$24.000 voor 2.650 grafts Gemeld door een patiënt, sep 2023 · Details over de kostenAchtergrond
Alan J. Bauman is oprichter en medisch directeur van Bauman Medical, een praktijk in Boca Raton, Florida, met een tweede vestiging in New York City, die de kliniek omschrijft als uitsluitend gewijd aan haarherstel.1 Hij richtte de praktijk in 1997 op, en de kliniek stelt dat hij daar nog steeds zelf patiënten behandelt.2 De praktijk zegt dat ze meer dan 30 teamleden heeft, onder wie een tweede arts voor haarherstel, een nurse practitioner voor regeneratieve geneeskunde en een gecertificeerde trichologist.1
Behandelingen en technieken
Bauman Medical voert uitsluitend FUE uit en biedt geen FUT met strip-oogst aan, met als reden het herstel, het ongemak en het lineaire litteken van die ingreep.4 De kliniek zegt dat elke FUE-ingreep een persoonlijk haarlijnontwerp, nauwkeurige extractie en implantatie volgens de natuurlijke groeihoeken van de patiënt omvat, met follow-up met hulpmiddelen zoals HairCheck.3 De kliniek omschrijft haar VIP FUE-optie als het oogsten van intacte lange haren zonder enig knippen, anders dan wat ze de "stealth-shave"-methoden van concurrenten noemt, die een verborgen deel van het donorhaar knippen; ze geeft ook een tijdelijke "Long-Hair Preview" die binnen enkele weken uitvalt, en de kliniek zegt dat de ingreep twee keer zo lang kan duren als standaard-FUE en daardoor meer kost.4 Goede kandidaten hebben volgens de kliniek stabiel, voorspelbaar haarverlies en een sterk donorgebied, met aantallen grafts die ze schat van ongeveer 1.000-1.500 voor de haarlijn of slapen tot 3.000-5.000 of meer bij vergevorderd haarverlies.5 De kliniek noemt ook FUE-herstel van wenkbrauwen, wimpers en gezichtshaar, naast baard- en snorherstel en correctie van elders uitgevoerde transplantaties.3
Prijzen
De praktijk publiceert geen prijzen per graft, geen pakketprijzen en geen totaalprijzen; de kosten zijn volgens de kliniek iets wat het team tijdens het consult bepaalt.4
Boeken en nazorg
De kliniek zegt dat de eerste stap een persoonlijke beoordeling is, op locatie of online.6 Met een formulier om een consult aan te vragen kunnen patiënten kiezen voor een afspraak "In Office" of "Virtual".7 Dr. Bauman beschrijft dat bezoek als aankomst in de kliniek van 12.000 vierkante voet van de praktijk, waar een lid van het klinische team de haardichtheid meet met HairCheck, HairMetrix en microscopische "Tricho-photos" en de medische voorgeschiedenis doorneemt, gevolgd door een gesprek met hem, zijn collega-arts of de nurse practitioner voor onderzoek en advies.6

A 20-year-old male patient had a 2650-graft FUE transplant with Dr. Bauman in 2023, paying $24,000 (after a 25% discount). Early on he was positive, saying "I think he's a good Doctor he was very nice and professional and seems to care," but by 3.5 months he voiced concern about low growth in one temple, and by 6 months post-op he reported density and graft failure in the front of his left temple. He ultimately called the procedure "a massive rip off," though he noted his donor area still looked good enough to be repaired by another clinic.

OP, a 35-year-old between Norwood 3 and 4 with a vertex spot, had a video consultation with Alan Bauman in Florida in 2023 as one of six surgeons considered. OP reported 'wide ranging advice' across all six consults on graft counts (2000-4500) and technique (FUE vs. FUT/strip), but never tied any specific number or recommendation to Bauman, nor gave any personal verdict on him. By the end of the thread OP still had not chosen a surgeon.

In an August 2024 thread about dutasteride prescriptions, Enough_Membership_22 reported paying Bauman's practice a one-time $500 fee (up from $250 in 2023) covering lifetime follow-ups. They noted that medical treatment for dutasteride is handled by Bauman's Nurse Practitioner, saying 'You only see Dr. Bauman for surgical treatment.' They were started on 1.0 mg dutasteride, titrating up every 90 days out of caution about side effects, expecting it may take a year to reach 2.5 or 5.0 mg. No surgery or surgical outcome was discussed, and they offered no overall verdict on Bauman.

sociocandy had a virtual consultation with Bauman Medical in 2022, quoted $47,000 for 4,500 grafts (plus a $500 consultation fee), but never had surgery. When they tried to actually book the procedure, they say the clinic 'did not get timely response,' calling communication 'shit' and the follow-up 'pathetic.' Their bottom line: 'I am not going with them anymore.'

In a December 2022 thread about topical dutasteride/minoxidil compounds, FilthyNastyAnimal reported inquiring with Dr. Bauman's clinic about his .75% topical dutasteride solution and being quoted $250 a month. They called this price "insane" and leaned toward a cheaper alternative instead. This was a pricing inquiry only, not a surgical consultation or procedure with Bauman.

Street_Chef9412 says he worked with Dr. Bauman in Boca, cycling between finasteride and dutasteride at 'every dosage possible' along with minoxidil, lasers, saw palmetto, diet changes, RU, botox, and PRP; no transplant procedure, grafts, price, or technique with Bauman is stated. He reports his bloodwork became severely abnormal from the anti-androgens ('My TSH was 55, total test was 108') and he's needed thyroid and testosterone-replacement medication for six years since. He notes he kept good hair despite genetically aggressive balding from age 16, but in hindsight says he'd probably shave his head early instead.

- man NW5
- topical minoxidil burned scalp first night bron ↗
- trusts Bauman's judgment on his diagnosis bron ↗
- finasteride he prescribed cut burning dramatically bron ↗
Commenter tenniskid16 consulted Dr. Alan Bauman on multiple occasions starting in 2017: Bauman confirmed his Norwood 5 diagnosis, prescribed a topical 'minoxidil drips formulation,' and separately attributed a burning scalp sensation to possible 'DHT inflammation,' putting him on finasteride — no transplant, grafts, technique, or price were ever discussed, and no surgery took place. He rated Bauman highly as a diagnostician, calling him one of 'two very good hair Transplant doctors' and saying 'I think they know what they're talking about,' and reported the finasteride 'dramatically' reduced his burning. However, the topical minoxidil formulation Bauman prescribed burned his scalp from the first night of use, and after trying it a few more times he stopped it and switched to oral finasteride instead.

- topical is super expensive, $100/month bron ↗
u/Im_the_Blurrr is not a surgery patient of Dr. Bauman; after severe sexual side effects on oral finasteride, Bauman prescribed them a topical fin/min combo starting around February 2018, at a cost they describe as "super expensive. Like $100 a month." They rated it mixed to negative: "it sort of works with little to no side effects but it doesn't work anywhere close to oral fin and it dries out my hair and scalp sadly," and separately called it "so much work and so messy," preferring oral finasteride overall despite its side effects.

- pricey topical finasteride called worth it bron ↗
nicosiaj had an online consultation with Alan Bauman in August 2018 while on propecia for 3.5 months — no transplant surgery is discussed, only a medication consultation. On Bauman's advice they switched from generic to brand-name finasteride after suffering low libido, poor sleep, and testicular pain on the generic, and reported the switch made a 'light and day' difference. They also bought a topical finasteride product from Bauman ('82F'), calling it 'worth it,' and summed up their impression as: 'the guy knows his stuff.'

- seemed more salesman than doctor bron ↗

- sells own finasteride version, no prescription bron ↗
BonerComplex did not report a transplant with Dr. Bauman. In an April 2018 thread they said a prior visit left them turned off, that Bauman "won't even write you a prescription for finasteride" and instead sells his own compounded version, and that "He’s more of a salesman than a doctor in my opinion." In an earlier 2016 thread on Accutane hair loss they mentioned having consulted specialists including Bauman in South Florida, who in their account saw a relationship between isotretinoin and hair loss.
