rs668Hair Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I had an eyebrow transplant performed by Dr. Epstein in January of this year. I am very very pleased with the results. I have had two other procedures performed by under-skilled doctors and the results were disastrous! For eyebrows, you really can't afford to get the wrong doctor. I suffered with scarred and inflamed skin for many years because I did. No one has the experience, the aesthetic ability, and all the refined details figured out like Dr. Epstein. If you are looking for someone to restore your eyebrows, there's no question where to do it. Just look at his pictures on his website and you will see what he can do!

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 rs668Hair, Can you post some before and after photos for us so we can see them? There are very few eyebrow results posted on this forum, so I'm sure our members and guests considering eyebrow surgery would be appreciative. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eyebrow Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 rs668Hair, Do I understand correctly that you had surgery on your eyebrows 3 times? What went wrong the first 2 times? Did they not grow or grow in incorrectly? Do you know what caused the inflamed skin? Are your eyebrows fully grown in from your surgery with Dr. Epstein? I've been considering the surgery for some time and am would appreciate learning more from someone with personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, no offense, but you sound like a promoter, not a patient. Please, post some photographs of your eyebrows before and after your January, 2009 procedure with Dr. Epstein, or let us just assume you're simply plugging (ha, ha) his practice.

GCMomof2 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm also considering having this procedure done and can find few photos of current before and after work done. It would be nice to see photos taken from the beginning to when the eyebrows reached their full potential and know how long that took and what it looks like during that process. If you can do this I'm sure others would be as grateful as I certainly would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruthHurts Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 First of all this Dr Epstein has more webpages and promotions going on in the internet than any other Dr. He is like Microsoft trying to say its better than Apple, when it comes to style and quality. Yeah there are bad and good doctors out there, this guy uses other Dr.'s jobs on youtube or on his hair restoration websites and claims its his own, or he will tell you that they are not allowed to tell you what doctor (in his network) did which job, so you do not even know who did what, good or bad. This guy is not the best, I know from experience. If you want him to fix the shape of your eyebrows, well right before the surgery he will convince you that his shape is better, because he cannot do the shape you picked (unless its just the outer eyebrows, not the inner). This guy will make you sign papers saying you will never say anything about the job he has done, and also the person that you will be talking to the most will be a guy named Jon Hoffenberg, the sales person. He gauges how desperate you are and then gets you for as much money as he can for Dr. Epstein. Because he will not be liable at all, he does whatever job he wants, you can not say anything because in order to do the surgery he essentially makes you sign a gag order, say something not anonymously, and he will sue you.

I couldnt have said it better myself. STAY AWAY from this guy....he is like CARMAX for hair transplants and this Jon Hoffenberg guy is the sleaziest salesperson of them all....lies lies lies just to get a gurgery scheduled..doesnt even care what is best for the patient. This office and practice is full of weirdos and unethical people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingslowly Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I have heard many BAD stories about Epstein, and for some reason, he is still getting inquiries, I would urge for everyone that has had a bad experience with him to let the world know he is ruining lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousCali Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I am seriously considering eyebrow transplants. I have had a consultation with the people at Bosley in NYC as well as a cyber consultation with Dr. Epstein via photos. Have also emailed back and forth with this Jon Hoffenberg Character. So my question is...If Epstein cannot be trusted, does anyone have any great (and affordable) recommendations in the Tri- state area or in Florida? Obviously Mr. Hoffenberg told me that Epstein is the best but after reading these posts I am definitely weary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebron74 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 It was just that he was finally find out he is not what most people think he is. His problem is greed. l paid him over $9000 he screwed my surgery up when l complained he told me that l signed a paper. So, you mean l signed a paper for you not to do the right thing. He had a guy on this forum who promote him by saying he is a great HT doctor that's how l got suck in 4 years ago. Which is a big regrets. To do repair he refuse except; l pay another $1500.
