Letter from Dr. Steven Chang
After 34 wonderful years of practicing hair restoration surgery, I have finally decided it is time for me to retire.
This decision has not been an easy one. Looking back over the past three decades, I feel nothing but gratitude. It has been an incredible privilege to care for thousands of patients and to witness the confidence and happiness that hair restoration has brought to so many lives. Along the way, many of you became much more than patients—you became friends. Your trust, loyalty, and kindness have meant more to me than words can express.
As I begin this new chapter, it is very important to me that my patients continue to receive the highest quality care. For that reason, I am delighted to announce that I have entrusted my practice to Dr. Marc Dauer.
Dr. Dauer is an outstanding hair transplant surgeon whom I recommend without hesitation. He is not only exceptionally skilled and artistically talented, but also a genuinely kind, honest, and compassionate physician who always puts his patients first. I have every confidence that he will continue the tradition of excellence that has been the foundation of this practice, and I know you will be in excellent hands.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives over these past 34 years. Your confidence in me has been one of the greatest blessings of my career, and I will always cherish the memories and friendships we have shared.
Although I am retiring from practice, I will always be grateful for the opportunity to have served you. I wish each of you and your families good health, happiness, and all the very best in the years to come.
With my deepest appreciation and warmest regards,
Steven C. Chang, M.D.
