Dr. Bernard Nusbaum

The clinic's bio for Dr. Nusbaum states he specializes exclusively in hair loss and has performed more than 10,000 separate hair transplant procedures, describing him as highly regarded in professional circles.1 It also states he has practiced hair transplant surgery in South Florida since 1983, at Miami Hair Institute.1 Miami Hair Institute, based in the Miami/Coral Gables area, states it was established in 1984 and has performed over 20,000 procedures across its surgeons.2

The clinic describes strip harvesting (FUT) closed with a trichophytic technique meant to leave a virtually undetectable donor scar, the strip dissected into follicular units under a microscope and implanted one at a time.4 For FUE it offers the ARTAS robotic system, a proprietary Hybrid FUE combining ARTAS with manual harvesting, and purely manual FUE using Ugraft Zeus, Trivellini and WAW devices; it notes Florida rules restrict manual donor harvesting to physicians, physician assistants or nurse practitioners, not technicians.4 A No-Shave FUE option uses a device the clinic says can extract individual units containing long, unshaven hairs, for patients who don't want the donor area shaved.5 The clinic also states it holds a worldwide-exclusive license to its patented MOSAIC pattern-analysis software, developed with Florida International University to recreate a patient's own follicular arrangement.4 FUT, its stated method of choice for most patients, can separate up to 3,000 units in a single session, and candidates are expected to have healthy donor hair, with color, texture and curl also factored into results.3

Miami Hair Institute does not publish a price list or per-graft rate; the clinic states cost is estimated, along with a treatment timeline, at the in-person consultation.3 Its payments page describes outside financing options for spreading the cost rather than a set clinic price.6

Consultations are booked by phone, and the clinic states the visit includes a scalp examination, a review of family hair-loss history, a discussion of expectations and an honest evaluation, with a cost estimate and timeline given at the same visit.3

Per the clinic's bio, Dr. Nusbaum is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology and a Fellow of both the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery and the American Academy of Dermatology, and is a past president of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery.1
