Paul J. McAndrews, M.D. is a Clinical Instructor of Dermatology at the USC School of Medicine, teaching the residents the latest advances in hair loss and transplantations. Dr. McAndrews also lectures extensively to other physicians throughout the United States on the etiology and treatment of hair loss. Dr. McAndrews has a private practice located in both Pasadena and Beverly Hills, CA. Unlike most hair transplant surgeons, Dr. McAndrews was formally trained in a residency on hair transplants and the pathophysiology of hair loss.
Dr. McAndrews formally learned the art of hair restorations during his dermatology residency at the distinguished USC/LAC Medical Center. He was honored with the distinction of Chief Resident. He also received years of professional training under the mentorship of Dr. M.B. Corbett, who is known as one of the early "pioneers in the field of hair restorations". In 1996, Dr. Corbett asked Dr. McAndrews to join him as a partner in his practice. Dr. McAndrews has since taken over Dr. Corbett's practice that was limited to the field of hair restorations.
Dr. McAndrews does not believe automating the hair transplant process is in the best interest of the patients. He believes, as the surgeon, he should be involved in every step of the entire hair transplant process. Therefore, he insists on doing only one patient a day so that he can devote his undivided attention to his patient from start to finish.
Dr. McAndrews is the senior medical advisor of the International Alliance
of Hair Restoration Surgeons and recommended by the American
Hair Loss Association.

Question:
Why do I need to use Propecia and Rogaine? Why can’t I just have a hair transplant?
Answer:
The simplest way to answer these questions is to give you an analogy. A dentist does not prevent tooth decay, toothpaste prevents tooth decay. Just like tooth decay, hair loss is a progressive disease for men […]
