Clinic Overview & Credentials
When Ahmad Naimee decided to address his hair loss, he spent months researching physicians before choosing Miami Hair Institute. "Picking the right doctor for this procedure is crucial," he explains. "Dr. Nusbaum is a true artist, and he produces amazing, natural-looking results."
That artistic approach to hair restoration emerges as a consistent theme among patients at this Coral Gables clinic, which has performed over 20,000 procedures since opening in 1984.
What immediately distinguishes Miami Hair Institute is their comprehensive diagnostic process. Unlike clinics that rush to transplant solutions, the physicians here begin with detailed scalp examinations using advanced imaging tools like Fotofinder computerized photos and dermoscopy. They measure hair mass, conduct blood tests for underlying conditions, and even analyze individual hair shaft characteristics down to the micron.
"We can detect the earliest signs of hair thinning before it becomes apparent to the human eye," explains Dr. Bernard Nusbaum, who leads the practice alongside his son Dr. Aron Nusbaum. This early detection capability proves crucial since medical interventions work best in early stages.
The clinic's proprietary Mosaic® technique for transplantation reflects their attention to detail. Rather than simply moving follicles, they carefully consider angle, direction, and natural grouping patterns. As patient Brian Liriano describes, "Dr. Nusbaum really took the time to design my hairline based on my recession, age, face shape, and graft count. I describe a hair transplant as an art rather than just another procedure."
The surgical process itself typically takes about 7 hours for a 2,000 graft case. Patients remain comfortable under local anesthesia and can watch movies or use their devices during the procedure. "The surgery and post-op did not hurt," reports patient O Alonso. "The results are incredible - so natural that there's no way people can tell if a procedure was done."
Beyond their clinical work, the institute maintains strong academic ties. Both Nusbaum physicians serve as directors of the Hair Transplant Education & Research Program at the University of Miami Department of Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery. This positioning at the forefront of research has earned them recognition, including the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery's Golden Follicle Award.
While the physicians drive the artistic vision, patients consistently praise the supporting staff's role in the experience. "The staff at his office is amazing," says Liriano. "They are fun, supportive, and make you feel at home as soon as you walk into the door." He notes that his consultation advisor was herself a previous patient who could share her personal journey.
Despite consistently positive reviews, there are factors to consider:
However, as Liriano reflects, "I will say the cost maybe higher than going to another country to do the same procedure, but I would say every dollar that I spent was worth it. The amount of support and how comfortable everyone made me feel gave me peace of mind."
With over 50 years of combined experience, the Nusbaum team has helped shape modern hair restoration techniques. Their focus on natural-looking results, comprehensive diagnostics, and academic research has earned them a place among the top 25 hair transplant surgeons worldwide according to patient advocacy groups.
Yet perhaps their most significant achievement is maintaining the delicate balance between technical excellence and artistic vision - treating each patient's restoration as a unique creative challenge rather than a mechanical process. As one patient summarized in a recent review, "Dr. Nusbaum was extremely helpful in creating a hairline that is practical and satisfying at the same time... I describe hair transplant as an art rather than another procedure."
