New Year, New Hair, New You!
Make 2008 the year to treat yourself right. I just recently had a patient tell me that having had his hair transplant procedure made him want to live another 30 years. He said it has given him a new lease on life. You too could be saying similar things in 2008 with a Ziering Medical hair restoration procedure. We offer the most natural looking results with the most advanced state-of-the-art techniques, instruments and post-operative healing regimens in the industry. Don't trust your hair to anyone else!
But you don't have to take my word for it, just look up the patient testimonials on our website www.zieringmedical.com or call the office and ask to speak to real patients who are ready and willing to tell you about their amazing and sometimes life changing experience they had with a Ziering Medical hair restoration procedure. We have nothing to hide- except your balding scalp! Call today!
Shiny is Cool - Shiny Bald ... A Different Story
As 2007 comes to a close and we reflect on the many happenings of the past 52 weeks it is apparent that as much as change is afoot [some favorable and some not and much overdue] we can take solace in the fact that at its core there persists a recognition amongst most of us that health and vitality are positive and desirable states of being - worth striving for despite the ever increasingly difficult path to actualization.
So in the way of encouragement let it be said that persistence and diligence do have their rewards and despite the bleakness of the outlook on issues of enormous magnitude that have come into focus this year - one needn't look further than our own backyards to see the evidence of this as our academic corridors and athletic fields and community centers continue to graduate capable youths representing tomorrow's hopes for a better and brighter world.
The exuberance of this youthful contingent of course must be guided so as to prevent wayward drift. This critical task falls to us - the no longer fleet of foot but wiser in the ways of the world faction. Our job...to act as beacons - not by virtue of our shiny pates [ ZM plug ] but rather by our shining acts of leadership and valor.
So let us together view 2008 as an opportunity to both realign and advance the principals and tenets which we hold to be unassailable and vital to the health and well-being of our future as a people.

The Criticality of a Superior Surgical Tech Team
Patients who have never had a hair transplant procedure are often surprised to learn that the surgeon does not perform every step of the procedure by him or herself. Veterans of the hair transplant procedure are not only relieved but very comfortable with the fact that the formula for success relies on the surgical team created by the surgeon. This is imperative because today’s procedure often involves the microscopic dissection of 3000 grafts and subsequent implantation which is all performed in one day. At Ziering Medical the surgeon will establish a short and long term hair restoration plan which includes surgical and non-surgical treatment options and combinations. Additionally, your surgeon will outline the treatment zone with a surgical pencil to help you visualize the transformation that will take place with your hair restoration.
Our surgical tech teams are composed of at least five members. They microscopically sliver the donor strip and then dissect the individual grafts into one, two, three or four hair follicular units which are then placed into the recipient sites that have been created by your surgeon.
Our highly qualified and selectively chosen senior staff has been trained specifically in the latest industry and Ziering patented techniques. Completing a year-long intensive training program is a requirement for every member of every surgical team. We have a Team Leader as well as Surgical Coordinator for every case, so there are always checks and balances during your surgery which is orchestrated by the surgeon. It’s a very meticulous process that requires great attention to detail over long periods of time. The ability to rotate and tag team fresh hands and eyes, preventing fatigue, insures that the highest quality of care can be delivered to every surgical patient throughout the entire procedure.
A great surgical team can make a good surgeon even better, but a bad team can make a great surgeon have poor results. That is why we take great care in hiring, training and continually investing in our Ziering family of surgical technicians. I take great pride in my team whom I consider to be highly skilled craftsmen. We will not compromise in our staff, as they contribute in making a difference in our patient’s lives every day.
