Background

Dr Alan Feller is the founder and lead surgeon of Feller & Boucher Medical in Great Neck, New York 1. The clinic is at 287 Northern Blvd., Suite 200 2. The practice was previously Feller & Bloxham Medical, and the contact page title still uses that name 3. The clinic says he has done hair transplants exclusively since 1994 and that his practice is limited to hair restoration surgery 4. He works with Dr Shane Boucher, whom the clinic calls Director of Surgery 1. The homepage says Dr Feller has performed over 15,000 procedures 5. The site gives his experience as both over 20 years and 30 years on different pages 45.

Procedures and techniques

The clinic offers FUT, FUE, a modified FUT and FUE technique and repair of earlier transplants 5. It calls FUT the gold standard and describes FUE as an adjunct for small cases or patients who cannot have FUT 6. Its FUE page says FUE should not be used for more than about 1,200 grafts unless combined with FUT 6. For FUE, it says the doctor uses a punch of usually about 0.9 mm and removes the grafts himself 6. For FUT, it says the doctor removes the strip and makes the recipient slits with custom-cut blades of 0.7 mm to 1.1 mm 7. About eight technicians dissect the strip under microscopes and place the grafts 7. The FUT page names Dr Boucher as the doctor who meets the patient on the day of surgery; the site does not say how cases are split between the two surgeons 7. The clinic says it uses no robotic systems 2.

Pricing

The clinic publishes a fee schedule, marked as updated on 1 April 2021 8. FUE costs $8 to $10 per graft 8. FUT is charged by session size: $14,750 for 2,800 to 3,000 grafts, with bands from $8,000 for 800 grafts or fewer to $18,000 for 5,000 grafts and over 8. A non-refundable first payment of $2,500 is due when booking, and patients pay separately for required blood work, usually under $250 8.

Booking and aftercare

Consultations are free, according to the homepage 5. They are held online, with photos reviewed by Dr Feller or Dr Boucher, or in the office 9. The clinic says all consultations are done by physicians and that patients who are not candidates by its criteria are not taken for surgery 9. It asks FUT patients to return at 6, 12 and 18 months, and FUE patients at about two weeks 76. No guarantee is published on the cost or consultation pages 89.
