoren through to after care and support it is an impeccable service. Both Dr Bolton and Josh were very polite and supportive and made me feel relaxed throughout the whole process. The staff helping with the procedure were all very nice and make you feel very relaxed. The overall procedure does not hurt and aftercare if easy to carry out, like washing hair carefully and treating the area carefully. As long as you listen to the advice given, the results are incredible. This has now given me a lot more confidence and I am super happy with the results, see the 3 before and 3 after pictures Read More →
