One of the longest-running hair restoration practices in the New York metro area (2+ decades), with a documented conservative-planning philosophy that Reddit patients repeatedly cite as donor-supply preservation rather than maximum first-pass coverage.

Sources & verification

Compiled into the 2026-08-14 dataset build. No separate re-verification date is recorded for this clinic. Placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: PHONE CORRECTED. The submitted number +1 516-973-2661 does not appear anywhere in the authority records or on the practice's live site; the ABHRS registry, the ISHRS directory and the practice's own homepage all give (516) 214-6776, and the site uses that single number for the Garden City, Manhattan and New Jersey offices. Phone replaced. LOCATIONS CORRECTED: the site lists Garden City NY plus Manhattan and Short Hills NJ offices and describes Boston as a market served, not an office — 'Boston, MA' was removed from the city field. EMAIL ADDED from the ABHRS registry record ([email protected]), an authority-body source, not a guessed domain pattern. STAFF CHANGE CONFIRMED: Dr. Robert H. True is labelled '(Emeritus)' on the practice's own homepage — buyers searching 'True and Dorin' will not be operated on by Dr. True. Dr. Dorin is the sole current surgeon. Google 3.9 on 25 reviews is a thin sample; treat with caution in either direction. No price is published anywhere on the site.
