THE GABEL DISTINCTION

Northwest Surgical Hair Restoration is dedicated to state-of-the-art hair transplantation. Dr. Steven Gabel, founder and medical director of Northwest Surgical Hair Restoration, has been recognized internationally as a leader in the field of hair transplantation. He is committed to giving his patients the best hair restoration results with the highest level of personalized service and care. Dr. Gabel takes great pride in the artistry to create a natural result and to achieve the desires and goals of his patients. He and his staff are committed to helping patients regain their confidence and positive self-image through hair restoration.

We know the decision to have a hair transplant is a personal and private matter which requires confidence, trust, and confidentiality. So then what makes up the Gabel Distinction, and why choose Northwest Surgical Hair Restoration and Dr. Steven Gabel to perform your hair transplant?

RESULTS

The bottom line when choosing a physician to perform your transplant is the results. Our goal is to make the transplant look as natural as possible. The axiom, “if it’s not natural, it’s not good” applies more so to hair restoration surgery then any other cosmetic procedure because the hair is the most visible part of a person’s appearance. Since Dr. Gabel is committed to quality results, and not quantity, he only transplants one patient a day to completely focus his attention on that patient for the day. Dr. Gabel, (not a technician), is involved in every step of the procedure. In order to achieve the most natural results, he uses cutting edge technology including binocular microscopes, customized instrumentation, and meticulous surgical techniques to ensure maximum growth and survival of the grafts. Recently, Northwest Surgical Hair Restoration was evaluated and, due to our outstanding techniques and results in hair restoration, Dr. Gabel was invited to join the distinguished Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians and the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons. He is the only physician in the U.S. Northwest who has been invited to join these prestigious organizations.

INTEGRITY

Dr. Gabel believes that the doctor-patient relationship is a vital element in the decision and success of the procedure. Every consultation is performed by Dr. Gabel who discusses the patient’s expectations and desires. He does not employ salesmen or consultants. Once the patient’s goals are reviewed, Dr. Gabel develops a treatment plan that is customized for the patient. If a transplant is not the best option, he will honestly and ethically discuss other treatment options with the patient.
