Parking
Parking is on site. A procedure day runs most of a working day, so arriving without circling for a space matters more here than at an ordinary appointment.
Route 83 does the whole job. It runs north-south through the western suburbs and passes within a block of the practice at 22nd Street, so there is no expressway merge and no toll on this trip at all. It is the route we most often describe over the phone, because it is the one that is hardest to get wrong.
DuPage County is where the practice sits, and the majority of the people we see live inside it. That has a practical consequence worth stating plainly: your follow-up appointments at three, eight and twelve months are a local errand rather than a planned trip, which is the single biggest reason people finish a treatment plan instead of abandoning it halfway.
The follow-up is the point.
Distance matters less than continuity. A transplant is judged at twelve to eighteen months, not on the day. From Wood Dale you can be examined, treated, and then actually seen again — at three months, at eight months, and at a year — by the physician who designed the hairline in the first place.
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 Wood Dale patients as for everyone else.
FUE hair transplant
Follicular units removed one at a time with a sub-millimetre punch and placed individually. No strip, no linear scar, and nothing about how you wear your hair has to change.

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.
The most useful thing a consultation can tell you is that it is too early. A hairline designed around a pattern that has not declared itself yet is a decision you cannot undo, because the donor hair spent on it does not come back.

Book an examination, not a quote.
If you are weighing this up from Wood Dale, start with an examination rather than a quote. Bring photographs from five and ten years ago if you have them — they show how fast the pattern is actually moving, which matters more than how it looks today.
