About Dr. Hitzig
Gary
S. Hitzig, M.D., F.A.A.C.S.
American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery
One of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeon's in New York City and Long Island, New York
While serving as a surgical resident at Cornell Medical Center, in New York, hair transplant surgeon
Dr. Gary Hitzig had already lost a significant amount of his hair. He had previously spent most of his summer earnings trying every hair growth remedy on the market.
In 1974 he underwent his first hair transplant surgery. The results were less than successful. In late 1975, Dr. Hitzig learned of new techniques for hair transplant surgery
from an attending physician at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Institute and had his transplant redone successfully. Thrilled and fascinated by the possibilities of hair transplantation surgery,
Dr. Hitzig committed his professional time and practice to hair restoration for men and women in 1976. For the next three years, while still a resident in pediatric reconstructive urology,
Dr. Hitzig was also an associate attending in Plastic Surgery at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York responsible for training Plastic Surgery residents in hair transplant surgery.
During the mid 1980's Dr. Hitzig ran a training program for Dermatology residents at New York Hospital in hair restoration transplant surgery.
