Background

Dan McGrath is founder of McGrath Medical, a hair restoration practice in Austin, Houston and Dallas, Texas.1 The clinic frames his path into the field as personal: he had male pattern hair loss in his twenties, underwent his own transplant, and later completed a year-long fellowship at Ziering Medical in Newport Beach before dedicating his practice to hair restoration.2 He is joined by Dr. Michael Hughes, whom the clinic describes as a former U.S. Air Force Major who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, returned to private practice, and after discovering hair transplantation trained in FUE including time in Beverly Hills.3 McGrath speaks Spanish, and the clinic states he underwent the same procedure himself.4

Procedures and techniques

The practice offers FUT, called Ultra-Refined Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation, FUE, and NeoGraft automated FUE, plus eyebrow, beard and facial transplants.5 Per the clinic's Spanish-language page, every transplant is performed by Dr. McGrath personally.4 Its English FUE page instead credits "our surgeons" generally.7 The clinic reviews the patient's health, healing history, age, hair loss and donor quality before surgery; the surgeon sketches the hairline with the patient's input first.6 For FUT, it performs trichophytic donor closure on every linear harvest, a technique it says lets hair grow through the donor scar so it is nearly invisible.6 Its NeoGraft system handles extraction and placement, which Dr. McGrath says cuts procedure time and cost.8

Pricing

McGrath Medical does not publish its own prices; its cost page instead cites general market figures, putting the national average session at $5,000 to $25,000 and the Texas average at roughly $8,500 to $15,000.9 It offers financing through LendingClub and CareCredit.9

Booking and aftercare

Consultations are free by phone or text, described as an in-depth evaluation followed by a treatment recommendation; a separate online form is offered for a virtual consultation.1 For NeoGraft, the clinic lists claimed benefits including no stitches, patients typically back at work the next day, and roughly double the grafts of manual FUE per session.8

Credentials and memberships

McGrath is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery.10 The clinic states he is also a past president of that board's Board of Directors.5 He holds Fellow status with the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery.11 He is also listed with the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons.12
