Patient Reviews

This review is regarding my husband's experience at California Hair Surgeon. He initially went in for a hair transplant consultation, but after Dr. Sara consulted with him, she brought in her colleague, Doral Borgnis, who does SMP (scalp micropigmentation), which is something we had never heard of. They recommended it and said my husband was a great candidate since he keeps his hair very short and buzzed.

This was a much better option and more cost-effective too- loved that for us. Everything was extremely professional, top-tier experience. We drove over an hour EACH way, from Marin, because we heard they are the best in the business and did a ton of research; after about 6 sessions, everything looks amazing!

They fixed and filled in his hairline and the bald area with scalp micropigmentation - healed nicely - not much downtime, and Doral is a perfectionist, so he took his time.

*Received a nice gift basket and card because of a scheduling conflict (on their end), which was such a nice surprise and appreciated. Definitely recommend this practice to everyone looking. 10 stars! There is no fountain of youth, but a lil SMP will keep them guessing. - MS - Google Review

I had my transplant done 15 years ago. I have never regretted doing it. It made such a difference!!

I want to extend a huge thank you to Dr. Wasserbauer and the entire team for the INCREDIBLE medical care, the professionalism, and the EXTRAORDINARY personal care given to me throughout the day. I am still blown away, thinking about my experience (the fluffy blanket in the am to rest, the attention to detail to ensure I was comfortable during the procedure, my darling lunch tray, the organization of a ride home) - above and beyond what I could have expected!

You can certainly tell you all love your jobs, and it brings you joy to see how you’re improving your patients’ lives.

 

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Sara Wasserbauer and her team. From the initial consultation, I immediately felt confident that she was the right doctor for the job. She spent over an hour answering all of my questions thoroughly, and even gave my wife and me her personal cell phone number in case anything came up later—that level of care and accessibility really stood out.



When I arrived for the procedure, her team was incredible—welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely relaxed. That sense of comfort stayed with me throughout the entire process, which meant a lot.

I’m only one day post-op, and I’ve already told five friends about my experience. I’m truly grateful to have found Dr. Wasserbauer and her team, and I strongly recommend them to anyone considering hair restoration surgery.

Amazing treatment! I came in extremely anxious, and left with a huge smile and a whole new head of hair. Every single staff member was extremely sweet and made me feel very welcomed

My wife and I met with Dr Wasserbauer last week. So many great things I can say. Her entire office staff so kind and professional, and then upon meeting with Dr Wasserbauer I was not only amazed at her knowledge of various hair treatments but that she was able to walk us through various processes.

She was truthful, honest, kind and actually very intriguing to visit with. I have never left a doctor's appointment wanting to send a thank you card and a gift certificate for them.

I can’t say enough, SO impressed. She earned a lifelong client

Dr Wasserbauer and her entire team were amazing, professional and took care of everything imaginable the day of the procedure. This was a big decision for me and I have no hesitation at all recommending Dr Sara and her team to anyone. I will plan to come back for further additional improvements!

If you have the money, (the procedure is expensive - especially for me as I had such severe hair loss I needed 2 procedures) it is worth every penny. My procedures were done years ago and I have noticed no changes to my hair since that time. Every day, when I look in the mirror and brush out the ‘bed head’, I feel a great sense of contentment. I feel better about my self. Dr. Wasserbaur (who I nicknamed Superwoman) has tremendous skills such that I have to tell people I had hair transplants. Even then, the look is so natural many need some convincing. The procedures were painless to me and the aftercare period was not challenging and not very long.
I have the highest regard for Dr. Wasserbaur’s skills and I highly recommend her and the procedure. Pricey though it is, there is a whole lot of bang for the bucks.

From beginning to end, my hair transplant experience and follow-up were an overall 9 out of 10! Dr. Wasserbauer and her team have made me very happy and improved my life. I was so impressed by how the doctor and staff were super well coordinated, a beehive of efficient activity. They definitely make people's lives better with improved self-confidence. We only live once, and I am thankful I decided to take charge of my hair loss!

Looking for hair restoration?

Why Dr. Sara Wasserbauer?

I’ve just experienced Dr. Sara’s restoration and must genuinely share why I recommend it.

Being coordinated by her staff to find the right day that fit Dr. Sara’s calendar and mine went well, despite Dr. Sara being so popular and requiring planning ahead…

What made the most significant difference between my expectations based on what my friends have shared about their hair restorations with other hair restoration physicians and what I experienced with Dr Sara and her team are multiple items:

Communication
The clear and comforting communication was outstanding from my arrival, with verbal descriptions of what to expect and how the treatment steps would be completed during the day, and included a step-by-step guide to logically following the post-operative treatment at home.

Expertise
Technically, Dr. Sara described where she targeted to restore my hair with a handful of easily understood logical explanations as to how my hair restorations would best be placed and how the integration with my existing hair would be optimized.

Perhaps most comforting was that every single member of Dr. Sara’s staff, from the reception to the operating room to the follow-up advisor, was so good at describing and sharing what awaited me in each of the steps going forward throughout the day.

The team clearly advised as to how to best work through what I was to do at home in the next few days to ensure optimum growth and retention.

I have never been this moved by a physician, as well as every single member of a physician’s team, ever before!

Please understand that I have a great deal of experience with physicians, as my sister is also a physician. I’m very fluent in the challenges physicians face.

How did I find Dr Sara?
I didn’t find Dr Sara online or by guessing. I asked one of the physicians I trust dearly at home where I live as to which hair restoration physician was the best in the western states.

After thoroughly researching and contacting those my physician trusted in hair restoration, for which he worked as an intern, he recommended Dr. Sara Wasserbauer, who I can truly strongly recommend after experiencing Dr. Sara firsthand.

Dr. Sara’s offices are in the Bay Area in California, and a handful of hotels are minutes away from her offices. You can fly into either San Francisco or Oakland to experience perhaps the best hair restoration available in our entire country.

Enjoy the lifelong benefits:)
