New York Magazine ‘Best Doctors’ 2014
New York, NY — Robert M. Bernstein, MD, MBA, FAAD, a Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Columbia University in New York and a pioneer of modern hair transplant procedures, is honored to be included in New York Magazine’s annual ‘Best Doctors’ issue for the fifteenth consecutive year.
Dr. Bernstein’s two decades of innovation in surgical hair restoration and dedication to his patients at Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration have earned him placement in the 2014 edition of the peer-nominated ‘Best Doctors’ issue. The respect his colleagues have for his work stems from his leadership and dedication to advancing and improving surgical hair restoration procedures.
When asked about being included in his fifteenth consecutive issue of ‘Best Doctors,’ Dr. Bernstein said:
“As a physician, my singular focus is on providing patients with the best options for hair restoration and performing transplant surgery using the most advanced technologies. That my work is recognized by the medical community is both an honor and a testament to how far the field of hair transplantation has come since the days of the older, less-natural procedures.”
Dr. Bernstein’s latest work is in developing new applications for robotic hair transplant procedures. In addition to being among the first in the world to incorporate the ARTAS® robotic system into his practice, Dr. Bernstein was the first to describe Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) into the catalog of medical literature. He has authored over 60 publications in scientific journals. These writings have fundamentally transformed the hair transplant procedure from older “plug procedures,” into a modern technique that uses precise robotic technology to extract individual follicular units from the back of the scalp. A recent historical review of dermatologic surgery published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology recognized Dr. Bernstein’s work in FUT and FUE as allowing “the once elusive goal of a completely natural-looking hair transplant to finally be achieved.”
New York Magazine’s ‘Best Doctors’ issue is a special annual edition of the acclaimed magazine which contains a directory of the New York area’s best physicians selected by Castle Connolly, Ltd. Physicians throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are nominated by their peers as part of their survey and must also pass a rigorous physician-led review of the doctor’s qualifications, reputation, skill in diagnosis and treating patients.
