Out-Of-Town Patients

Dr. Griffin makes sure that his patients feel right at home when they visit him, this same courtesy is extended to his out-of-town patients as well. At the Griffin Hair Restoration Center of Philadelphia, we go the extra mile to ensure our out-of-town patients receive the best experience before, during, and after their procedures. This page will provide a brief guidance on the facilities we offer for our patients who are travelling in from other parts of the country or overseas.

Online Skype Consultation With Dr. Thomas Griffin

Dr. Griffin, a highly experienced board-certified dermatologist, realizes how important it is for prospective patients to choose a reliable doctor when it comes to hair restoration procedures. He wants his patients to feel content with their choice of doctor before they make plans for traveling. All prospective out-of-town patients have the option of arranging a Skype consultation before they travel. This will allow our staff to prepare for your procedure accordingly.

For out-of-town patients, it is also important that they send in appropriate photos ahead of time. Similar to the video consultation, this will allow Dr. Griffin to properly examine your conditions and suggest/plan the best procedure for you. After consulting with Dr. Griffin, if you are satisfied with his advice and wish to go ahead, then further information will be sent to you which will outline exactly what you will be required to do to prepare for the procedure or surgery.

How Long Should You Be in Town Before and After the Surgery

The doctors and staff at the Griffin Hair Restoration Center of Philadelphia strive to deliver the highest quality experience. That’s why we are always available to offer our assistance and answer any questions before and after the procedure. In fact, many procedures and surgeries actually require that patients return to the office after some time so the doctor can assess the outcomes of the procedure or surgery and address any concerns.

So, how many days prior to the surgery should one arrive? It is advised that patients who are traveling to Philadelphia arrive at least one day in advance. Procedures are usually scheduled for early morning (around 7:30 a.m.) and arriving the day before the procedure will allow you the time to settle down at your hotel and reach the office on time the next morning. In addition, coming in early will also give you the chance to see the center’s representative Nick for a haircut before you go for your procedure.

Generally, you will have to come back and see the doctor the day after the surgery for a postoperative checkup. This will ensure everything went as planned and will also give you the option to discuss any post-surgery unexpectedness. If you have undergone a strip procedure on your head, you will be required to revisit one week after the procedure and then again three weeks later. These additional visits are needed to remove the sutures as the healing can take up to three weeks.

And, don’t worry, you won’t be bored here! There are a variety of things to do in Philadelphia, so we are sure you’ll have a pleasant time. We invite you to look at the suggestions at the end of this page for a list of restaurants, discounted hotels, and places to visit in Philadelphia.
