Hair Transplant Mentor

Dr. Jerry Wong

Dr. Wong is my doctor and he did an absolutely outstanding job for me and my hair restoration journey, as you can see from the forty pages of hair transplant progress photos I’ve posted. Dr. Wong is a humble, quiet man that simply loves to put his head down and get to work.

My name is Joe Tillman and I used to post on the various online discussion boards as “Jotronic”. I am the ORIGINAL Hair Transplant Mentor™. I had two hair transplant procedures in the early 1990’s with a doctor in Knoxville, Tennessee that ended up giving me disastrous results. I lived through the nineties and early 2000’s with a pluggy hairline, two wide donor scars, and not much else and by the time I was 31 years old I was a full blown NW6.5.

Dr. Wong is one of the early pioneers in performing hair transplant megasessions. These are hair transplant procedures which can harvest over 3500 grafts in a single procedure while not causing any additional problems for the patient. This allows for more coverage in one procedure along with more density and less time to final results if multiple sessions are necessary. Dr. Wong performed the first hair transplant megasession that smashed through the 5000 graft ceiling with an exact graft count of 5825 intact follicular units.
