Patient Reviews

Before coming to the Atlanta area, my dermatologist in DC recommended Dr. Spencer Hawkins at Hair Medicine Institute to me to continue my hair restoration regimen due to the effects of a history of thyroid disease and postmenopausal hair thinning. My consultation appointment went very well and Dr. Spencer was very thoughtful as we discussed my particular situation. After spending time helping me understand a viable option for me, we decided to go the medication route. I have been so happy with my results this past 10 months. I have also been very pleased with my care. Dr. Spencer makes himself available to me in between appointments and is always happy to answer any questions as needed. I absolutely recommend Dr. Spencer and the Hair Medicine Institute for any hair/scalp concerns. They can help.

I can’t recommend Dr. Hawkins enough! After almost 2 years/2 other dermatologists and my LPP still getting worse, Dr. Hawkins dramatically improved my condition in just the first 6 weeks of starting treatment. He is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and answers every last one of my questions with complete honesty.

I am extremely pleased with the outcomes I have observed since commencing treatment with Dr. Hawkins. In early 2025, my hair began thinning around the face, prompting concern due to noticeable patches. To mitigate the appearance of bare spots, I resorted to applying eye shadow as a temporary solution. However, I soon realized the need to schedule a consultation, as the situation had become untenable. Following Dr. Hawkins' initiation of treatment, I began to notice improvements after the first six months. Now, approaching a year of treatment, the results are nothing short of remarkable!!! I have included photographs to illustrate the efficacy of the treatment. It is essential to recognize that hair thinning is a treatable condition, and Dr. Hawkins is a highly competent professional who can provide the necessary assistance. At 65 years old, I have observed that women in my age demographic tend to struggle disproportionately with hair thinning, often due to hormonal imbalances or vitamin deficiencies. Fortunately, I sought treatment early and have achieved positive outcomes.

Very thorough and thoughtful. The experience and care are very apparent. Would definitely recommend!

Dr. Hawkins and his team are second to none. Highly professional and skilled. He takes time to explain and answer questions at every step of the way. I started my treatment with medication and it was very effective. After one year of that plan, we decided that a transplant would maximize the results. Everything leading up to and on the day of the surgery was excellent. Dr. Hawkins and his tech team were clearly skilled and made every step comfortable. The post-surgery communication and availability were amazing. I will update my review when I am sure to report amazing results.

I’m so glad I found Dr. Hawkins. His consultation was thorough, and he took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. I truly felt listened to and understood throughout the appointment.

What I especially appreciate is his willingness to collaborate with my hairstylist to ensure I wear low-tension hairstyles that support regrowth around my thinning edges and crown. He even provided a detailed chart to share with her.

Dr. Hawkins is readily available whenever I need him, and I feel confident in his treatment plan moving forward.

I’ll be updating my progress over the next few months as I follow his recommendations.
