Last August of 2004 at the annual International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) meeting in Vancouver Canada I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ricardo Mejia. He impressed me as an up and coming hair transplant surgeon. Like a few other now well known surgeons, he had gotten his basic training as a “fellow” at Medical Hair Restoration and had moved on so that he could perform quality follicular unit hair transplantation as an independent physician.

His background as dermatologic surgeon combined with his extensive hair transplant experience was impressive. So when visiting other clinics in south Florida during late July I also visited him and his staff in Jupiter Florida.

Although the day I happened to be in his area he was not performing surgery, I did view many of his patient photos, while discussing his technique and philosophy. I found his patient results to be extremely natural, with well designed and subtle hairlines. I was also impressed by his philosophy of managing patient expectations so that they are not oversold on his procedure.
