Jeremy S. Wetzel, MD

I had an FUE hair transplant on March 4th and wanted to share my experience for anyone considering the procedure. Going into it, I had a lot of the same concerns most people do—whether it would be painful, if the results would look natural, and if the whole process would be worth it. In my case, I had a total of 2,600 grafts placed—2,100 in the hairline and 500 in the crown area. My procedure started around 7:30am and I was finished around 5:30pm. It’s a long day, but honestly the first half flew by. The doctor and the two technicians were excellent—professional, attentive, and they made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. That really helped ease any anxiety I had going in. In terms of pain, the only real discomfort was during the initial local anesthesia injections. After that, the procedure itself was very manageable and mostly painless. That was a big relief because that was one of my biggest concerns beforehand. The days following the procedure went exactly as explained to me. There were no surprises, and everything felt very controlled and predictable. The post-op instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the recovery process much smoother. So far, everything is progressing as expected and I’m excited to see the results over the coming months. The hairline already looks natural, even in these early stages, which gives me a lot of confidence in the final outcome. Overall, I had a very positive experience. The team was professional, the process was well-organized, and the results so far have met my expectations. If you’re on the fence or worried about pain, results, or the overall experience, my advice would be not to overthink it—it was much easier than I expected.

I’m from Michigan and ended up traveling down to Atlanta for my FUE hair transplant with Dr. Wetzel and his team. Like most people, I did a lot of research beforehand and had some concerns going into it—mainly around pain, results, and just making sure I was choosing the right place. From the start, the communication was solid and the team made the entire process feel organized and professional. The day of the procedure, the staff did a great job walking me through everything so I knew exactly what to expect. The procedure itself honestly wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. There’s some discomfort at times, but nothing that I would consider overwhelming or something that would stop me from doing it again. What stood out the most was how focused they were on making the results look natural. That was a big concern for me, and I didn’t want anything that looked obvious or unnatural. The attention to detail with the hairline design and overall approach gave me a lot of confidence. It’s still a process and I know results take time, but so far I’m happy with how everything has gone. The facility was clean, the staff was professional, and the overall experience was positive. If you’re someone considering a hair transplant and are on the fence, I’d say do your research, but this was a solid experience for me.

I'm writing approximately 6 months after my FUE procedure with Dr. Wetzel. I had a great experience with great results. 6 months out, and I have a full head of hair and everyone comments on how impressed that are with how good it looks. I wish I had done this sooner. I traveled to Atlanta for my procedure from out of state. The procedure took approx 8 hours, and I was at the office for about 11 hours that day. It was a long day, but I was pretty knocked out for about 80% of the procedure. When I was awake I was able to ask for more local anesthesia to help with any discomfort. My wife was with me to pick me up and help with care for the next couple days before we flew home. It was very helpful to have someone there with me. After the procedure, my recovery followed pretty much everything the doctors office (and the Reddit community... which is incredibly accurate and helpful) said I would experience. I had some light swelling and bruising in my face 2 days after procedure, my scabbing from the procedure lasted a BIT longer than noted, the numbness and odd feeling in my scalp lasted a few months as expected, and as noted the new follicles grew, fell out, and grew back in on the timeline laid out. It is a big procedure and a few weeks of recovery and care, but it's absolutely worth it. I couldn't be more happy with the results. Everyone in the office was very kind, helpful, and put my mind at ease for everything I was experiencing. They were quick to answer any questions or concerns you might have, even weeks after surgery. I'd highly recommend Dr. Wetzel and his staff to anyone thinking about having this procedure done.

I had my hair transplant procedure mid Dec, 2025. this allowed me to take off from work the last two weeks of the year to recover and heal. My Journey began with scheduling the initial consultation with Matt Longstreet in Sandy Springs. He shared his personal 14 year restoration journey with me and his results are impressive. This got me very motivated so i scheduled my first procedure: exozome injections with Dr. Wetzel. Matt and Dr Wetzel recommended this procedure and told me it would give my current thinning hair the strongest foundation needed to work with the transplant procedure later in the year. I was given instructions to review with my wife about what to expect during and after the transplant procedure. We arrived early at the Anderson clinic in Alpharetta, Ga, were welcomed by the professional staff and escorted to the procedure room. I sat upright and slightly reclined in a large comfortable leather chair, and received injections to numb my scalp. The donor sight in the back and sides of my head was where the hair follicles were extracted. I only felt slight tugging as Dr. Wetzel performed a methodical removal of nearly 2000 follicles. They were inspected and prepared for the transplantation, and were individually inserted with a micro scalpel into the new hair line areas in front and half way back on the top of my scalp. I felt comfortable throughout the 8 hour procedure and was offered water and short breaks as needed. After the procedure, Dr. Wetzel gave me very detailed instructions on how to wash and care for my hair over the next 7-14 days, and how to sleep with my head upright. I decided to sleep in a reclining chair next to my bed so I would not disturb the transplanted hair in front and donor area in back of my head while it was healing. I sprayed a saline solution on my scalp and this really helped keep it moist and minimized the itching feeling. After 14 days i could resume normal washing of my hair but decided to keep using baby shampoo for another few weeks to minimize exposing the transplanted hair to chemicals found in regular shampoo. It’s been 2 months post-op and what impresses me the most is how small and natural the transplanted follicles look and feel. My concern initially was not wanting the "hair plug" look from transplanted hair found back in the 1980s and ‘90s. I am pleased to say my follicles are sprouting up in individual places and not clumped together like “plugs”. I'm now in my post-op experience and I am very pleased. I had very minimal discomfort after the first week Post-Op, took Tylenol for pain, and started sleeping better after the first week. My patient counselor, Matt Longshore, was very helpful in working the procedure into my schedule. He was very good at answering questions. The next step is to receive PRP injections on month #2 post-op to nourish the follicles and speed up the growth of my transplanted hair. I look forward to watching my new hair grow and sharing my results over the next few months. I strongly recommend this proceedure. Kind regards, RES

100% positive with how the doctor and his staff handled everything. I, like most folks, spent a ton of time researching hair transplant procedures, and decided to go with one of the top rated clinics in the country, and it was the right decision. The procedure was relatively pain-free, they made me feel comfortable along the way, and their follow up has been fantastic. I would highly recommend them, and I would use them again. Updated on 18 Mar 2026: It has been about 7 weeks since the procedure, and I am a very satisfied patient of Dr. Wetzell and Anderson Hair. I did a lot of research before taking the plunge, and I can say that I am glad I chose Anderson. They already enjoyed a stellar reputation, and now I know why first-hand. From the initial consultation to the follow up, every step has been professional, comfortable, reassuring, and prompt. The procedure was mostly pain free and Dr. Wetzell and his incredibly friendly staff made it an easy experience. Then the follow up has been top notch. I have been fully informed and educated on everything, which for me, is a big deal—I am having a surgical procedure, and I want to feel confident that I am doing the right thing with the right medical provider. I would without hesitation recommend this clinic and these professionals. Dr. Wetzell has been there every step—from surgery to follow up to responding directly to my email and text questions. I know I made the right call. Now I am waiting to see the results, and it has been smooth sailing so far with progress right where it should be. I had an HUT procedure, and the surgical area is healing quite well. They were able to harvest even more hair than their initial estimate, which is great. I had advanced balding and went into this with realistic expectations, which Dr. Wetzell and his staff understood and supported. There were no outlandish promises—it was measured and reassuring.

It's been about 4 weeks since I've done the hair transplant with Dr. Wetzel. The process overall wasn't too bad. However, be prepared for the procedure to take all day with a couple weeks recovery. Also, you do get your head shaved for the procedure, so be aware of that as well. The parts of your head where they took the donor hair was actually the most agitated. Pain pills were nice to have, the spray they give you was definitely used up, and I'd definitely not like to go through the procedure again. That being said, I'm glad I did it. While I know it can take quite a while to see the final results, I am looking forward to it.

I’m writing this review approximately three and a half months after my FUE procedure. Let me start out by saying that so far I am very pleased with Dr Wetzel and the Anderson Center for Hair. At this point in my treatment I am just starting to notice the new hair grafts growing in, which is exactly as expected. I will give an update to this review in another seven to twelve months when I have my “finished product”. The entire process went very smoothly. I had done some extensive research about this procedure and the Anderson Center, so when I went in for my in-person consultation I had the procedure scheduled just a few days later. There was very little pain involved during the actual operation. The most uncomfortable part was when I was given the shots of anesthesia. My procedure took all day, but it felt like it only tlasted a few minutes due to the anesthesia I was given. There was a break in the middle for lunch, which was a delivered sandwich from a local sub shop. I went back the next day to for a quick checkup and to have the bandages removed. I was given very detailed instructions on how to care for the donor and recipient area for the next 10 days. The clinic was very helpful when I called back with a few questions. My recovery process also went very smoothly. I found the most annoying part of the recovery process was having to sleep in an elevated position for 10 days following. There was very little discomfort in the donor or recipient area of my head. As far as how I looked right afterward, the only thing that looked ‘wierd’ to me was the main recipient area (crown of my head), which was shaved before the procedure. The donor area looked somewhat normal after four or five days. Overall my experience with Dr Wetzel and the Anderson Center was excellent. With how easy this was I only wish I had this done years ago. I can’t wait to see how I look after all my new hair grows in.

My story—I’m not getting any younger and had been thinking about some type of procedure for a while, but even after studying it all on the Internet, I was confused. I finally decided I wasn’t getting any younger and if I was going to do this, I needed to get moving. In my Internet research, Anderson Hair Center kept coming up, so I called and scheduled a consultation visit. From the very first visit, I have been so impressed with the professionalism of the team at Anderson Hair Center. After my consultation, and thinking about it some more, I called back and scheduled my appointment. I was as nervous as could be on the day of the procedure—I don’t think I slept more than an hour the night before. However, the team put me right at ease, and kept reassuring me that everything was going to be okay—and they were right—everything was okay. I ask a lot of questions—what is this for, what does that do—the ladies were so patient with me and answered every one of my questions. Dr. Wetzel met with me again before we got started to answer any questions and to calm my nerves and then we got started. Before I knew it, we were done. Looking back—I’m not sure what I was nervous about—the team was amazing, and you get the same type shots that you get when you go to a dentist, so there was almost no pain. The office insists that we have a driver when we leave, so I took an Uber back to the hotel, but I seriously thought I could have walked back if needed. The team reviewed the post-op instructions with me, and off I went back to the hotel. I didn’t need the pain medicine prescribed for the first night—in fact, I didn’t need it all, so I threw it away after a few days to make sure I didn’t accidentally take it later. Dr. Wetzel called and checked on me on Day 5 after the procedure, and another team member called to check on me on Day 7. I had a few questions during the weekend, and I emailed Matt, and even though I told him he didn’t have to respond, he responded immediately to both emails. All of the grafts “took” and stayed in place—I didn’t lose any—so I’m really excited to see what the next few months bring. I can’t say enough about Dr. Wetzel and his team. The only negative I could find—I’m a diehard GA Bulldog and he is a Texas Longhorn, so I did have to give him grief about the Bulldogs beating up on the Longhorns 3 times in a row! Otherwise, it has been an absolutely great experience so far.

I recently underwent an FUE hair transplant on January 6 at the Atlanta Center for Hair, and I can honestly say the experience exceeded my expectations in every meaningful way. From check-in to discharge, I felt supported by a team that prioritizes patient comfort, meticulous technique, and transparent communication. Pain and recovery were standout positives: No pain during or after the procedure. The team’s skillful approach, gentle handling, and precise follicle placement made the process remarkably smooth. There was no major swelling after surgery, and I remained comfortable throughout the day. A key part of my recovery approach was pairing the post-procedure period with a red light therapy cap, which I believe contributed to comfort and healing. I’d strongly recommend this addition to anyone’s aftercare routine. Dr. Wetzel is nothing short of exceptional. His depth of knowledge, surgical precision, and calm demeanor inspired immediate confidence. He walked me through the plan in detail, explained expectations at every stage, and demonstrated true artistry in the placement and natural growth pattern of the transplanted hairs. The outcome feels natural and balanced, reinforcing my trust in his expertise. I also want to acknowledge Dr. Anderson, who contributed invaluable input during my consultations and helped shape the treatment plan. The collaboration between Dr. Wetzel and Dr. Anderson, along with the entire team, created a seamless, well-coordinated experience. For anyone considering similar work, especially those weighing options in Turkey, I can say with full certainty that choosing the Atlanta Center for Hair was the right decision. Turkey is often known for overgrafting the donor area, but here the process was easy, patient-centered, and focused on sustainable results. There will be shock loss as part of the journey, but trust the process. I am continuing with PRP treatments every 2, 4, and 6 months post-surgery, and I am grateful to the Atlanta Center for Hair for restoring my hair and happiness. This team is, in my view, the best in the field.

As I was getting older, I began to notice that the amount of hair on my head was getting less. I tried over-the-counter medications for treatment, but they didn't work. Watching TV advertisements on hair transplants, I began to think about that. I read a lot of information about the procedure. I decided to go to the best hair transplant surgeon. One that only specializes in hair transplant surgeries instead of one that offers different cosmetic surgeries, including hair transplant. In my area, one of the offices that specialized in only hair transplant surgeries was Anderson Center for Hair in Atlanta, GA. I made an appointment for a consultation with the center. After evaluation of my hair condition, I was offered Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) surgery. All my questions and concerns were answered, the cost of the surgery was presented, and I agreed to the surgery. I chose a date for the surgery that was convenient for me. The day of the surgery, I was supposed to be at the doctor's office at 7:00 AM. I filled out all the required paperwork, and then I was invited into the procedure room. I watched a video about the details of the surgery presented by my hair transplant surgeon, Dr. Wetzel. Then Dr. Wetzel came in and introduced himself. We had a short conversation about the procedure, Dr. Wetzel took pictures of my hair, and then the surgery started. It was a whole-day event. The level of discomfort and pain was less than I expected. As I was given just local anesthesia, I somewhat felt what was going on my head. The time flew fast. We took a lunch break, and I had the selection I had picked in the morning before the surgery. Then the surgery continued, this time I fell asleep, and was awoken when the surgery was over. Dr. Wetzel said that everything went well. A nurse gave me a package with medications and everything necessary for recovery. They explained to me what I had to do, and a dedicated driver transported me to a hotel nearby. The next morning, I came to the doctor's office for the first hair wash after the surgery. Then Dr. Wetzel checked my hair again and said that everything looked good, and I drove home that day. It's been over a month since my hair transplant surgery. Everything is going as it was explained. I plan to have the recommended Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment in two months after the surgery to improve the results of the hair transplant and look forward to my new hair in a few months.
