Founded in 1994, the Foundation has been providing top quality hair restoration services to men and women from all 50 United States and over 80 countries. The majority of our patients fly in for procedures, which include the treatment of male and female pattern hair loss, as well as the restoring of beards, eyebrows, and chest and other body hair. Other procedures performed include reparative work of prior transplants, body hair extraction, and more. In 2013, Dr. Epstein took on his first partner, Dr. Anthony Bared, who continues to develop his hair practice. In addition, Dr. Gorana Kuka, who practices in Belgrade, Serbia, is a plastic surgeon who also works with Dr. Epstein, lending her expertise in FUE and women’s hair loss concerns in an informal consulting manner. With 15 full-time hair technicians and 4 procedure rooms, the Foundation performs 12 to 15 hair procedures weekly, with a growing number being FUE. As board certified facial plastic surgeons, Drs. Epstein and Bared also perform facial plastic surgery procedures.
The main office of the Foundation is in Miami, while consults and procedures are also regularly seen and performed in the NYC office.
Gorana Kuka, MD, plastic surgeon from Belgrade, Serbia was one of the first doctors who began using Neograft for graft harvesting and has been developing her own FUE extraction techniques for seven years that permit extraction rates of 800 grafts/hour. While maintaining her rather busy hair restoration practice in Serbia, she also works with the Foundation for Hair Restoration where she supervises the hair transplant team. She specializes in diagnosing hair loss as well as developing latest cutting–edge treatments. Dr. Kuka is the author of the website www.haircenter.rs where you can find out more about her work.
Jeffrey Epstein, MD, FACS, Founder and Director of the Foundation for Hair Restoration, has since 1993 specialized in surgical hair restoration, performing over 10,000 procedures. An Assistant Voluntary Professor at the University of Miami, he has taught numerous residents and fellows as well as the more than 150 doctors who have visited his practice to observe him, as well as been published and lectured on hair topics including hair transplantation techniques, surgical hairline advancement/forehead shortening surgery, reparative techniques, eyebrow and beard restoration, business and marketing of the aesthetic practice, and more. In the past he helped run a practice management consulting firm for aesthetic surgeons.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about my time being trained and mentored by Dr. Epstein! What you want out of a training experience is volume: the opportunity to see as many cases as possible, to analyze a great variety of hair loss patients, and the chance to observe one of the true masters of the field. You want to be a sponge, and soak up as many pearls as possible: from initial consultation to aftercare, and everything in between. And you want to be in an environment that encourages learning, where no question is too simplistic, and where people are eager to share their knowledge. The experience with Dr. Epstein and his dedicated team of associates and technicians provides all of this in spades, with exposure to the full breadth and depth of hair restoration surgery. I can think of no better place from which to build a solid foundation in hair restoration than under the tutelage of Dr. Epstein and his team.”
