What women say about our patients' hair transplants! Dr. Lindsey | Lindseymedical | McLean | VA | DC

I’m 14 months post operation and the transplant worked great, hair has grown in thick and I barely remember what my hairline looked like before. The procedure didn’t hurt too much, I was back in the office in 10 days and the scar is not noticeable at all. Dr Lindsey and his team did an incredible job, made the process easy and are a fun group to work with. Can’t recommend them highly enough! Before and after pics attached.

I had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Dr. Lindsey for a hair transplant procedure, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, Dr. Lindsey and their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise.
The procedure itself was smooth and virtually painless, thanks to Dr. Lindsey’s skillful hands and meticulous attention to detail. They patiently explained each step of the process, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout. The clinic’s facilities were modern and hygienic, adding to the overall positive experience.
Post-surgery, the results have exceeded my expectations. My hairline looks natural and full, blending seamlessly with my existing hair. The recovery was quicker than I anticipated, and I attribute this to Dr. Lindsey s comprehensive post-operative care instructions.
I highly recommend Dr. Lindsey to anyone considering a hair transplant. Their expertise, compassionate approach, and outstanding results make them a top choice in the field. Thank you, Dr. Lindsey, for restoring not just my hair but also my confidence!

I first spoke with Dr. Lindsey about two years ago on preform another procedure. My first procedure was about 15 years earlier and the scar from the donor site was a big concern for me.
Since I live in New York, Dr. Lindsey took the time to have several conversations and video conferences to discuss my case.
He was professional, honest, and upfront of what he can do and what I should expect.
After doing my research, I made an appointment to see Dr. Lindsey in person in November of 2024 to review my case and discuss scheduling a procedure. Meeting Dr. Lindsey and his staff was a great experience. Dr. Lindsey provided me with all the information I would need for the procedure along with great pre-procedure guidelines to enhance the results that other Dr.’s didn’t have. He also went over all my options and recommendations for staying in VA after the procedure, since I would be coming from New York. I left Dr. Lindsey’s office with a sense of relief that I found the correct doctor!
In August of 2025, I traveled from New York a day before the procedure, checked into my hotel and met with Dr. Lindsey to go over the preparations and the procedure for the following day.
The day of the procedure, Dr. Lindsey explained everything in detail as he was preforming them, was there every step of the way, and the procedure went great. His staff couldn’t have been more comforting and helpful. In fact, after the procedure one of the staff members actually drove me back to my hotel in there own car and made sure I was ok before leaving.
I stayed in VA till the stitches were removed; about 7 days. Each day I would see Dr. Lindsey and he took the time to preform my post-procedure care and review my scare from the donor site. He even came to the office HIMSELF on a Saturday and Sunday and actually returned phone calls quickly HIMSELF; try to getting from another doctor!
If you’re looking for a doctor to have a procedure done, Dr. Lindsey is the right choice. He is upfront, no B/S, and HONEST! He really shows he cares about what he is doing and gave my case his personal attention every step of the way. Wendy and his staff were amazing and they really made a sincere effort to put my mind at ease and be helpful in every way. I couldn’t be happier with the procedure and my results!

The only thing that matters in Hair Transplant is the end result. I HAD a receding
Hairline, No More! After 6 months I look 10 years younger, and can’t wait for the final results in the next 6 months. Dr. Lindsey is a meticulous medical professional, and artist all wrapped up in one. I wish I would have met him sooner. My end result expectation has been exceeded half way thru the process….

Prior to meeting Dr. Lindsey I researched and consulted with a number of doctors. After speaking to Dr. Lindsey and conducting a live video consultation I was immediately impressed with his friendly easy going personality and professional demeanor. Dr. Lindsey was extremely knowledgeable and provided me with honest and truthful information concerning hair transplant surgery. Dr. Lindsey never tried to pressure me. I had several email communications and follow up calls with him prior to my in person consolation. Dr. Lindsey always responded in a super timely manner and was always available for me. I knew right away he was the doctor for me.
I along with another family member met with Dr. Lindsey for a consultation at his office. Upon meeting Dr. LindseyI felt the same way about him. He had a great friendly personality and I felt super comfortable at his office. His staff were all super friendly and very professional. The day of my surgery was great. Dr. Lindsey made me feel like I was at home. Again, his staff was outstanding. Dr. Lindsey truly cares about all of his patients. Dr. Lindsey also provides great follow up care. I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Lindsey. I feel like I gained a friend, not just a doctor performing a procedure. In my opinion he is the best in the business.

I’m very pleased with the result of my hair transplant with Dr. Lindsey and would recommend him to anyone. Dr. Lindsey gave me a hair transplant in January of last year, and he restored my hairline in a way that gave me a natural looking result.
Dr. Lindsey gave me comprehensive care from beginning to end, during my initial consultation he answered all of my questions and explained what kind of result I could expect, the estimated number of grafts and the price.
On the morning of my surgery, I was astonished at the team of specialists that quickly assembled in his lab to perform the dissection of small hairs and the actual transplant. After some numbing injections, my surgery was pain free, and Dr. Lindsey and the staff checked on me continually throughout the procedure, wanting to ensure that I was comfortable and felt ok. Wendy was especially kind and chatted with me throughout the procedure. Thanks Wendy! About six hours later, I was on my way home with a head full of baby hair transplants and feeling hopeful.
I had follow-up appointments with Dr. Lindsey after the procedure where he monitored my progress and answered my questions. He was always super kind and compassionate during our interactions. I could look in the mirror and see how much the thickness of my hair line changed after a few months, and then six months later, and then twelve and even eighteen months after that, my hairline continued to evolve and look thicker and fuller over time.
My only regret is that I didn’t have the procedure done ten years ago. Thank you again Dr. Lindsey!

I am writing this review to thank Dr. Lindsey and his team. Dr. Lindsey provides clear pre and post-op instructions and the procedure really is quite painless. He and his team really care about their patients and ensuring the best possible outcomes. He has great bedside manner and really cares to make it as enjoyable an experience as possible. For me, it was a great experience. There is about a week of recovery post-op then you’re back to your usual routine. If this is something you’re considering I highly recommend Dr. Lindsey and his team.

The surgery went very well, the team worked meticulously and we ended up with more grafts than anticipated. The first week or so post surgery – it was a little painful, but was expected – I visited Dr. Lindsey nearly everyday for follow up and cleaning of the surgical area. Now it’s a little over 6 months, I already had lots of hairs growing out with more to come in the next couple of months.
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lindsey not only because he is a great and honest doctor, he also has an amazing team – you rock, Wendy!

A few months ago, I noticed that I needed to take action since my hairline was receding. I started doing my research about hair transplants. I knew I could go overseas to have the surgery, but I was not confident in doing that. As I looked online to see of any doctors recommended, I noticed Dr. Lindsey’s name come up. I went to his website and started watching his videos which were very informative. I truly believe his videos helped me understand the process of having the surgery and gave me the confidence to go through with it.
On the initial interview, Dr. Lindsey was very open and honest with me. He told me what to expect. He told me where I needed hair and where I didn’t need it. On the day of the surgery, he and his lead tech, Wendy, put me at ease and I felt I was in the best hands. There was minimal pain from the shots. The surgery took the time expected (as told beforehand). I was able to go home and rest. Overall, Dr. Lindsey did a great job.
I would recommend Dr. Lindsey because he is good at what he does. He is professional and is direct and honest with you. I like his bedside manner. He is truly the best doctor in the Washington DC/Virginia area. I would highly recommend him.

When I began considering a transplant, I did a fair amount of research that ultimately led me to Dr. Lindsey. I was immediately impressed with his upfront, straight to the point approach. While I was waiting for a consult my first day, I overheard him speaking to another prospective client. He told the client that due to low density in the donor area, it was simply impossible to provide the kind of coverage that the gentleman was requesting. He laid out several alternative courses of action, but was extremely frank and honest with him. I was very impressed; Dr. Lindsey clearly prioritizes honesty and long-term patient satisfaction.
Throughout the process, Dr. Lindsey was extremely responsive and available. I never felt pressured or like I was being sold on something. He made his recommendations, answered my questions, and left me alone to shop around and make my decision. Both before and after booking my appointment, he usually responded to emails within 30 minutes.
The procedure itself was painless and I was extremely happy with the results. I would (and on several occasions, have) recommended Dr. Lindsey and his excellent staff to anyone.

At the time of my initial consultation with Dr. Lindsey I was very nervous and scared of what to expect. Dr. Lindsey was very blunt and to the point throughout the consultation, but answered all of my questions very thoroughly.
Shortly after the consultation, I went ahead and scheduled the FUT procedure, and as of posting this review at month 6, I am completely blown away with the better than expected results!! The entire staff put me at complete ease throughout the entire journey.
Although I don’t believe I’ll require an additional procedure, I would seriously not hesitate to go back for a 2nd one if ever needed.

I scheduled an online consultation with Dr. Lindsey and met him in person once before scheduling my hair implant surgery (Note: during COVID and from Connecticut). The results of my surgery was significantly better than what I expected. The staff at Nova Hair does not waste any time. I was told to come in at 7am and was promptly started on. I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Lindsey, Wendy, and the rest of the staff. Dr. Lindsey is what I call a true patriot. He makes you very comfortable and constantly checks on you. He has such a great personality, definitely keeps you entertained throughout the five hours. He speaks very softly and polite – great bedside manner. For Wendy, oh my, she is such a sweetheart. She made me feel comfortable, let me use the bathroom when I had to. She helped put on and zip up my jacket. Since my wife was holding our son, she had another staff Komai, walk me to my car. Dr. Lindsey has over 20 years+ of experience with little to no infections and always great results. If you’re looking for the best results and a kind hearted, professional team, Dr. Lindsey should be your first and last stop. Take it from me, you will not be disappointed!

I recently received hair transplants to resculpt my hairline and fill in thinning regions, and Dr. Lindsey did a truly incredible job. Him and his team (especially his assistant, Wendy) made the process as comfortable as possible and ensured that I was involved every step of the way. The operation itself was basically painless (we even had a pleasant discussion about music during!), and the recovery process has been a breeze with their guidance. I am happy to report that the results are better than imagined and have already boosted my confidence/self-esteem. And, as a bonus, the donor scar on the back of my head is very discrete.
I highly recommend Dr. Lindsey and his team at the Nova Hair Center regardless of your hair needs. They are allies of all types of people and are talented, caring professionals.

I visited Dr. Lindsay last summer to discuss a concern I had with hair loss in the top front of my head. He indicated that I was not a candidate for a transplant and suggested that I have my thyroid checked.
I took his advice, and had several labs done. Turns out I indeed had an endocrine issue and ended up having surgery to remove two tumors. As a result, countless symptoms – including hair loss – are improving exponentially. My hair feels thicker every day.
Dr. Lindsey could have easily brushed certain factors aside and took me on as a patient. But his honesty with me showed how much he cares about his work and his patients. I tell everyone that it was the hair loss doctor who figured out I had a problem; my GP hadn’t up until that point! But thanks to him, I insisted on the labs which got me on the path to a better quality of life.

After a month long research, I did my transplant with Dr Lindsey and I am very satisfied with the procedure and the post op care that was given to me. In the initial consultation, Dr Lindsey answered all my questions and was upfront on what to expect from the procedure. I was very happy with the post care. Wendy did a great job in cleaning the transplanted area in the first week.
Dr Lindey examined the scar and the transplanted area throughout the first week after the procedure. Eagerly waiting to see the results and very happy for choosing this clinic

If you’re considering hair restoration I STRONGLY recommend Dr. Lindsey and his practice. I think a lot of us in that consideration phase find a ton of information online, but it doesn’t get real until you have your consultation. You’ll find that Dr. Lindsey is very direct and clear about what to expect, timelines, pricing, and pre- and post-op care. Come with questions; he will have answers.
I had a couple consultations with doctors around the DC metro area, including Bosley. I met Dr. Lindsey after these consultations and knew that I trusted him WAY more than the others with my scalp. The others immediately pitched additional costly and painful-sounding treatments like PRP, pigmentation tattoos, etc. I can’t stress this enough — when you’re sitting in the consultation chair, you will feel vulnerable; those high pressure tactics probably work a lot of the time at those other practices. Not Dr. Lindsey. He is very clear and realistic and he spares you the “hard sell.”
One other thing that sold me on Dr. Lindsey is that he has dozens of videos on Youtube demonstrating proper after care, showing previous cases, and — importantly — his gardening and arborist interests. He is a consistent personality. He takes pride and enjoyment in laying out a garden (or a scalp) correctly, so that there is a natural gradient among the rows of trees (or hairs). He makes it clear that vigilant after care is crucial to the success of “OUR hair” and made sure that I was 100% clear on what to do when I got home. He cares very much about your successful outcome and he is clear about what you can do to make the outcome as successful as possible.
So I signed up. Once things were rolling, I got to know more of the staff at this practice. Wendy is very experienced and so supportive during your procedure and for follow-up care. Kumari is caring and kind. Lala is meticulous and constructive. And not a moment is lost during the procedure: there is a full team of 6 or so professionals working like a well oiled machine to prepare your follicles from your graft all morning, and another team doing your implantations with Dr. Lindsey meanwhile.
I live in the DC area and went to several follow-up walk-in cleaning sessions to make sure my post-op healing was going well in that critical first week. Everything went perfectly. I’m 3 weeks past the procedure now and can’t wait to see how I progress over the next 12 months or so.

I was very apprehensive about having restoration surgery. I don’t like needles and have a low pain threshold. Dr. Linsey performed hair restoration surgery on my son two years ago and his hair now looks amazing. I was so envious.
My son researched and interviewed hair restoration doctors for 6 months. Both he and my wife traveled 4 hours to meet with Dr. Lindsey. After their meeting, there was no doubt, he was the obvious choice. My son scheduled his surgery during that visit.
Knowing this, I mustered up the courage to have the surgery and it was not what I expected. Both Dr. Linsey and Wendy were very gentle and informed me on what was happening at every step. The procedure was no big deal. As with any post-surgery, I had swelling and pain for a week. It is now behind me and I have my hair back. Thank you, Dr. Linsey and team! You guys are the best!!

6 months post transplant and couldn’t be happier that I trusted Dr. Lindsey and his team with my hair. Got somewhere between 2300-2500 grafts, one session.
The surgery itself was pain-free, with only minor discomfort during the numbing process. I did have face swelling for a week or so after the surgery but no pain or other issues recovering.
Including a picture from the night before my surgery and two showing how my hair looks today at 6 months. I’m 33, relatively young, but I think without this transplant I would have been shaving my head by now. Thanks Dr. Lindsey!

Note, I am writing this on my wife’s google account. I was recently seen by Dr. Lindsey for a semi-emergency matter to close a wound on my head. First, I was never treated by Dr. Lindsey but “on his day off” he met me in the office to perform the closure. I was a “first time patient” but you would never have known; his bedside manner, professionalism and his positive outlook on everything made me feel like a long time established patient and personal friend. My recovery was fast with very little pain and upon return to have the sutures removed….I was greeted with professional and friendly staff. My appointment time was 10:15, I arrived at 10:00 and Dr. Lindsey came out to greet me In the waiting area at 10:05 to take me back to the treatment area – NEVER received this type of service by any doctor! If he treats first time patients like this, I only wish he was a primary care physician, I certainly would change. Dr. Lindsey is an asset to the medical profession that others should strive to emulate. I appreciate everything you did for me, thank you.

Great service and Dr Lindsey is the real deal. He let me know upfront what he could do for me specifically. The good doctor told the truth only, no fake promises.
Even though we couldn’t work together this time his honesty and integrity is well appreciated. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Dr. Lindsey met with me for a virtual consultation and was very professional and straight forward. I appreciated his not “beating around the bush” and presenting clear options for potential treatmen . He was also clear in explaining why other treatments would not work for me. He encouraged me to get my parents involved for their opinions amd reassured that there was no rush to have any procedure done, but to take my time in making my decision one way or the other.
