I highly recommend Dr. McGrath at McGrath Medical to anyone needing a hair transplant. Military- and Veteran-friendly doctor, supportive of service members and women.
His whole team is outstanding and professional!
The hair loss I have comes from my father’s side of the family. Mine was worse than any of my past family members, including my father and grandfather. My hairline started receding when I was in the military at age 19. Every year after that and at the age of 36, the sides of my hairline kept receding and eventually the sides and crown became almost gone and extremely thin. The middle lower end of my hairline always remained, only very little but still there. I finally decided to do something about it in 2023. After being on the combination medical therapy for 2 years and 2 months some of the lower middle hairline and back top of the crown darkened a little bit came back in these areas but not enough to not have a transplant.
I chose McGrath Medical after researching several different doctors in the US and the before-and-after results of individuals who had a similar situation to mine. I went to 2 other doctors before choosing and they both heavily pushed doing a FUE robot procedure, which I was against and avoided. It was hard to find individuals who had a similar case to mine also, being a Norwood scale 6 with severe hair loss and just having very little hair in the middle part of my hairline area.
Most people would probably work on their crown first, but that was not what I wanted. I know I need two procedures for more coverage and to fix the crown. I ended up doing 4,421 grafts total as an FUT to my entire hairline, including all sides and frontal, zone 2 as well. There was zero pain from the needle for numbing because of the medication I took just before being numbed, which I also appreciated.
This week makes it the 12th month after getting the FUT and the results are outstanding. It’s nice to be able to look in the mirror and see a complete hairline now, instead of severe loss like I had in the past. Looking at older pictures when I was a Norwood 6 and now it doesn’t even look like me.
I enjoy taking pictures with my family and also getting our family photos taken annually, (something I avoided in the past, but now look forward to scheduling), so the hairline was the most important for me when making a decision.
I will be coming back for a second transplant on my crown in the future (1-2 years).
For me, it’s not about what anyone else sees, but how I see myself when I look in the mirror and go about my day. I don’t think anyone wants to be bald headed.
I am thankful and glad I had the opportunity to get a hair transplant here.
The McGrath team is the best! The scheduling and consultation process was super easy and efficient. Their pricing was very fair and straightforward with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons. It’s only been 5 months since my procedure and the results already look incredible. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I’d be happy to be a reference for anyone considering it and who has questions!
Great team. Honest service and didn't feel like I was getting upsold/misinformed on anything.
Dr. McGrath and his entire team have been absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the very first consultation, it was clear that this wasn't just a practice focused on results — they genuinely care about making every patient feel comfortable, informed, and confident throughout the entire process. I came in to bring my hairline down, and nearly two years later, the transformation still catches me off guard in the best possible way. The results look completely natural, and the work has held up beautifully over time. Looking back at old photos is a constant reminder of just how life-changing this decision was — the only regret I have is not doing it sooner.
I was experiencing thinning in my hair on the top back and top front. I began taking the product in June of 2025 and by December, about 5 months, my hair is back and better than ever! I actually also have less gray hair!!!!
I began losing hair on my crown in my mid 20s, and it eventually reached a point where I couldn't conceal it anymore. Eventually, I decided to start buzzing my head because it seemed like the next best option for me. I remember looking at myself in the mirror, thinking, "This could be the last time I ever see this version of myself". It wasn't just about hair; it was about my identity.
About 5 years later, I had decided to look into a hair transplant. I began researching current procedures, cost, results, and everything I could find. There were plenty of doctors out there offering the service, but turns out there are only a handful in Texas that are certified through the American Board of Hair Restoration (ABHRS) and McGrath Medical is one of them.
They were certified, but what really pulled me in were the YouTube videos that Steve did. One of them was a mock 1:1 consultation where he answered questions about the procedure. It felt very unscripted and organic to me. It was apparent that McGrath was passionate about what they did and were more interested in helping people realize their goals. During my procedure, the staff were nothing but kind and accommodating from the consultation through post-op. Its been about 6 months since my procedure and the McGrath team remains committed and checks in periodically.
The graft transplants generally take 8-12 months before results really show, although the results were so successful I already have a full head of hair. It honestly looks better than when I was 18, which I never would have believed until I saw it with my own eyes. Some ask me, "why did you do it?". I did it for myself, and that's the honest truth. I wanted to look in the mirror and recognize who I was again.
For those who are unsure and are still researching, do yourself a kindness and see Steve with McGrath Medical for a consultation. At the very least, it will give you solace knowing your options. It may end up being one of the best decisions you ever made, like it was for me.
Dr. McGrath went out of his way to be accommodating and to make sure I had all of my questions thoroughly answered. His staff is friendly and the overall experience was very professional. I am glad I went here for my procedure.
After extensive research, I chose to go with Dr McGrath, It's been a few years ( I wanted to wait to review ), and I could not be happier...even better than expected.
Extremely natural results and lots of great, subtle (you look younger) comments from others!
The staff is extremely meticulous and goes out of their way to make me feel comfortable.
would I use again and recommend.....ABSOLUTELY!
FYI, I am too vain to post photos or videos 🙂
Dr. McGrath is truly a blessing to the hair transplant world. I previously had a hair transplant at Advanced Hair Restoration in Beverly Hills, California, but the results were extremely disappointing. I waited over a year after the procedure and saw no new hair growth at all—my frontal hairline was still a disaster, with absolutely no improvement.
I decided to seek a second opinion and came across Dr. McGrath. From day one, Dr. McGrath and his staff were absolutely amazing. The doctor personally took the time to sit with me and explain what could realistically be achieved, without any pushy sales pitch. That honesty and professionalism made my decision easy.After undergoing a second hair transplant with Dr. McGrath, I began seeing new hair growth as early as the second month. My frontal and side hairlines looked incredible, and I genuinely felt like I was back in my 20s again. All thanks to Dr. McGrath and his wonderful team.
About a year after the procedure, I noticed a few ingrown hairs at the back of my scalp. Dr. McGrath promptly had me come into the office and took care of them right away, which further shows how attentive and caring he is toward his patients.
I highly recommend Dr. McGrath to anyone considering a hair transplant. Keep up the great work, Dr. McGrath and team!
Went to Dr. McGrath 6 months ago due to VERY noticeable hair thinning. After our first visit, he prescribed a compounded medication for me. They took photos of my head/hair as a reference point for my follow up visits. After 6 months of taking the medication religiously as prescribed, the improvement in how my hair growth looked and the "quality" of my hair was amazing. They took pictures again and then showed me the "before and after" pictures. I left there feeling so much better, more confident, and happy. I will continue with the medication and return in another 6 months. I fully expect to be closer to having the hair I had before the thinning began. Thank you Dr. McGrath!!! You and your staff are wonderful.
