Quotes

  • "I think it's important to be paying attention to patients and be really moving forward with a solution before they're seeing visible hair loss or hair thinning." - Kate Willis NP-C
  • "We don't actually notice hair thinning until about 50% of our scalp density is lost, which is a lot." - Kate Willis NP-C
  • "Maybe stress management doesn't have to be complicated. Maybe it means you just walk around the block in your neighborhood and listen to the birds and just unplug for 20 minutes." - Dr. Polly Watson
  • "Everybody deserves to feel heard - when people really start to notice a clinical difference, they've already lost quite a bit of hair." - Dr. Polly Watson
