Roy B Stoller, DO

Almost three months after my transplant with Dr. Stoller and I returned to his office for a follow up and PRP treatment. I decided to give my hair a boost with PRP, just as I am starting to see results from my transplant!
When I arrived, as usual, I was met by Dr. Stoller himself in the waiting room, where he outlined the couple short steps involved in the procedure. Dr. Stoller assured me the previous day that the PRP procedure would be quick, painless, and that I would be ready, with no pain or visible signs of any treatment, for my important 8:15pm business dinner that same evening. Everything went as planned, and my dinner was very successful!
Every time I visit Dr. Stoller’s office, I’m greeted, not only, professionally, but as a friend of the practice by every member of his staff.

After extensive research and «shopping around» for a reputable surgeon I chose Dr. Stoller. This is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Simply life changing. He was referred to me by a dear friend who had a transplant a few years ago (Apparently he knew several folks who also went to Dr. Stoller and couldn’t be happier). His hair looked so natural that I decided to book a consultation with Dr. Stoller. BEST decision ever! I like the fact he has his own practice. I visited some of the larger hair restoration companies and didn’t want to be treated like just a number. Dr. Stoller’s office feels clean, comfortable and yet very «New York» upscale. Well worth the trip into the city. He is an amazing plastic surgeon and really tells it how it is and lays it all on the table. He set realistic expectations and quite frankly I’m surprised with how amazing my hair has already grown in. I had both my hairline as well as my eyebrows done. Dr. Stoller is super approachable and made himself available to answer any questions i’ve had since the procedure. Couldn’t recommend this Plastic Surgeon enough!

This is a response to Stoller’s comment below on my original post of my experiences with him.
I would like to give anyone reading these posts or considering a procedure with Stoller some perspective, a little more detailed background to set the scene. i find this necessary because Stoller, once again, is VERY selective, in his recounts of the procedures he performed on me, and once again his story line is filled with contradictions and is counter-​intuitive to what he is claiming at the present time. What is accurate is and unchanged is how quickly he reminds us that he’s a plastic surgeon and a teaching Doctor.
I had my first procedure in 2007 when I was 27 years old with Bosley, procedure went great as I had approximately 1500 grafts transplanted. This was an FUT procedure, as they did not have ARTAS, and FUE was still not widely used as it is today. With an FUT procedure they remove a strip from back of head, approx. from ear to ear, suture you up, and the technicians dissect the follicles into the grafts that will be placed where necessary, the Doctor makes the sites for the hair to be transplanted. As I said it went great within a year all the hair grew, the scar was not even noticeable (almost impossible to find even when I tried to locate it), a good scar should not be more than ¹⁄₈^th of an inch, which was the thickness of mine.
Appoximately 1 and half years go by and I decide to have another procedure, just to tighten up hair line and add more density, I approach Bosley to see if the had any any promos (this was 2008 and Economy was in recession I was in between jobs), they weren’t able to offer me something in my budget, so I decided to try Hair Club. I met with Sales person she told me how great Dr. Holzer was, who would be performing my surgery, and was able to give me a great price. I set appointment up a few weeks from our meeting.
About 3 days before my procedure Sales person calls me up and tells me that Dr. Holzer is no longer with company and that a new Doctor, by the name of Stoller would be performing my procedure. Wasn’t much I could do, I already payed and it was only a couple days away.
I get to the office midtown NYC about 7 am, meet with Stoller, NOT ONCE DURING OUR CONSULT DID HE ASK ME ABOUT PREVIOUS PROCEDURE OR EVEN LOOK AT BACK OF MY HEAD TO SEE WHERE DONOR SCAR WAS!!! Of course I’m to blame as well for not stating the obvious, but you have to understand I thought it was understood, and plus my initial experience with hair transplant at Bosley went so well, I was assuming the same here.
Now here’s where Stoller contradicts himself, in his comments below to my original post he mentions that he did not properly remove the old scar during the excision of new donor strip because hair around scar isn’t viable for transplant– I would understand this theory except for the fact the YOUR SCAR intersected with the OLD SCAR, but you see this wasn’t done purposefully it’s because the good Doctor Stoller DID NOT KNOW THE OTHER SCAR WAS THERE! If he had then I assume this approach would have been taken, commen sense you cannot keep making new donor sights underneath original sites for FUT. Of course SToller’s scar was horrible, it ranged from ½“thick (the good side!) to ¾ «.
When i went back to have stitches removed he gave me the usual response of „it’s not fully healed yet, give it 6 months or so“, about 3 months go by and I know this thing is a problem, based on what I experienced at Bosley, I call him, schedule an appointment. when he sees the scar his words exactly,» YEAH WE CANT LEAVE YOU LOOKING LIKE THAT”, so we schedule an appointment a few months in advance so that we can let it heal until about the 7 month mark.
Without getting into further detail I had approximately 3 scar revisions from 2009 – 2012 with him, everything ranging from altering scar to transplanting hair in scar, NONE OF WHICH MADE AN ONCE OF IMPROVEMENT, SOME OF HIS EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES WORSENED MY SCAR! Now I mentioned how rude some of his staff were as our relationship worsened with the failed attempts to correct my situation, yet he felt obligated since he too has a hair transplant and would not like to have 1″ thick scar in the back of his head. One employee in particular, her name is ROSA, was the secretary at the time, she purposefully never told him when I left messages and refused to schedule my appointment, always stating it was booked or they were not taking appointments that far in advance when I wanted to schedule more than 1 month ahead for procedures. Rosa would not act on her own like, obviously, so Dr. Stoller was instructing her to do this, he also mentions why I didn’t contact him on his cell, I did contact him on his cell numerous times.
To summarize, from my experiences with him when things got very complicated and were not as straight forward as a Simple first time hair transplant, he failed and fell flat on his face.
GET HAIR. GET FACE. GET HAPPY.(yes, actually on his website!?)

Last year, at 28 years old, I noticed my hair starting to thin. My father was totally bald and so I started to become worried; knowing that it runs within my family. I did a lot of research and found Dr. Stoller. I must say that I am very fortunate to have found him. He’s honest, upfront and made me feel very comfortable. He put me on Finasteride (which by the way I was afraid to go on because of all the negative reviews on side effects), but may I say I have experienced none of those side effects and has given me great results. If your having problems with your hair I would highly recommend Dr. Stoller!

My good Friend had hair transplant surgery with Dr. Roy B. Stoller and he looks fabulous! And I recently had a consultation for Fraxel Laser and the staff’s attention to detail is outstanding! I highly recommend Dr. Roy B. Stoller, if you are in NYC stop by and see him. He is the best!

I’m a 32 year old male, who like many men my age, are beginning to see the initial signs of aging in my physical appearance. In particular, my hair started noticeably thinning a couple years back and being someone who has always prided myself in looking my best, this was very troubling to me. Instead of continuing to stress over it, which probably further fueled my hair loss, I decided to take action and look into hair loss prevention/​restoration possibilities. I was referred to Dr. Stoller by my general physician, as he was known to be one of the few doctors in NYC performing hair transplants using state-​of-​the-​art technology. I went in for a consultation with Dr. Stoller and when he told me I could have a full head of hair for a very long time and wouldn’t have any permanent scarring, I was completely sold. The following week I had the procedure and I’ve never looked back. What really stood out to me throughout the entire process was the high level of care and hospitality exhibited by Dr. Stoller and his team. They made sure I was comfortable every moment of the procedure and also followed up with me the next several days to check on my progress. Dr. Stoller’s office happens to be right around the corner from mine, so even now, many months after my transplant, I pop in to see him frequently to express my excitement of watching my own hair regrowing again. I couldn’t be more pleased and would encourage anyone who is suffering from hair loss like I was to take action – it will change your life!

Having African American hair Dr. Stoller was still able to fix my problem by using laser cap and PRP, I’ve grown at least 30% more hair. I highly recommend him amongst minority’s! Thank you Doc

Today I would like to share with you my dream made reality. As some of you may know, four years ago I was diagnosed with cancer, which ultimately lead me to a series of surgical procedures and chemotherapy treatments. With the grace of God and the medical treatments I received I was able to overcome the cancer in my body. But not without first sufferings losses to both my self esteem and professional career due the cancer. As the side effects of chemotherapy combined with hereditary traits and aging had contributed to a highly accelerated rate of hair loss. However I thought to myself «I have much to live for, to share and enjoy precious moments with my family and friends, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and my overall emotional well-​being». With that said, I decided I owed it to myself to reverse the signs of my hair loss. I explored many options, and was unclear which option to choose until, by odd chance, I met Dr. Roy Stoller. Based on what I learned of his clinical procedures and experience performing successful hair rejuvenation through the use of modern techniques were the key motivators in my decision to choose him to fulfill my dream of hair transplant procedure. Thanks to Dr. Stoller and his skilled staffs use of Artas robotics my treatment results are progressing successfully. I’m just counting the days as I watch my natural hair pattern grow and fill in fully as once before.
