Had a fantastic experience with everyone at WGHI here in the Fall of 2026! 1000000% professional, courteous, and cherry on top I even had a smidge of some fun along the way with a friendly and light-hearted Staff and Team! Most importantly, the job got done safely AND they maximized every ounce of donor area that I had to give. And while the results aren't final just quite yet, I know that through the teamwork and the follow-up that is in place, we will get to the desired Finish Line in the next handful of months. Thanks to everyone at WGHI for making this happen. And if you're on the "Fence" about doing this, just think like I did: "YOLO", and when you're ready, WGHI will be ready and waiting (and singing in the Procedure room hahahaha)!

Very positive. Just finished my procedure on Tuesday so can’t speak to final results but I was given excellent care and follow up from staff. If there is interest I will share updates on progress but as of today I feel well treated and with care and respect. Just to be clear, I paid the full price and was not offered any incentive to provide any review. They just asked that I’d consider posting a review.

I couldn't be happier with the results that I've gotten from my procedure just over a year ago. So much so, that I'm seriously considering a second procedure later this year to cover a small area in the back that couldn't be done at the time. It's probably been 30 years since I've had this much hair! I followed the directions I was given to the letter, take Finasteride daily and do the laserband and Rogaine foam to maintain... when I remember. Everyone was very professional, and the follow up has been amazing over the past year +. I'd strongly recommend We Grow Hair Indy!

Rarely do I take the time to leave a review, but in this case it felt necessary. I started reaching out to a few hair restoration clinics about four years ago, including We Grow Hair Indy. I've had very fine hair my whole life, and at this point almost all of the hair on my crown is long gone, and much of the hair in the bridge area was gone too. Based on my own research, I didn't think I was a great candidate for a transplant that would cover all of my balding area, and if it did, I thought it would look like a wispy mess. Unlike two other clinics that promised 7,000+ grafts based on pictures and aggressively pushed hard for deposits (via "limited-time discounts") before I could even meet with a surgeon, Darren at We Grow Hair Indy looked at my head in person, consulted with his staff, and gave it to me straight. Due to the thin, fine hair in my donor area, I wasn't a good candidate for an FUT transplant, as I suspected — my donor area was too thin and sparse. But Darren worked with me over the next few years to explore options. We started with a few treatments and standard meds to build up what I had, and improvement followed. My donor area thickened some, and more importantly, my bridge area bounced back a bit. I still had a horseshoe balding pattern going, but it wasn't as bad. We got to a point where we'd reached the limit of improvement with those methods, and I still wasn't a good candidate for an FUT transplant. At this point I was thinking I'd either have to shave my head or adjust my goal. I asked Darren about doing an FUE instead of FUT, using the follicles from that procedure to reframe my face and get rid of the horseshoe balding pattern — also allowing for no scar in the back so I could keep my thin, wispy hair fairly short. He again consulted with his surgeon, Dr. Contractor, who came into the room to look at my head directly. Dr. Contractor listened to my goals, clearly deliberated on what was possible, and agreed to do it. I wasn't promised a lot of coverage — maybe 1,250 grafts — but it was enough to give me a hairline that looked natural. Fortunately, Dr. Contractor ended up finding 2,022 grafts, creating a transplant result that went further back on my head than originally anticipated. I'm on day 3 of recovery, but I can already tell that the result is going to be beyond my expectations. Dr. Contractor and his team worked some magic I didn't think was possible. The procedure was fairly painless too. Overall, the process with We Grow Hair Indy has been one of the best consumer experiences of my life. They're collaborative, professional, and clearly good at getting results. Most importantly, Darren and team might be the most honest people I've ever handed money to, and they're not aggressive about getting money out of your hand in the slightest. I highly recommend them to anyone else looking to improve their hairline.

I first had my consultation with We Grow Hair Indy in 2022. At the time, I was on the fence and mainly wanted to learn more about the procedure and my options. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the professionalism of the entire team. During the hour-long consultation, they thoroughly explained the process, answered every question I had, and made me feel completely comfortable. Fast forward to the summer of 2025. I'm not sure there was one specific "aha" moment, but one morning I woke up and noticed more hair on my pillow than usual. It was a clear sign that my hair loss was becoming more noticeable. At 50 years old, I realized I wasn't getting any younger and decided it was time to take action. I scheduled another appointment in June and met with Will. About 15 minutes into the conversation, I knew this was the right decision, and my procedure was scheduled for July. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. The procedure itself went smoothly, and I was especially blown away by the level of follow-up care and support I received afterward. As I recently reached my one-year anniversary, I can honestly say my only regret is not doing it sooner. The results have been amazing and have exceeded my expectations. It's easy to understand why patients from all across America travel to Indianapolis to be treated by Will Saddler and the team at We Grow Hair Indy. Their expertise in this highly specialized hair restoration procedure is second to none. In my opinion, no one does it better. In the photos below - first photo is pre-procedure. Second photo is one day after procedure. Third photo was 12 months post procedure.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at We Grow Hair Indy. From the moment I called to talk about possibilities, I was treated with genuine care and personalized attention. The staff made me feel like I was their only client, taking the time to answer every question thoroughly and making sure I felt confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. During my time there, the entire staff seemed caring and dedicated. You can tell this place is special and that their staff genuinely enjoys being there and doing what they do. The procedure itself went smoothly, and what truly sets this place apart is the follow-up care. Even six weeks after my procedure, they are continuing to check in with me, ensuring my recovery is going well and that I have everything I need. That level of dedication is rare and deeply appreciated. If you're considering a procedure, I wholeheartedly encourage you to check out We Grow Hair Indy. Their professionalism, warmth, and commitment to patient care are second to none. You’ll be in excellent hands!

I'm 6 months out from my hair transplant and couldn’t be happier with the results. The density is excellent, and the hairline looks completely natural. The entire experience—from consultation to recovery—was smooth and professional. Recovery was easy, and the office was always communicative and supportive. I only wish I had done it sooner—I can’t stop smiling!

Just want to share my experience with we grow hair Indy. I ended up not being able to go through with the procedure, but this was due to my own life circumstances at the time. Darren was just amazing overall to deal with. Every step of the way and I just couldn’t feel more supported by him and the we grow hair team. Hopefully when life adjusts for me I can go back to them. I had VERY complex requests and they worked to accommodate me 100% of the way. Thank you for your grace and understanding and I apologize for wasting your time. I would recommend them to anyone that I cared about who was seeking a hair transplant, you will not find a better company/surgeons to deal with.

Last week I had an FUE with We Grow Hair Indy. The entire team is just absolutely amazing. Everything they told me about the procedure happened exactly as I was told. Darren, the medical director, and all the others involved in the procedure were so professional, courteous, and accommodating. What impresses me is how accurate they were in their description of the procedure and how everything went smoothly. Big shout out to the team at We Grow Hair Indy on a job well done! Many thanks!!

Great Experience with PAI Medical Group! Darren was Awesome to work with. He explained everything very well as what to Expect during the 18 month journey from start to maximum results. But so far at 5 months my hair has grown in tremendously! Still more growth to go hopefully but already the results are amazing. I definitely recommend Darren and PAI Medical Group for ALL Your hair Regrowth Needs!

Darren and his team are absolutely wonderful. They thoroughly prepared me for my procedure pre and post op. And, the results have been remarkable. It can be hard to tell how much hair you've grown looking in the mirror, but seeing my pre op photos compared to now amazed me. Thank you, WeGrowHairIndy!

I was originally very skeptical of the results as anyone else would be with the hair loss I had going on over the years. I felt my confidence and bravado diminishing each year while I searched for a solution to my hair loss. Then a came across an advertisement for we grow hair Indy. I figured it was a long shot but felt desperate for answers at the time. So I setup an online consultation and discussion with Will Saddler. The consultation was great and very informative. However, I waited a year and debated things in my own head. One day I got in my truck after work and took my hat off. I had enough of feeling this way and just gave Will a call. I scheduled my procedure that day and little did I know at that time it was the best decision of my life. It may be a little vain for me to say that but it is the truth. I was given realistic expectations and they have exceeded those. It is a long hard journey but it’s for real. If you follow the directions of this company you will not be disappointed. I now look in the mirror with confidence and pride. I just went to a family holiday party and my three sisters that I haven’t seen in a year were astonished. This is not easy, but if you do it with this company you will not be disappointed. I couldn’t be any happier with my whole experience. Having great hair is amazing!

I flew from Seattle for this clinic Exceptional staff and work! This is the place to go. I was introduced to Will by a friend, and he was the deciding factor in choosing We Grow Hair Indy. - He was patient with my questions and hesitation. - I never felt pressured to buy. - He followed up and shared photos and testimonials. - His friendliness is genuine. I had been wanting a transplant for over a year but was hesitant because it’s a huge, scary commitment. The team here is just like Will—kind, professional, and supportive. They create an environment that not only ensures exceptional work but also fosters healing. Dr. Contractor conducted my procedure. He was skilled and genuine. I can’t remember the rest of the team that conducted the procedure, they were all phenomenal. Tori did my hair wash. She was gentle during the wash and provided me the plan for the next few weeks and was patient with my questions. WGHI has exceeded my high expectations, and I will happily refer everyone to this clinic. Second video is my 4 week post surgery update. I got a hair cut and kept the hair a little longer to keep the suture line covered so it doesn’t get exposed to sun. I’m already seeing some small hairs grow in the transplanted areas.

I had an incredible experience at We Grow Hair Indy, getting the ARTAS Robotic FUE procedure in November 2023. Super informative/caring staff throughout the pre and post procedure process. If you ever had questions or curiosity, at least reach out to them for a free evaluation.

I recently traveled to Indiana from New Jersey for my hair transplant procedure with We Grow Hair Indy and had a very pleasant experience. I selected this place after a lot of research, looking for a reputable facility with great doctors - and I got exactly what I needed. First of all, travel there was made easy - quick flight and a 2 night hotel stay near the clinic. The company gives you a travel credit and helps organize everything… for me, my travel basically ended up being free! Then there is the clinic itself - located just a minute drive from the hotel, it really is a state of the art facility. It’s an extremely modern looking place with very friendly staff. They offer all kinds of treatments, from FUE to FUT and even Multi Unit Hair Grafting. The way it worked was, I flew in the night before the procedure, went in the morning of, had it done, went back to the hotel, someone from the clinic called me to check in on me and asked for periodic photo updates to see how the transplanted area is doing a few hours into it. Then I slept in a sitting position (manageable) and went back the next morning for a check-up and a clean-up before jumping in a cab to the airport. I was given very detailed instructions on what to do the following days post procedure - from what meds to take, to how to treat the area, to what to eat etc. Flying post surgery was no biggie - I had a surgical cap on, had zero pain and felt completely comfortable. I was worried that people would stare at me, but then I realized I’m not 9 years old and don’t care what people think of me, but truthfully the surgical hat made me look like a traveling doctor! Haha I thought this was going to be a short review but I wanted to include as much detail of it as possible should you consider it. I highly recommend this clinic. The clinical director Darren Andrews was extremely pleasant to deal with (I mean everyone I dealt with was) and icing on the cake was 0% financing for 12 months! Hair cure exists - you just have to take the first step here - I’m glad I did!

I stumbled across We Grow Hair online after searching for highly rated offices in my local area. It wasn't long after my first free consultation I realized I stumbled upon a group of fantastic caring and professional people. From day one I felt the staff heard me out , didn't over sell anything, and provided accurate descriptions about results and expectations. I had issues on the front right and left sides of my head since high-school and could finally afford to do something about it and I am glad I did. Darren and the rest of the staff here made me feel comfortable before , during , and after the procedure. The surgery was painless and recovery went well. Overall I am pleased with the service I received and would recommend them to anyone looking for this procedure.

Fantastic experience and results! Will Saddler, Lindsay, Megan, and the entire team are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had SMP done on the crown of my head by a different provider 4 years ago to disguise my thinning hair. Unfortunately over the past couple of years, my hair has thinned out even more and that micropigmentation no longer disguised the area in question. To make matters worse, it had completely changed color and now looked blueish-gray instead of brown. I had consultations with several other SMP providers in the area, and no one was very confident that anything could be done to improve the existing SMP short of lasering it off, and no one was really interested in doing "density fill". They all wanted me to shave my head and go with the stubble look. I still have a significant amount of "good hair" towards the front of my head and wasn't ready to shave it all off yet. Before throwing in the towel, I decided to schedule one last consultation with We Grow Hair Indy. After talking to Will at my consult, I felt comfortable that they could at least improve the look of my existing micropigmentation, and they were also experienced with density fill, so I scheduled an appointment with them for full scalp micropigmentation. I had my first session with their SMP technician Megan this past Saturday and I couldn't be happier with the results. She is truly gifted and a great artist. She not only seamlessly blended in the new micropigmentation with the old, she drastically improved the color and overall appearance of the old micropigmentation. I got confirmation of that today when I went to get my hair cut. My barber was blown away with the work Megan did. My barber said that she did such a good job that you couldn't even tell where the old micropigmentation ended and the new micropigmentation began. I now look like I have a full, thick head of hair, and this is after only one session. I can't wait to see how good it will look after my touch up session! If you are thinking about getting SMP, I can't recommend We Grow Hair Indy highly enough!!

I can't recommend this place enough. After years of watching my hair slowly thin and recede more and more it finally got to a point where I had to do something about it. An extensive search led me here to We Grow Hair Indy. I met with Darren who was awesome - extremely knowledgeable, really friendly and at no point did I ever feel like I was being pushed into anything. We went over what they offer and he showed the results of lots of past clients, the results truly speaking for themselves. I decided on the Multi-Unit grafting and scheduled the surgery. Surgery was easy and painless and went by surprisingly quick.Darren and his amazing team reached out every day to check up on me, answer any questions or concerns I had and let me know what to expect each step of the way. It's been just over 4 months since the surgery and the results are incredible! It already looks better than it did 5+ years ago and I still have another 8 months of it continuing to get thicker. I wear the sides/back at a 3 and you can't see the scar at all either. Needless to say I couldn't be happier and I'd do it 1000 times over again. This is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made and absolutely worth the investment. If you're on the fence or looking for the best place to get your hair back, please call and set up a meeting with Darren. I promise by the time the meeting is over you'll know you've found the top place for you to get your hair back.
