Background

Dr. Glenn M. Charles founded Charles Medical Group in Boca Raton, Florida, in 1999, after training other physicians in hair transplant surgery for a hair restoration organization from 1997 to 1999 1. The practice, also based in Brickell, Miami, states Dr. Charles works exclusively in hair transplant surgery 1. The clinic describes itself as a "medical art clinic" built around one-on-one consultations and a custom treatment plan for each patient 1.

Procedures and techniques

The clinic offers both FUT and FUE, choosing between them per patient based on age, hair-length preference, activity level, and donor density 2. FUE extraction uses the ARTAS robotic system, which individually extracts each graft, while dissection and graft placement are handled by long-tenured technicians, some over a decade; every robot-harvested graft is examined, counted, and trimmed before implantation 2. FUT wound closure uses a two-layer trichophytic technique, with sutures removed in 7 to 10 days after a first procedure and 10 to 12 days after a repeat one 2. Procedures use long-acting local anesthesia, with Diazepam offered beforehand as a sedative 2.

Pricing

The clinic prices per graft rather than publishing package rates, with graft count and cost set at a face-to-face consultation 2. Its financing page lists no procedure prices, only payment methods; personal checks carry a $100 returned-check fee and must clear at least three weeks before surgery if used for the final balance 3. A deposit is required at scheduling, with the final balance due 14 days before surgery 3. Financing is offered through Cherry, Lending Club, and CareCredit; Cherry requires no hard credit check to apply, while Lending Club and CareCredit accounts must be pre-approved before surgery, and no plan length or interest terms are published 3.

Booking and aftercare

Consultations are complimentary, meeting both a patient coordinator and Dr. Charles 2. On candidacy, the clinic states low donor density can rule out a candidate, while for women it states that localized frontal thinning with stable sides and donor hair in the back can make for an "excellent candidate" 2.

Credentials and memberships

Dr. Charles is a past president and current diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, and the clinic lists him as a Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery 1. It also states he is a member of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgery, though his listed IAHRS profile page returns a not-found error and could not be corroborated 1.
