Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I'm Free At Last!
After botched hair transplants, I was forced to wear hairpieces for 25 years to hide the scarring and the obviousness of the transplants. A few years ago, reading nothing but positive reviews of Dr. McAndrews and seeing the widespread respect for him on hair loss forums, I consulted with Dr. McAndrews. After only one procedure, in which he added density and corrected much of the damage from my previous transplants, I was able to throw my hairpieces away. After two more procedures, my hair looks natural and surprisingly dense. Now I spend only 3 minutes styling my hair after getting out of the shower and can travel and go swimming, all without the hassles and potential embarrassment of a hairpiece. Thank you, Dr. McAndrews! Thanks also to Millie, his RN, and Mach, his office manager.

I have had 2 hair transplants by Dr. McAndrews over the last 15 years. He is an absolute savant when it comes to the artistic component of hair transplant. No one except my wife and salonist knows I have had a hair transplant. My salonist says he has never seen a hair transplant look so natural and wouldn’t know if I didn’t tell him I had a hair transplant. My salonist has since been referring all his clients with hair loss concerns to Dr. McAndrews. He thinks Dr. McAndrews can do no wrong.

Just had my third hair transplant procedure and I can’t say enough of the professionalism of Dr McAndrews and his staff!! I’ve had a triple bypass and wanted to be sure I was in good hands, I wouldn’t have gone to any other doctor. His and his staffs artistry in creating a natural hairline is of upmost importance . I feel confident of my appearance, superb work of art!!! Dr McAndrews is hands on throughout the entire procedure and the office is closed to focus completely on your procedure and needs!

My first visit with Dr McAndrews was 10+ years ago, at which time he told me to wait to get a transplant and put me on propecia. I saw him once a year after that and never once did he pressure me to have procedure done. When I finally pulled the trigger on a transplant, the surgery was smooth and successful. His entire staff was over the top helpful and responsive 24/7. They spent a ton of time with me and never once did I feel like a was being rushed or processed through, like many doctor's offices can feel. Extremely professional top to bottom.

By far the most amazing medical experience I have ever had! I myself am a surgeon and I have personally taken care of thousands of patients. Dr McAndrews is the epitome of what a surgeon should be. He cares about what he is doing and is passionate about his results and the people he is treating. His standards are the highest I have ever seen. There is No Doctor in his field that can compare to the level of care and attention that he gives every surgery and every patient.

I can't say enough - so good, so professional and congenial. He is very thorough in getting the surgery done right. Takes his time and answers any questions fully. I've had transplant surgery elsewhere and he is tops.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. McAndrews?
The first appt gave me some hope, and I really thought that Dr. McAndrews would be able to help me. After my diagnosis, he never spoke to me again. The person who called with my results essentially told me that my case (lichen planopilaris) didn't give me many options and basically dismissed me. There were no alternatives discussed and I left in tears since they didn't seem interested in talking to me further. Things change all the time. Would have been nice to have a resource.
