“Excellence in Dermatology Health for Hair Loss”

I investigated many marketed solutions for hair loss; none of them made sense. I never considered hair transplant until it was explained to me by Dave. Dr. Friedman gave me an understanding and confidence that led to my hair transplant solution. I am so grateful to Dr. Friedman and everyone in his organization for their thoughtfulness and expertise.

“They are amazing!!”

I came in a couple months ago desperate for help. I'm a 19 year old female and I have severe alopecia areata, about 70% of my hair is gone. I came in for a consultation, their scheduling is flexible and Leslie is so incredibly sweet! I met with Dr. Friedman and Dr. McKenna and they are so understanding. We met for a consultation and they discussed all of my options. I'm doing laser and PRP and my hair is growing back! They treat me like family and I highly recommend these wonderful people!!

“A very comforting experience!”

The information was very informative. The staff is exceptional! They are all so caring and make sure the patient feels taken cared of. Dr. Friedman is very informative before the procedure. I would rate this place a 10/10!

“Great for 16 years”

My experience with Dr Friedman has been top notch. I have been seeing Dr. Friedman for 16 years and it has always been the best experience.

“Pressure free consultation.”

I feel I was given an honest consultation about my options. The office was very helpful and there was no pressure to undertake procedures. It truly was a learning experience and I feel more informed now to make my own decision on how to proceed. If I do decide to go ahead with a hair transplant I would feel very confident in working with Dr. Friedman.

“Got exactly what I wanted.”

I was surprised at how little pain there was. I was also amazed at how good a job they did. I feel so much more confident and like how I look.

“Fantastic, very smooth”

I had a robotic hair transplant. The explanation procedure and post op went smoothly, and the staff was very helpful.

“Great experience so far!”

So far its been very good and would highly recommend.

“very informative”

“informative”

“Excellent!!!!”

“Relaxed feeling”

Tells it like it is. Makes the process less scary and understandable. I tried other places but this has been the most honest and trustworthy place I have found. I am a returning client so that has to say something about how Dr. Friedman puts you at ease. I appreciate you and your staff for everything. Especially giving me my confidence back. Thank you!

“Very good so far.”

So far, so good...Only been 5 months post surgery so still waiting for main results which hopefully will show in another few months. Thanks, Mike

I really enjoyed Dr. Friedman and his staff. They were very knowledgeable and welcoming. Dr. Friedman did not try and sell me on anything. He was straight up, honest but very positive. I really appreciated his candor and willingness to help.

“Thorough consultation”

Dave sat with us for 45 minutes and answered every question. He made us feel very comfortable. Thank you!

“Great experience so far.”

Consultation was great. All my questions were answered and I am proceeding with the FUE procedure.

“Dr Friedman is awesome!”

The experience at Dr Friedman office was phenomenal. The staff is very nice and respectful, Dr Friedman was very informative and answered all the doubts and questions i had. He gave me his options and opinions and made sure i left without any unanswered questions. I will definitely be returning. He is awesome!

“Informative and Knowledgable”

Consultation was very informative and options were disclosed professionally. Felt like my best interests were accounted for.

“Painless procedure, emotionally and physicallt”

Dr. Friedman and his staff are professional, respectful, and highly skilled. Made my FUT as easy as possible. From the lead up to the surgery to the post-op care, everything went smoothly. All questions answered and no issues with the procedure. Painless and quick healing through the following of his detailed post-op care instructions.

“excellent”

excellent

“informative”

very good

“Very informative and helpful visit.”

Appreciated the info and willingness to offer multiple options. Thank you!

“GReat”

Fantastic Experience

“Good overview of options”

The consultation was very informative and helpful in making the right decision. I didn't feel any pressure to make a decision that I wasn't ready to make.

“Amazing”

very detailed and really took the time to help me make an informed decision

“great”

great

“Good all around experience”

Having one through this twice before, I found the doctor and staff gave great service and made a real effort to answer questions and anticipate problems. Will be back next year.

“A life-changing experience”

I was very self-conscious about my hair loss, and dreading what I knew was coming based on family history. Dr. Friedman provided me with the opportunity to slow down the clock, and he restored a lot of self-confidence in my appearance that translated into many other areas of my life. He was realistic, scientific, and fair in his explanations, time, and clinical service. I recommend Dr. Friedman's team and I was happy with my experience. His staff was professional and knowledgeable. Recommended.

“Stood out among the crowd”

I met with other doctors and companies. They either couldn't be bothered to give me a quality pre-visit or talked down the competition with a "we know better" air. I didn't trust them.
Dr. Friedman took the time to give me an honest, in-depth diagnosis and was thorough and sincere in his explanations. Gave his honest opinion, but never made me feel forced into a choice. I felt he cared about the best results, nothing else. I put my trust him and couldn't be happier with the results!

“Id do it again. The process is magical..”

From the front desk to the the nurses and Dr. This is one of the best medical providers Ive ever been too,
It was a tough decision, but in the end it was all worth it!!

“Hair Restoration”

My experience was absolutely awesome!

“Incredible Consultation”

I have had two FUT procedures in the past (not in the Phoenix area) and was looking for an office to do a third. Have spoken with several Drs and assistants for recommendations and fees.
The experience with Dr Friedman, David McKenna, and the staff was exceptional! They took much more time than I expected and were completely transparent in their recommendation and pro/cons of other treatments. Most impressive was the length of tenure of the staff. Virtually no turnover after many years.

“Well worth it.”

Couldn't be happier!

“I am glad I did it”

Everything was great, if the new hair grows as well as the procedure than life will be good. Dr Friedman and his staff did a wonderful job the day of and Dave answered all of my questions every time I called him ( on his cell ! )

“Great results!”

I was losing hair fast and Dr. Friedman did exactly what he told me, and I am very satisfied with the results.

“Great experience”

Everyone was super friendly and helpful, had a great experience.

“great overall everyone was friendly and helpfull”

great

“Not in a rush”

I appreciated the time taken to sit down with me. I never felt rushed like I do at a lot of other places.

“Worthwhile”

Doctor and team know what they are doing, had a great experience and if ever needed will use them again. Happy to refer them as well.

“outstanding”

great and caring doctor. has a great rapport with his staff

“Helpful navigation”

Great experience and would recommend to anyone who is experiencing hair loss

“Attention to detail”

I have had a prior transplant by another doctor that was successful. However the procedure was very bare bones and there was little attention to detail and very little follow up or steps to ensure success. The amount of pain and discomfort was greatly reduced with Dr. Friedman and their comprehensive systems create much more confidence is greater success.

“Excellent care”

Everything was great and explained well

“good”

discuss it well the plans

“wonderful and easy”

very easy going and very great experience.

“excellent”

very informative and helpful

“i freaking love it”

i will be writing a detail review of my entire experience on yelp so check that out.

“i could not be more pleased with Dr Friedman and his staff.”

I am very impressed with my entire experience.

“Great experience”

I was very apprehensive about undergoing this process. I felt at home discussing my desired outcome. Dr. Friedman and staff were very understanding and attentive. Pending results, I'm very pleased with my experience. Regardless, I'm some happy that I chose Dr. Friedman for my procedure. Thank you.

“Exceeds all expectations!”

I live in Hawaii and researched many doctors nationwide and was fortunate to find Dr. Friedman in Scottsdale, Arizona. From the very first phone call, through the consultation, through the procedure itself(FUT beard transplant), and even now in the post operation treatment the staff has been amazing! Dr. Friedman and his esteemed associates are informative, accommodating, and truly are professionals. I could not be more satisfied with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Friedman!

“Excellent!”

From the moment I walked in the door being greeted by Leslie, the experience was awesome. The whole staff of nurses, Dave and of course, Dr Friedman were professional,caring and knowledgeable.

“Amazing!”

Dr. Friedman and his staff took the time to make sure the job was done completely!

“Comprehensive, thoughtful care”

Staff took the time to explain all the options including pros and cons in advance. They didn't make decisions for me, just simply answered questions and gave advice. I really appreciated that I was in control of the process.

The procedure was exactly as described and I felt well cared for throughout. Again, the staff have been very considerate and clear. Dr. Friedman was great and I would recommend him highly.

“I could not be more pleased”

I have had two hair transplants at the Scottsdale Institute with Dr. Shelly Friedman. I admit that at first I was nervous and cautious about the procedure. I took 9 months to research, make additional visits to their office and consults on the phone with the Staff. Everyone was very patient with me.
Both surgeries went exactly as planned and explained. There were no surprises.
As far as the results go, I could not be happier. Dr. Friedman and his Staff are true professionals!!

“excellent”

very professional. very patient friendly,will recommend to others

“Awesome experience...”

Just had the surgery yesterday, so I haven't seen the results yet, but I've gone from nervous about the procedure to really excited to see the final results. The staff answered all my questions from the first visit. They never pushed me to make a decision, and once I was ready they were there to help out. Everyone was delightful the day of the surgery and they made me feel very comfortable. Most importantly though, during the 8 hours we were together, it was clear that the entire staff working on my procedure was 100% focused on nothing but my results. This includes Dr Friedman, who was laser focused on me. Knowing that he has done this 15,000+ times, I knew I was in good hands.

“very pleased”

I was treated well throughout the process. The team was professional and helpful. Well run office. Overall good experience.

“very good overall”

have faith in their direction for me

“Very happy”

I feel very blessed to have found Scottsdale Institute for Cosmetic Dermatology. They are great. They are very knowledable and continue learning themselves. The office staff are fabulous! My experience has been excellent and successful. My hair is now growing and the thinning has stopped. Thank you

“very professional”

i have had 3 other procedures at other facilities. This by far has been a much better experience. Dave - was great and was available 24/7. Dr. Shelly knows what he is doing and it is obvious he is deeply experienced and knows exactly what he is doing. I must say that once i was numb, it was easy. there was discomfort and pain with the numbing process but nothing i could not handle. His staff is courteous and friendly and accommodating. Not sure i will need another procedure, but if i did, i would be back here in a second! Now i just have to wait for the results. i'm very satisfied and would recommend Dr. Shelly Friedman to anyone looking to get a hair transplant

“Better than I expected!”

I'd been anxious about any type of cosmetic procedures in the past. My experience with Dr. Friedman and the entire Scottsdale Institute for Cosmetic Dermatology staff has been far beyond all my expectations. I've appreciated every aspect of my visits and procedure process.

“I am happy with the outcome”

great

“Great experience”

Everyone mad me feel comfortable and welcome. Kind of like a mini family!

“Very satisfied”

Every step of the procedure was described in detail and there was much discussion about how the typical process goes. I am extremely confident in the work that I will have done, I just need to get some finances in order before beginning the process.

“Greatest Staff All Around!”

By far the most honest and helpful staff you could possibly ask for. From the first call with my consultant to the day of procedure and post procedure they gave me best service anyone can ask. Very experienced Staff all around. Could not have asked for a better experience as it is a tough decision to make. Thank you all!

“very educational”

overall it was good...got good information

“Really well done procedure.”

As pleasant a procedure as possible. Friendly, and caring, while being knowledgeable and professional. Follow up wash and treatment was great.
Thanks for a nice experience,
Rick Meredith

“Excellent customer service”

Dr. Friedman and Dave spent a great amount of time explaining all of my options and helping me select the best one for me. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Very impressed with the quality of service and pleased with the entire experience. This was my second treatment but first with Dr. Friedman and the entire experience was much easier this time.

“Great experience with the best in the business!”

Everything was clearly explained and went as planned.

I have nothing but good things to say. The doctor really took the time to go over my options in detail. I trust his Capillus recommendation and am excited to get started with laser therapy

Had a great visit and was surprised by how personable and professional the staff was. I would high recommend this institute to any of my friends or family.

“excellent”

Dr. Friedman was extremely informative and gave me options and in fact suggested that I do not do transplants at this time but try laser instead. This is far less expensive and non evasive.

“Amazing Doctor!”

The process was very easy from the consult to post day. Everything was explained to me multiple times to ensure I understood how the process was going to work as well as what I would expect long term. There was little or no pain in the whole procedure as I expected from what was told to me. The medical and nurse staff was amazing and was very helpful.

I couldn't say enough about how great this experience has been. The staff is absolutely awesome and David spent so much time with me explaining my treatment options and was so reassuring. I would recommend Scottsdale Institute for Cosmetic Dermatology 1000%!!

“Great experience!”

It was a great experience from the time I made my appointment to the time I left. Dr. Dav gave me clear explanation on my options and that lead me to make the right one. I would recommend this service for anyone in the future.

“Outstanding experiance”

Made what I thought was going to be a very complicated solution to my hair loss into a very simple process. Great staff, very friendly. Dr Friedman is very skilled and after my hair grew back in, it looks very natural and full.

“I was completely satisfied with the results.”

I was completely satisfied with the results that I received. The staff is always so nice, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend anyone to come to Dr, Friedman.

“Very Informative and Compassionate”

I am experiencing male pattern baldness at an early age. After getting a treatment done, I asked what the transplant options are. Upon asking for hair transplant options, Dr. Friedman showed me the two different methods along with the drawbacks and advantages. Dr. Friedman was very communicative and answered all of my questions. I feel more confident in my decision making of the operation as a result.

“Very thorough”

Great experience.

“Thank you for giving me hope!”

Great experience, the staff and Dr. Friedman are tremendously knowledgeable and encouraging. If you haven't seen a hair loss specialist for your condition, do yourself a favor and forget everything you know and come talk with the experts. I used to think hair restoration or hair loss prevention that actually works was out of my reach until I came in they explained all possible options.

“Appreciate his honest assessment”

I feel like he was very complete with his information and recommendation.

“Professional, extreme knowledge and kind”

Dr. Friedman and staff were professional and took the time to sit with me not only during my initial visit but follow up. I was not expecting how thorough they were. Dave was very clear with my options and even addressed my concerns to Dr. Friedman. They even took the time off their busy schedule to get back to me. Never once did I feel pressured to purchase anything. I highly recommend Dr. Friedman's office to anyone interested in knowing their options when it comes to hair loss.

“Positive and successful”

Dr. Friedman was very friendly and professional. He did amazing work and I had great success with this procedure. The staff and office are very friendly and helpful.

“Absolutely incredible!!!!!”

From consultation to follow-up visit everything exceeded my expectations!

“just an excellent place!”

Have been dealing with Scottsdale Institute for about four years as I purchased my laser cap here. Everyone I have dealt with has been excellent, and going above and beyond. Dave would respond to my queries on weekends, evening, etc. Just completed my transplant, and now waiting for the results. I know if I have any issues, all I have to do is call. Dr. Friedman
is an excellent surgeron, and the staff are the best. Thanks so very much!

“Excellent”

The Doctor was very thorough with explanation, diagnosis and treatment. He had a good bedside manner.

“hair transplant”

“Experience counts!”

Dr Friedman has been doing hair restoration for over 30 years. I've learned that experience is one of the most important factors in choosing a doctor. It's so comforting to know that he's done tens of thousands of these procedures. My procedure went smoothly and was much easier than I thought it would be. Would highly recommend him for anyone considering hair restoration.

Dr. Friedman is a lovely soul, an artist and a craftsman. He runs a great business supporting people's desire to be the best they can be. His staff is loyal, well trained, deeply experienced and very kind. We flew in to Arizona just to have hair restoration at the Scottsdale Institute. You cannot do better. You will be in experienced hands. And the procedure is an amazing feat of artistry and medical science. Look no further than Scottsdale Institute.

“Perfect Experience!”

My experience at Dr. Friedman's office was amazing! From the consultation, I was very well informed on my options and what to expect. The procedure went just as planned and I felt comfortable the entire time. Every member of the staff I came in contact with was well qualified, and took great care of me through the whole process. I am going to recommend this office to anyone seeking hair services.

“Great team!”

Great experience!

“Great experience!”

My experience with Shelly Friedman was a positive one. I appreciate him trusting me with what kind of procedure I wanted to do. The staff were also very great!

“Overall Great Experience”

Compared with my previous experience about 15 years ago with the competition, my experience with Dr. Friedman was 1000% better. Of course I knew better what to expect this time around so that was a factor, but from start to finish just a better way of doing it. It is still a surgical procedure so there is some pain, and inconvenience, with the first two weeks after the surgery the worst part of it. However, I followed the post-operative stuff pretty closely and everything healed up nicely.

“Amazing experience!”

Since the first day I met Dr. Friedman and his team, I noted their outstanding care and willingness to help and answer all my questions. They pay attention to all details. They are very professional. Everybody from the receptionist to the techs and nurses are amazing. Truly spectacular care!

“Great place, excellent care, friendly staff”

The drive over here was more stressful than any part of the procedure. Staff was great, and whole experience went just fine. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone,

“Great people and very professional”

This was my 3rd procedure and i am more than satisfied with the results. I would recommend Dr. Friedman and staff to anyone looking to have wanting to improve their quality of life. T

Looking forward to my next procedure if it is possible.

“two transplants, one happy patient”

I have used Scottsdale Institute for two FUT hair transplants about a year apart. Dr. Friedman and his team have been professional at every turn. The results are also superb. My scars in the donor area are minimal and unnoticeable (even the day after surgery) under my existing hair. The grafts are also doing well. My first transplant triggered significant shock loss, but the new hairs grew in and left me better off. I'm expecting that the shock loss is reduced with the second procedure.

“Excellent across the board.”

This has been a high-end VIP experience from the time I first previewed the website through the end of the surgical process. Every employee I encountered was highly competent and pleasant. This is an extremely well run operation and Dr, Friedman is at the top of his profession. Thank you. So far so good...

“beard implant”

fast and minamal pain. Staff made me fell comfortable

“Very professional”

Staff is quite knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions about your procedure

“Excellent Experience”

I did two procedures with Dr. Friedman and both were excellent experiences. He along with his entire staff were professional and knowledgeable. I was comfortable and kept informed throughout both procedures. Post procedure Dr. Friedman was available and answered any questions i had. The results and overall experience of the first procedure are what led me to get the second. Great results!

“Excellent and informative consultation”

Dave spent more than an hour during a free consultation to explain the whole process. Very thorough with the options and what to expect.

“Happy with how the procedure went and the attention I was given.”

My experience here has been nothing less than good.

“fill crown”

Great job by the entire team!

“Extremely friendly and professional”

Dr. Friedman is very personal and instills a great deal of confidence and trust. Is professional experience is exceptional and well explained on the website.

It is very obvious that he sincerely care about his patience and his staff.

I traveled all the way from Virginia to see Dr. Friedman because I firmly feel he is the most qualified Dermatologist for hair transplant procedure in America.

“ALL GOOD”

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Friedman and his entire staff. From my first conversation with Dave through the follow up visits, everyone was extremely friendly, helpful and willing to answer any and all of my questions. The procedure was painless, as was the recovery. The doctor is always available to talk and he and his staff walked me through the entire experience. Can't wait to see the final result as I have no doubt it will be, like everything else, better than expected!

“very imformative.”

well inform and detail.

“excellent experience”

Overall an excellent experience. Combining the expertise of Dr. Friedman with a very friendly and extremely helpful staff has resulted in a wonderful adventure in hair transplant.
I was nervous going in and was made to feel very comfortable.
Would highly recommend Dr. Friedman and the Scottsdale Institute for Cosmetic Dermatology.
Dr. Neil Farber

“Much easier than I thought it would be”

If you've got the budget, and any kind of hair loss, you should go for it. I had no clue what options were available until a ready what certain movie / sport stars were doing. This clinic is right in the mix, treating both famous people and normal people. Everything was done extremely professionally. Highly recommended.

“Always a great place”

I had one procedure done a while back looking to do it again

“my hair loss visit”

doctor was very knowledgeable, and willing to take the time to answer any and all questions. everything was explained so that I was able to understand my options available to me. Thank you.

“Highly Recommended, Excellent experience”

Very pleasant calm atmosphere from the moment you enter the room. All the staff including Dr. Friedman is very attentive. I highly recommend having your procedure done here. This was my second visit. Very nice experience.

“Best in the Business”

Dr. Shelley Friedman has assembled an outstanding team in all positions of his organization. The level of competence that everyone exhibits is excellent. It truly takes a team to perform all that is involved in hair restoration and this team exceeded my expectations.

Dr. Friedman is clearly a leader in his field and I felt a high level of trust with him right away. He has extensive knowledge and experience which he shares willingly, anticipating questions before they are even asked. All surgical activities are explained, pre and post operations materials are very well documented, and I felt prepared on the day of my surgery.

I highly recommend Scottsdale Institute for Cosmetic Dermatology, you will have a great experience and take pride in the results.
