                    the greatest compliment and best introduction to Blaine Lehr, 
                    M.D. is a statement from O'Tar Norwood, M.D., one of the true 
                    pioneers in the field of hair transplantation (creator of 
                    the Norwood Baldness Scale, author of 1st two textbooks of 
                    hair transplantation, cofounder of the International Society 
                    of Hair Restoration Surgery, founder of the Hair Transplant 
                    FORUM International, and recipient of two of the highest awards---Golden 
                    Follicle Award and Manfred Lucus Award). Before he retired, 
                    Dr. Norwood stated, "Over the last 30 years, I have been 
                    associated with, worked with, and in fact trained many of 
                    the other leading hair transplant surgeons in the world. As 
                    the demand for my services increased , I knew I needed an 
                    associate, and I knew because of my reputation, I could choose 
                    anyone. I did not want to sell out to one of the large nationwide 
                    franchises. You have no control over their integrity or the 
                    quality of their work. I first began working with Blaine in 
                    1993. I recognized his natural ability immediately. Just as 
                    importantly, I found him to be honest in all circumstances. 
                    He is a hair transplant surgeon of the highest quality".
 Dr. Lehr now runs the Norwood and Lehr Hair Transplant Clinic 
                    in Oklahoma City where they utilize 100% microscopically dissected 
                    follicular units. At the N & L Clinic the patient is never 
                    sold to or pressured. Dr. Lehr stresses thorough education 
                    and understanding for his patients. He is completely up front 
                    about the positives and negatives of hair transplants in general, 
                    and an individual patients characteristics (degree of balding, 
                    caliber of hair, goals, and finances) in particular. Dr. Lehr 
                    believes in keeping prices very reasonable so that almost 
                    all interested patients can afford the opportunity to look 
                    better.  Dr. Lehr attended the University of Oklahoma Medical School 
                    where he received numerous awards including the Tom Lowry 
                    Award for ranking 1st in the class after the 1st year and 
                    the Mark R. Everett Award for the most promise in a 2nd year 
                    student. He was initiated into the Alpha Omega Alpha National 
                    Medical Honor Society during medical school. In addition to 
                    performing hair transplants, he is a practicing board certified 
                    dermatologist with additional expertise in dermatologic surgery 
                    and Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer. |
