Steve Gillen
Steve Gillen, “the Gillenator” began researching HT techniques 29 years ago with very few doctors performing the procedures and very limited information available.  He has counseled and worked with virtually thousands of HT patients worldwide and as a result, seen the work of hundreds of HT doctors.  He has been the recipient of four separate HT procedures for approximately 6900 grafts beginning at a Norwood class 5.  Steve has worked inside the clinic both on the business side and lastly as Vice-President/Director of Patient Care.

Steve decided in 2004 to engage the field as an independent patient/consumer advocate in the Washington DC area with the financial support and endorsement of several renowned physicians.  At that time, “the Gillenator” as many of us know him, began assisting hairloss sufferers online.  With 25 years of research and observations, Steve offers unbiased patient education and counseling in the field of surgical hair restoration.  On a limited basis, he also offers patients and victims of the industry counseling and mediation without charge to the patient.

TeeJay
I am an average guy that was profoundly affected by hair loss. When I first started to lose my hair at the age of about 24 or 25, I was extremely emotional and vulnerable. I tried numerous shampoos and lotions to fight my hair loss, and, in a move of haste and impatience driven by raw desperation, had a hair transplant performed by a large-chain hair transplant clinic.

Not until I found The Bald Truth and Spencer Kobren, in early 2008, did I truly understand how to view and treat my hair loss with intelligence, rather than emotion and vulnerability. The Bald Truth has given me an education in hair loss that has re-exposed my natural intelligence that was so heavily suppressed by my desperation.

For a living, I am a mechanical engineer. I design and analyze linear motion mechanical subassemblies. I am currently single, and I live in Los Angeles. [Read More About TeeJay]
