Skip Verified Hairtransplantsociety Review Published December 2013

I began to notice my hair receding in my mid 20s. The recession continued through my 30s and I started to wear my hair combed forward in a "ceasar" style to try to hide the recession. I realized at about 38 that the best thing to do was to cut all my hair very short. I decided at age 44 to explore hair transplant surgery. I shopped around online and found a doctor in Beverly Hills that had offered three things that I THOUGHT were important: 1. Best price for highest number of grafts=Cost effective 2. Yale trained surgeon=Qualified 3. Beverly Hills location=Must have a lot of experience, because based in LA. A year later I had a sparse result and a scar line that could be seen on the back of my head. The experience itself and the care that I received were fine. I paid $6000 and got more hair than I had at the start, but I did not look much different and I did not achieve a frontal hairline. I learned several things: 1. I never saw photos of the doctor's previous work=Big Mistake! 2. A Yale education, doesn't equal a lot of hair or an undetectable scar. 3. Best price doesn't always yield best results. I researched Dr Bolton for about 6 months, as I knew at that point that my first precedure was not going to yield the results that I wanted. I spoke to Josh and saw all of the pics on Dr Bolton's website, and I scheduled my procedure. Please note, that I had Dr Bolton shave the area, because he said it would be easier to work on the area. Also, please note that I do have some swelling in my face and under my eyes in the day 3 pic, which is normal. Lastly, please note the pic of the back of my head, as there is NO VISIBLE incision line and I actually have a 9" sucture hidden under my hair. I will be adding pics as I heal.

I did my research watching Dr.Bolton's videos and testimonials and felt he was the best doctor to travel to. I had a previous procedure at Bosley years ago that left me with minimal results and a scar. I wanted to do it right this time and I'm happy I did. I'm so amazed with the results and procedure I came back for more. It's changed my life and I'm very THANKFUL. Read More →

The first was 22yrs ago, and the second 10yrs ago. There's two reasons why I keep going back to Dr. Bolton; one to keep up with the inevitable hair loss of DHT vulnerable, non transplanted hair, and two because he does outstanding work. I feel so lucky to have found him for my first procedure.

Dr. Bolton has been averaging a transplant every weekday for 27yrs now, that's over 7k transplants, and those yrs of experience are evident in the ever improving quality, efficiency, and care he takes w/his procedures. When I tell people I've had transplants done, the biggest compliment not only to me, but Dr. Bolton, is that they always remark that they would've never known if I hadn't said anything.

From scheduling to post-op care, Dr. Bolton and his patient advisor Mike, as well as the hair techs make sure you're well taken care of. By the way, Mike and the tech staff have been w/Dr. Bolton for over 10yrs. I think that says something about the quality of the clinic when the staff has been there that long. As an aside, I stayed at Casitas Coral Ridge just a few blocks away, highly recommend.

There's a reason people come from not only all over the country, but even from around the world to Dr. Bolton, because he's that good. If you're considering a hair transplant then you've found the best for your money hands down.

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 would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the entire medical team. Your compassion to restore hair for those wanting to reach out to the best doctors in the market today is beyond words can describe. I am very pleased with your facility and hospitality. I started to see small hair growth by day six and I also removed my sutures on day ten. I kindly encourage you to request each and everyone of your patients plant a tree or two and nurture them for the next two years, just like the density of your own hair. Great Hair Transplants is making a difference in the world, to transform the lives of men and women. Thank you Dr. Brett Bolton! Read More →

I have seen his work first-hand and recommend him all the time to anyone looking to regain their youthful hairline. I haven’t met another hair transplant expert who transfers so many hairs in one sitting. His results are natural, thick, and without comparison. As a cosmetic surgeon considering adding hair transplantation to my own surgical options for my patients, I hope to learn his unique technique one day. If you’re looking for the most bang for your buck, look no further!! Read More →

Ok so I’m 72. Was totally bald in 2006 picture in middle below when I saw Wade Boggs result with a Dr levitt and I contacted that practice and met with salesman Josh Engoren who had several successful procedures himself then. So picture on right was one year later 2007 and result of first transplant and so I went back thru Josh and had another procedure. . It lasted 18 years and in 2023 I contexts Josh Engoren and had a procedure with Brett Bolton. And that’s the pic on left. I’m going back Wednesday at 72 for one final procedure to get fuller look and have become totally comfortable with this 3-5 hour same stay surgery and well hitting more homeruns with the ladies than ever. They fight over you. lol. Thanks Josh and Brett Read More →

The facility was warm and inviting, and the staff offered the most phenomenal hospitality I had ever experienced. What stood out most to me is the fact that Dr. Brett Bolton did not look at me as if I were just a $Dollar sign like previous doctors that I had consulted with prior to choosing him. It seemed that making me happy and doing the best job possible was the most important thing on his mind. When I was in the office the day of my surgery I felt like It was all about me, sort of like Royalty. Dr. Brett Bolton is just an amazing individual all the way around; he is honest and compassionate. Making his patients happy is his main goal. I highly recommend him to everyone. Read More →
