Getting here from Harwood Heights
The drive
I-294 south to 22nd Street — about 11 miles, roughly 22 minutes outside peak hours.
Where we are
2425 W. 22nd Street, Suite 205C, Oak Brook, IL 60523. Open in Maps
Parking
On-site parking at the building, so you are not hunting for a space before an appointment that runs several hours.
Coming down the Tri-State puts you on our doorstep by design: the I-88 interchange sits just south of the practice, and 22nd Street is the first turn after it. The one thing worth planning around is the toll plaza traffic either side of the interchange, which is the only part of this route that varies much by hour.
Cook County patients reach us from the near-west suburbs, and the trip is almost always shorter than expected — the county line sits a few miles east of the practice. It is worth knowing because the twelve-to-eighteen month follow-up schedule is what decides whether a result is assessed properly, and that schedule only works if getting here is unremarkable.
The follow-up is the point.
The reason we keep returning to follow-up rather than technique: the surgical day is the part that is most similar between clinics, and the twelve months afterwards is the part that is not. From Harwood Heights, those twelve months are a series of short drives.
At this distance the follow-up schedule stops being a logistical question at all. Grafts shed at two to four weeks, regrowth starts somewhere around months three to six, and the result is judged at twelve to eighteen months — and every one of those checkpoints is a short drive rather than a day out.
Two procedures, for Harwood Heights patients as for everyone else.
FUE hair transplant
Units taken one by one from the safe donor zone and placed at the angle and density the surrounding hair already has. No strip harvesting, and no linear scar to plan a haircut around.

PRP therapy
A medical option rather than a surgical one, used alongside or instead of a transplant depending on where your loss actually is.

Your donor area is finite.
There is a ceiling on this and it is worth knowing before anyone quotes you a graft count. Published ISHRS guidance describes a safe lifetime donor supply of roughly four to eight thousand follicular units, varying widely between individuals. Spending it early is the one mistake in hair restoration that cannot be corrected later.
Sometimes the right answer is to wait, or to stabilise medically first. If your loss is still moving quickly, operating into it is how people end up with an island of transplanted hair and a gap opening behind it. That is a real outcome of a consultation here, and it is not a lost sale.
