Dr. James Harris

I'm 67 years and 3 months old. For over 30 years, I've had a receding hairline, about two inches lost up front, and steady thinning on top, especially at the part and crown. It gradually crept up over time.

After research, I compared two local hair restoration clinics: Restore Hair and a well-advertised competitor. Both quoted fair prices and similar graft numbers for my desired results.

Joe, Restore Hair's client advisor, made the difference. He was exceptionally patient, professional, and caring, answering every question via email, text, or phone promptly and thoroughly. I initially favored the other clinic, but Joe's clear explanations, thoughtful incentives, and emphasis on Restore's strong guarantee won me over. His ongoing follow-up showed genuine commitment to my comfort with the choice.

The Day of the Procedure
I met Dr. Harris that morning. He carefully mapped my new hairline, confirmed the graft count, and approached everything with a calm, approachable demeanor. No rush, no impersonal feel. It immediately eased my nerves. They then moved me to the operating room, shaved my head, and prepared.

A minor issue arose: my blood pressure was elevated at first, likely from too much morning coffee (which I hadn't realized could impact it). The team quickly addressed it with medication, and we proceeded smoothly. Joe stopped by beforehand to wish me luck. A small gesture that meant a lot.

An IV helped me relax into a light twilight state; much of the day passed in a doze. They paused for lunch midway, then continued. I woke later to a staff member ensuring I was alert enough for a brief aftercare video.

Recovery So Far
Day one focused on protecting the grafts, no touching or bumping. They provided a shower cap under a surgical cap for safety. (Note: sedation means no driving home.)

Pain was minimal; I never needed the prescribed meds. Mild swelling appeared over the next three days, settling around my eyes before resolving by day four or five. Some tightness in treated areas was expected.

I'm now on day seven post-op. Progress looks normal: scabs are shedding in donor and recipient areas, and grafts feel secure. I continue gentle care with daily pours of water and baby shampoo mixture, avoiding direct shower spray.

Bottom Line
You're never too old for this. I deliberated for years before deciding. It's a significant investment, but seeing the potential for a fuller hairline in the mirror makes me feel it's worthwhile. I decided that I'm worth the self-care at even at this age.

I highly recommend Restore Hair. The entire team from the front desk to OR techs was friendly, competent, and attentive. Special thanks to Dr. Harris and staff for outstanding care throughout.

If you're considering a hair transplant and debating clinics, my experience points strongly to Restore Hair. You're won't be disappointed.

One tip for those researching: Dr. Gary Linkov's YouTube videos offer clear breakdowns, honest insights, before-and-afters, and real cases. Very informative.

Wishing you the best in your hair journey. I'll update in 9–12 months or sooner if anything notable arises.

This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The transformation after just 4–6 months was incredible, and people still can’t believe how my hair looks. The staff and Dr. Harris were first class in every way—from the consultation to the surgery and the post-surgery care. I would highly recommend Restore to anyone struggling with hair loss.

I couldn’t be happier with my hair transplant experience with Dr. James Harris at Restore. From the very first consultation to the final follow-up, the entire process was handled with professionalism, transparency, and genuine care.

Restore Hair is a first class operation. I've had three surgeries there with outstanding results. Dr. Harris is very forthright in describing what is and what is not possible with hair transplant surgery, which I appreciated very much.

Exceptional Experience with Restore Hair Denver & Dr. Shelly Lovitt

I recently completed a 2,200-graft no-shave FUE procedure at Restore Hair Denver with Dr. Shelly Lovitt, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations.

I am now 1-year post-op from my 3800 graft FUE procedure, and I can say with confidence that my entire experience with Dr. Harris and his team at Restore has been fantastic. From the initial consultation with Joe, to Derek and the team of techs

Dr Harris and his team are world class. Best in the world. Done 2 surgeries and highly recommend!

The entire team did a fantastic job! You can tell they are always striving for excellence. Joe communicated well, the OR staff was kind and caring, and Dr Harris exhibited great skills. Thank you team!

I had a procedure done about a week ago with Dr. Harris and his team/staff which included Derrick, Claudia, Jas, Ale and Keila. They were all very professional and welcoming. 

Terrific experience from start to finish. Dr. Harris and his team and top notch and made me feel very comfortable in an otherwise stressful situation. Lawrence and Katie were so great
