“Dr. Friedman, Dr. Chu, Brittney, and the staff here, are all absolutely amazing! I had been debating having a procedure done for years but never found the right team and location until I found Scottsdale Institute. From setting up the initial consultation all the way to surgery day, Brittney was extremely helpful with answering all questions, scheduling around my busy schedule, and being available as I needed! Very knowledgeable and friendly! The Dr’s and staff were very transparent, supportive, knowledgeable, and realistic with the procedure and what to expect and honestly surpassed other places I had consultations in what we felt possible. The procedure day was painless and pleasant and the staff took incredible care of me throughout the day, I felt fully equipped to handle the post care immediately. Their follow-up and welcoming me back for check-ins post op, along with the open line of communication, make sure I never feel like I have unanswered questions. There is always someone available to help. Can’t thank and recommend the team here enough!”

“I came for eyebrow restoration and the whole process has been amazing from start to finish. Brittney & Amie in the front are both incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Brittney spent a lot of time with me in my initial consultation & was amazing at answering my questions. Dr. Tam Chu came in shortly after and went over everything in great detail. Dr. Chu is so experienced and knowledgeable in her specialty, she made me feel so comfortable, safe and well informed. The day of the procedure itself she was AMAZING from start to finish. She explained every step to me during the procedure so I knew exactly what was happening in real time. She made me feel so at ease. I did my aftercare with Alicia, she was so gentle and thorough demonstrating how to clean my sutures and brows. I’m so thrilled with how they turned out & the attention to detail by Dr. Chu to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with my whole experience and the end result. If your considering a transplant procedure this is definitely the place to go.”
UPDATE: “This update is long overdue, it’s been about 4 months since my procedure. But I have to add in here how amazing the team here was in helping me through my post op recovery. Alicia really went above & beyond for me in the 2 weeks during my recovery. I have no idea what I would have done without her, she was just absolutely amazing. Brittney was always available to answer my questions during my recovery, and I’m the type that has a lot. She was so kind and informative during my recovery. I highly recommend the Scottsdale Institute to anyone considering this type of procedure. My eyebrows are growing in again and I am absolutely thrilled with the results.”

“I had my first hair transplant in 2008 with Dr. Friedman and the results were amazing. Decided to go back in 2023 and was even more impressed with the staff and especially the results. Dr. Friedman and Dr. Chu along with all of there staff are in a class by themselves. I would highly recommend anyone who is considering this process to please speak to them first. You experience a level of professionalism rarely seen these days.”
