I had 3 prior hair transplant surgeries over the recent years and I believe they were done pretty well. Had hair growth but nothing too overwhelming.
The plugs were large and consequently came with large scabbing with slowing healing. The clinical experience seemed fair as well.
I am very optimistic my nature and always see the glass "half full" so really I have no real complaints regarding all prior surgeries. However, now that I have had the "DCE" effect recently on 3-20-12, I will never be the same. Lets keep it simple, the effect is as follows:
* Very organized planning before your day of surgery
* A Medical office (of many) is in Fort Lauderdale = sunshine baby!!!!
*Extremely pleasurable staffing that greets you the day of the surgery.
* Surgery is done very professionally! The docs is very informative, the best in the business, gives you all the best "optimal" options, based on interests and budgets.
*The process is awesome. You watch a film during the whole process, other than the initial pinch of the pain medication injection, the process in pretty painless. Instead of being understaffed, he has so much help that everything is done timely which is very important when talking to the integrity of hair graphs.
*The uniqueness of his staff is, even with 5-9+ people working the process, they are in complete and utter symphony - meaning they are a very VERY experienced STAFF.
* The true satisfaction: The graphs are positioned and placed with such meticulous detail, you cannot believe you cannot see much scabbing or insertion of the graphs. If you have a point of reference with prior surgeries (as I do), you'll be blow away as to the difference.
* The scar from the donor area. "What scar? What donor area? Did he even go back there? Of course he did.... but his ability to stitch it back up, the way he does it...virtually detection less...is the most amazing thing..
* And he's Dr. with humor and personality.....
I could go on for days....but lets cut to the chase...what is "The DCE"..
that would be "The Dr. Charles Experience" w/ the Charles Medical Group in Boca Raton Florida...
Almost done.....what about cost.....lets put it this ways...the "The DCE" effect never ends....best pricing in the business...
If that wasn't enough, the Doc asked me to call him when I landed at the airport back from surgery that day- regardless if it was past midnight...so a doctor that really cares about you!!!!!
I couldn't possible say anything else except the negatives: Where the hell was he 4 years ago when I started the surgeries??????

I wasn’t satisfied with the fullness of my beard so I opted for a facial hair transplant in late 2010. Even thought the end result was okay, I spent six to eight weeks (immediately after the procedure) recovering from a mild infection and chronic inflammation of the transplant area.
So…when I decided to go for a second round of transplants I did my research and spent some time picking the right specialist for the job. In late January of this year, I went to Dr. Glenn Charles for an additional 1,990 grafts to my beard. Not only did he personally answer all of my questions leading up to the procedure, his staff was also very professional and friendly.
Well, it’s a month or so after the second procedure with Dr. Charles and I can’t say enough about how well things turned out. The visit to his office in Boca Raton (traveling from Pittsburgh) was a pleasure. Again, his staff was professional and very friendly. Dr. Charles walked me through each step of the transplant process, answering my questions as he worked and providing excellent care. Nobody likes to have a medical procedure, even when its cosmetic, but Dr. Charles and his staff made me feel comfortable and well taken care of.
I highly recommend Dr. Charles and his staff of gifted professionals. I’ll be sure comment on the final result of the transplant later this year when the new hairs start to grow back. I have no doubt I’d go back to him again, if I ever decided to do more grafts.

I have had good results. The spacing was a little sparse at first and I still had to keep the area covered, but 18 months later it seems to be a little better, or the hair a little thicker now, so while it doesn't quite look like the rest of my hair it doesn't look unnatural at all. So I would describe my results as good to great. Excellent job by Dr. Charles and as of now I am all set with future services.
-Craig
Thank you very much for your attention. I am very happy with the results of the surgery. After 3 months only I already have full hair coverage in all the affected areas and don't need to use the hair clips like I used to do for many years. Please give my beast regards to Dr. Charles and the team. They have done an incredible job and have brought back my confidence and smile.
-Atanaska
My overall experience with Dr. Charles was excellent. I’ve seen a great improvement in coverage and can say that I’m happy to have had the surgery done with Dr. Charles. Dr. Charles was an easy person to talk to and he made me feel completely at ease. Apart from the fact that I think he did a great job, his approach to the financial settlement was easy. He even asked me whether I thought the price was right! After having had a poor experience with Bosley, which I thought were far too financially driven with a low success rate in hair coverage, my experience with Dr. Charles was great. I am at this point not considering any further thickening. With a little help from Toppik, I’ve got a good coverage.
-Dan
Thanks for your email. In fact I have noticed some considerable growth since a month ago. If I am going to expect more then I am definitely looking forward to the next few months! So far so good with me and I am happy with the progress. When the time comes I'll be doing the 2nd procedure. I'll try to stop by at Dr. Charles's office to verify results.

The Real Truth:
Before selecting a doctor like anything I do I reach it to the MAX weather it is a product, Dr. or anything. Being in technology usually I can dig up some type of bad review/problem/dirt on someone. I must stay Dr. Glenn M. Charles totally came up clean and was praised by everyone legitimate who used him. But you will always find that one person to say something bad and they never can explain why so I just disregard. I went in for a free consultation met with Dr. Charles he didn’t play any games, no pressure, no used car sales tactics or ambiguities or omissions. He was just straight up front this is what you are going to get and this is what you should expect and this is my portfolio of real clients and told me I should shop around if I like. Believe me he is not hurting for business that tells you something. How refreshing this was and how all business should be done… I just had my hair transplant surgery 2216 grafts... Anyone who has been contemplating about taking the leap and having this surgery done, let me tell you... The surgery is child’s play!!! It is so easy, pain free you are much worst off going to the dentist and having a cavity drilled and crown put in. The day of the surgery you come in meet with Dr. Charles go over the procedure and he shows you exactly what he is going to do. You than lay back and relax in a surgery chair with your TV remote control. Dr Charles quickly numbs your head and I mean you feel nothing. His team who I can tell really liked working with each other; most of them have been together for over 10 years with Dr Charles. The procedure took about 4 hours they bought me lunch and I actually started to doze off I was just so relax felt like getting a head message. When they finished Dr. Charles went over everything thoroughly with me and insisted that I call him on his cell with any questions it doesn’t get much better than that. The only problem I experienced was the night of the surgery at bedtime. I had a lot of discomfort with the back of my head trying to sleep lying on the sutures but not bad for the payoff. Bottom Line “GREAT JOB” Dr. Charles and if I knew it was going to be this easy I would have done this procedure years ago. VERY HAPPY CLIENT!!!

I had my implants and I wanted to let you know they were great. I believe I will be happy this time around. Your staff was very nice. They worked very hard and I was impressed. Thanks again. Can't wait till hair comes in. I will be recommending your services to others.

Hi Dr. Charles,
I have a new girlfriend. That doesn't seem like a big deal except that she's the third since last October. Before my hair restoration, most women wouldn't even look at me ( well, most women who were attractive.) Since having the restoration, it's like it was for me twenty or thirty years ago, even better. It seems that in most instances women prefer men who are older, that is if they are men with hair on their heads!! Believe it or not, it's true. I met Ms. "A" last October on a blind date from an internet dating site. That alone was an accomplishment because most women wouldn't even agree to meet me after looking at my pictures with a bald head. We hit it off right away, but there were some family difficulties to begin with which may not have been a problem except for Ms. "B", a former student of mine ( my own age group), who took advantage of the situation and was able to nudge me away from Ms. "A" into her own court. It lasted with Ms. "B" until the beginning of July. I went back online, and almost immediately hooked up with Ms. "C", who found me first! We went out on our first date last week, and the second last night, and I can safely say that if there isn't a commitment yet, there will be one very shortly. The point is if I didn't have your procedure done, this all would have been nothing more than a wet dream, instead of reality. It really did change my life! All the best.

Just wanted to drop you a note from lovely Hawaii. I can't believe how good a little hair can make you feel. Enclosed is a recent photo. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???? You did an outstanding job. My hairline looks so natural. My friends can't believe it. I got rid of the glasses and I feel at least 15 years younger. It took me a while to actually come in and see you but now I am so glad I did. I don't think people can really understand how wonderful a hair transplant can be until they actually do it. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE! And, I'm going to take advantage of every moment. I'm off to hit the surf. Again, thanks so much for the great job. ALOHA!!!!

It's now been about 6 months since my hair transplants surgery. I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. The entire experience has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Your staff is both courteous and professional. The surgery itself was painless and there was little or no discomfort during the recovery phase. I was able to return to work the very next day! In short, it has been the single best thing I have done for myself. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I eagerly look forward to my next session.
-Dr. S. Bass
I couldn't be more pleased than I am with the Charles Medical Group after two microsurgical hair restoration procedures. Each was highly successful thanks to the skill of Dr. Charles and his assistants. From pre to post operation, I was in the hands of competent, caring professionals. If and when I need to undergo another procedure, I'll be flying right back to Boca Raton and the offices of Dr. Charles.

As a plastic surgeon myself, I was very concerned and cautions in my research for a hair restoration doctor. Knowing a number of world famous surgeons, there were plenty of doctors promising various results. I knew personally, I wouldn't be happy with a "pluggy", "Barbie doll" look. I ultimately decided on Charles Medical Group, not only due to his credible reputation among other hair transplant surgeons, but also because of his exceptional knowledge and skilled technique. His technique of microfollicular units and slit incisions is the latest state of the art technique. It provided me with and extremely natural appearing result and very minimal recovery time. I have recommended Dr. Charles to many of my patients and colleagues interested in hair restoration.

I want to express my thanks to Charles Medical Group and let others know about my excellent experience. Dr. Charles took a personal interest in me. He listened to my expectations and spent hours answering my questions. I was nervous about the idea of surgery, but Dr. Charles and his entire staff 's professionalism and friendliness put me at ease. The atmosphere in the surgery room was very relaxing. I had no trouble at all with the surgery itself, or the days following the procedure. It's now been almost a year since my last (of two) procedures. The results are dramatic, and I couldn't be more pleased. My grafts are perfectly natural and undetectable. I want to thank Dr. Charles for his personal attention his fine staff for helping me restore my confidence.
-Nick
I am extremely pleased with the outcome of the first two hair graft procedures. The procedure was almost painless and hardly noticeable. The results are gradual but amazing, It's as though you reversed the aging process. I look younger and feel more confident. I should have done this years ago! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the top of my head.

What a truly remarkable experience coming to the Charles Medical Group! My hair has been receding for the last 12 years and has been exceedingly more difficult to manage over time. I made the decision to seek hair restoration, did the research and chose Dr. Charles. I am 45 years old and live in Michigan. I came in on a Friday night. Dr. Charles graciously agreed to a Saturday surgery, and I was back home Sunday night. I followed his prospective instructions and expected major discomfort after the anesthesia wore off. Much to my surprise, I can absolutely attest that I experienced no pain during or after surgery. I would encourage anyone that is experiencing hair loss to talk to Dr. Charles about their options. Six months ago, I would have never dreamed the results would be this dramatic.

I felt 100% confident with my decision to have Charles Medical Group perform my hair restoration procedure. Patient satisfaction was the biggest issue I was searching for. I did a lot of research and spoke with several patients and ultimately decided upon Dr. Charles. His firm is very reputable. His staff was extremely helpful and comforting before, during and after procedure. During my surgery, the doctor was and relaxed. I'll be completely honest ... the surgery was NOT painful at all for me. You have no idea how scared I was going into the surgery. I was expecting terrible pain, but was pleasantly surprised when there was no pain. To begin the surgery, they numbed my head by giving me a series of injections on my forehead and back of head area. This wasn't painful at all, just a bit uncomfortable. It was mostly due to my anxiety, since I am not a "fan" of needles at A. He was finished with the injections after about 5 10 minutes .... then it was over. The procedure itself was really no problem for me. I honestly didn't have any pain after the surgery either. I was worried about sleeping on my donor area, but it turned out to not be an issue at all. My procedure lasted approximately 5 6 hours. However, that includes pre operative preparation, breaks and lunch. He has tons of movies you can watch during surgery, so the time flies by. I was able to sleep during most of my surgery. Dr. Charles seems to be comparable to most other doctors in the United States in regards to pricing. I wasn't so much concerned with the price of the surgery, but was mainly concerned with his exceptional skills. I have never experienced a medical staff that was so attentive to my EVERY need. Before the date of surgery, I had many questions and was extremely surprised that Dr. Charles personally took my phone calls. In addition, I cannot say enough how comfortable the office staff and surgical assistants made me feel at ease.

I want to sincerely thank you for a job well done! The results so far have been above and beyond my expectation! My hair loss has been very traumatic over the last few years, but thanks to you Dr. Charles my nightmare is about to end. From the initial consultation, to the surgery and now 8 months post operative you and your staff have been first class! With the state of the art techniques and professionalism at Charles Medical Group no man or woman should suffer baldness or thinning! I would recommend your services to anyone at all! Thank you again for your attention to detail, your skill, and most of all your compassion. Please feel free to use me as a reference if needed. See you in a few months for another procedure!-KP
Dr. Charles is tops in field. My results came out great. My frontal hairline is completely restored. If Dr Charles thinks I would benefit from another one I would definitely consider it Dr Charles and staff make the procedure very good for the patient. I have already gotten four haircuts since the transplant because I like the way it looks a couple inches long and it seems to be getting thicker each time it grows in. I love the coverage and hairline Dr. Charles made, it is incredibly natural and more dense than I thought it would be. Forget about it the worst part is over! CHOOSING THE RIGHT DOCTOR! You are in good hands with Dr. Charles.
