Hair Medicine Institute | Spencer Hawkins, MD

If you’re reading these reviews, you’re probably agonizing over recent or ongoing hair loss. You’ve tried everything being sold on the Internet and haven’t had any results. Maybe you’ve been to other hair loss “specialists”, purchased hundreds of dollars of their recommended products and still no results. Believe me, I’ve been there. My hair started falling out by the fingers full every time I shampooed. Nothing I tried stopped or slowed down the hair loss.
Fortunately, one day I happen to mention my situation to the PA at my dermatologist, and she said “I know exactly who you need to see. I sent my mom to Dr Hawkins and she’s had great results. I promise I wouldn’t recommend him unless I had firsthand knowledge of his successful treatments.”
I saw Dr Hawkins and like other reviewers, he diagnosed LPP. He thoroughly explained the condition and answered all my questions. Most importantly, he didn’t provide false hope or unrealistic results. I followed the treatment plan and after 3 weeks I noticed a great reduction in the amount of hair falling out, and at 6 weeks I was no longer losing any hair.
Don’t waste your time going to hair loss clinics that offer “Free Consultations”. They normally sell everyone the same products regardless of the specific reason for the hair loss. But not all hair loss is for the same reason. So you should choose someone that can medically diagnose your specific cause and treat you individually. Dr Hawkins is that someone.
On a side note…At the end of my first appointment, Dr Hawkins said “here’s my cell phone number that you can call if you have any questions or concerns”. On Saturday of that week, I received a call from the Pharmacy that there was a question about one of the prescriptions. I sent a text to Dr Hawkins, assuming he would reply on Monday. To my great surprise I received a reply from him 20 minutes later....on a Saturday!
Stop searching and make the appointment now. You’ll be happy you did.

Before coming to the Atlanta area, my dermatologist in DC recommended Dr. Spencer Hawkins @ Hair Medicine Institute to me for continuation of my hair restoration regimen due to effects of thyroid history and post menopausal hair thinning. My consultation appointment went very well and Dr. Spencer was very thoughtful as we discussed my particular situation. After spending time helping me understand a viable option for me we decided to go the medication route. I have been so happy with my results this past 10 months. I have also been very pleased with my care. Dr. Spencer makes himself available to me in between appointments and is always happy to answer any questions as needed. I absolutely recommend Dr. Spencer and the Hair Medicine Institute for any hair/scalp concerns. They can help.

I am extremely pleased with the outcomes I have observed since commencing treatment with Dr. Hawkins. In early 2025, my hair began exhibiting signs of thinning around the facial area, prompting concern due to noticeable large patches. To mitigate the appearance of bare spots, I resorted to applying eye shadow as a temporary solution. However, I soon realized the need to schedule a consultation, as the situation had become untenable. Following the initiation of treatment by Dr. Hawkins, I began to notice improvements after the first six months. Now, approaching a year of treatment, the results are nothing short of remarkable!!! I have included photographs to illustrate the efficacy of the treatment. It is essential to recognize that hair thinning is a treatable condition, and Dr. Hawkins is a highly competent professional who can provide the necessary assistance. At 65 years old, I have observed that women in my age demographic tend to struggle disproportionately with hair thinning, often due to hormonal imbalances or vitamin deficiencies. Fortunately, I sought treatment early and have achieved positive outcomes.

I was so frustrated by my post menopausal hair loss. I found Dr. Hawkins and he has made a tremendous improvement in my hair. He carefully went over all the treatment options with me and I decided to try an oral medication. It has worked wonders and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Hawkins is always available by phone or text for questions. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!

I can’t recommend Dr. Hawkins enough! After almost 2 years/2 other dermatologists and my LPP still getting worse, Dr. Hawkins dramatically improved my condition in just the first 6 weeks of starting treatment. He is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and answers every last one of my questions with complete honesty.
