Visit to Dr. Alan Feller’s Clinic in Great Neck, NY

Given the many impressive and ultra refined results of his shown on this forum over the years, seeing a great surgery at Dr. Feller’s clinic came as no surprise. It simply confirmed what we have come to know online – that Dr. Feller and his staff perform world-class ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation.

He also performs follicular unit extraction (FUE) and was one of the early innovators of this minimally invasive hair transplant procedure. However, he does not over sell its benefits and believes that patients needing over 500 grafts are best advised to do strip surgery.

While he used running sutures in the past, Dr. Feller now uses staples because he believes it minimizes potential scarring or stretching in the donor area. In his opinion, stitches tend to bind and constrict the scalp tissue.

Dr. Feller has a great bedside manner and sense of humor. He is also a straight shooter and calls it like he sees it during his consultations.

I had the opportunity to see an excellent 2,484 grafts ultra refined session (1,105 singles and 1,379 two and three hair grafts) on the day of my visit as well as see the patient from the day before who had a 3,762 graft session (1,806 singles and 1,956 two and three hair grafts).

Both patients received ultra refined and impressive results, as we would expect after viewing Dr. Feller’s patient photos online in recent years.
