Edmond Griffin, MD

Had hair restoration procedure and it exceeded my expectations. Level of expertise, bedside manner, post-op checkups, etc are first rate. I have received many compliments on my hair...fully restored and completely natural.

I will update pics following this process, the bandages stay in place for 5-6 days. I had approximately 50 ice pick scars treated using punch elevation. Previously I received treatment using the Infini laser at a different office, no results for scarring at all. The procedure was painless after receiving Lidocaine shots all over my face, this part was very uncomfortable. Now I am just waiting for the results and being very careful to follow the post op instructions. I will post pics with a timeline from start to finish. I hope this experience will help others make decisions on treatment since it was very difficult for me to find much detail on punch procedures, especially those not involving excision. Updated on 12 Oct 2016: I can tell that some of the pits are not as deep as before, however there is still redness and a circle is left where the punch was. It can take several months to see full results from what I've read. I can see why it takes a mix of treatments because now I need something to smooth and help with redness on top of maybe a few punch excisions or grafts. As far as the physicians office...I am VERY unhappy with them, I can't even get anyone to call me back to ask questions or schedule a follow up appointment. How am I supposed to know if my result is typical or what to expect when I can't get a returned phone call. I just called a few minutes ago and I was told he doesn't have an opening for a follow up until January! That's not a follow up...procedure was done September 15th. I was happy the day of the procedure with the staff but this is just ridiculous.

I was starting to look very old for a relatively young and very active man. I work out with a trainer 3 days a week and stay in great shape. Yet my hair loss gave me a poor self image. I had a consultation with Dr. Griffin and felt no pressure at all. My questions were answered and I decided to proceed.

I had cystic acne and quite a mix of rolling and boxcar scars which have been treated by Dr. Griffin through a variety of techniques. Dr. Griffin uses cutting edge technologies including all types of lasers, Infini RF needling, all types of fillers including dermal tissue matrices, ECM, and the list goes on. I'm pleased with my results, however I do not have specific before and after pictures to post up. I felt that the procedures and treatments have been incredibly thorough. New appointments are best scheduled well in advance to get in the queue - totally understandable given the demand in Atlanta. Well worth a wait! Dr. Griffin is also highly regarded for hair restoration and transplant treatments. I've had successful results through prescription treatment in that regard.

I had a hair transplant surgery on October 2014 with Dr. Edmond Griffin from Atlanta, Georgia. A year later, I should see the full result of the surgery, but I look as almost same as before. I spent a lot of money and all I got were 4 months of pain from recovery, waste of donor hair, and a visible linear scar on back of my head. The outrageous thing is that the doctor gave me obvious comb-over photo result during one year post-op check-up (proving my result was extremely bad). He said he sees a lot of improvements until I said I am not satisfied. Then he started to blame me for not taking prevention medication and said that's the reason I look as same as before the surgery. But the another outrageous things is that he is the one who chose to do the surgery without prevention medication because if I chose to take the prevention medication I would have not done the surgery. He was busy blaming me that he didn't even touch my hair to evaluate the result. Additionally, for 6 months check-up, I drove one and a half hours to get to his clinic and he only spent 5 minutes. There is a high possibility that I had permanent shock loss from the surgery because I have diffuse hair loss. But the doctor didn't mention it at all. People with diffuse hair loss are not good candidates for the surgery. I asked him to explain the reason of him giving me comb-over photo results, not touching my hair at all for one-year post-op check-up, not giving me danger of permanent shock loss for diffuse hair loss, etc, and he refused to answer any of my questions except saying it is my fault for not taking prevention medication. Attached photos are his official pre-op and post-op photos he gave to me with obvious change of lighting and contrast with comb-over job.

I had the pleasure to meet Dr. Griffin for my first visit on January 15, 2016. While, this was mostly a consultation-I've done a total of three with other Doctor's. I never once received the quality service he has given me and time. I'm now on a non-surgical journey for my hair loss. While, he didn't guaranteed anything he gave me some options. I've decided to take the non surgical journey first and then see how the results. I will post pictures of my hair at the starting point...so everyone can stay with me on my hair journey. Last options will be surgery. Updated on 22 Jan 2016: I took these pictures and will continue to post based on progress (HOPEFUL) Updated on 2 Feb 2016: So... Not sure if much has changed ???? But at least it's slowing down the thinning. I'm being optimistic. I will see ! Updated on 4 Feb 2016: Updated on 4 Mar 2016: So, while no hair is falling out and some areas of my edge is growing. It's not enough for me to say that's it. Therefore, I'm currently looking into FUE here in Georgia or possible Turkey. One very very good thing is in the middle definitely LOOK way better!!!!! I will post some pictures later today. I continue to stay on the regime given to me my Doctor. I have consultation with him for FUE which is definitely going to give me the best result. But, I'm most grateful for the improvements in the middle. At least it hasn't gotten worst!!!!!!!!!! Updated on 17 Mar 2016: I will upload some pictures later. I'm happy with the improvement little to non shedding/thinning. I saw some growth around edges, but no enough to keep me from moving forward with FUT. My dermatologist told me his goal was to stop any further damaged and he accomplished it! Again, he also said the best results will from edge will come from HT. He is awesome and good at HT, but I can't afford him this moment. So, Turkey (AEK) Dr. K, here I come and my post will start on my journey with him...next Updated on 19 Mar 2016: Pictures...definetly a few growth on mostly one side and nada on the other. Middle looks better. That's my reason FUT it is for my edges !! Updated on 19 Mar 2016:
