Great Experience

I want to share my exceptionally positive experience with Dr. Jeremy Wetzel and his team at the Anderson Center for Hair after undergoing both FUE and FUT procedures. I’ve had several transplant surgeries over a 35-year period from a previous Surgeon who has recently retired. The results were life changing. Despite aggressive measures to prevent further loss, I was noticing recession along my part line and front hairline. I have to say that I was quite apprehensive about having to choose a new surgeon, not only for their technical ability, but also their personal approach. I was also hoping that they would still find me to be a candidate for additional transplants. After researching my options, I chose to see Dr. Wetzel—and I am incredibly glad I did.
From the very first consultation, everything was outstanding. Dr. Wetzel was thorough, honest, extremely personable, and reassuring. I never felt pressured or "sold" on the procedure. His staff went above and beyond to make sure I understood each step of the process. The surgical center itself was impeccable—spotless, organized, and truly state-of-the-art.
I went in knowing that my situation was a difficult one. Since all of my previous surgeries had been follicular unit transplantation (FUT), I had a considerable amount of scarring in the back of the scalp where the donor hair is retrieved. This left limited areas to obtain donor hair for the follicular unit extraction (FUE) method. Dr Wetzel took the time to thoroughly examine the options and created a surgical plan for both FUE and FUT procedures in order to obtain the maximal amount of donor tissue possible.
On the day of surgery, the entire team was caring and attentive. I was sedated comfortably and slept through most of the procedure. Pain was remarkably minimal, both during and after the procedure. In fact, I never needed prescription pain medication and took only Tylenol in the post-op period.
My recovery was smooth with only minor swelling that resolved within two to three days. I followed Dr. Wetzel’s instructions carefully, including sleeping upright, which made those first few days much easier (the proper chair and pillows are quite helpful).
Now that I'm seven months out from my procedure, I can honestly say the results have exceeded my expectations. The transplanted hair looks completely natural, both in density and in the way it blends with my existing hair. The hairline is soft and age-appropriate, and unless I tell someone I've had a transplant, they do not know. The surgical technique was exceptional—there was minimal discomfort, virtually no visible scarring, and the attention to detail is evident in the final result. That level of artistry and surgical skill is something I truly appreciate every time I look in the mirror. Every month the improvement has become more noticeable, and at seven months I'm already thrilled with the outcome. Knowing that there may still be additional growth and maturation over the coming months makes me even more excited. Looking back, choosing to have this procedure was one of the best decisions I've made, and I couldn't be happier with the overall appearance and quality of the work.
After decades of experience with hair restoration, I can genuinely say that Dr. Wetzel and his staff are among the very best. Their professionalism, skill, and compassion made this a very positive experience and I am extremely grateful.
