QUAD A ACCREDITED FACILITY
This facility has proven its commitment to optimal patient safety and standardization of care by achieving accreditation from QUAD A.
PATIENTS
As a patient, you can feel confident that this facility has demonstrated that safety is the top priority. Facility staff at all levels are appropriately trained, certified, and practice within the confines of their specialty. The facility equipment and supplies are well maintained, up to date, and properly stored to ensure safe use. Staff also participate in regular training and drills to prepare for natural disasters and human-impacted emergencies and ensure readiness to act to keep you safe in the unlikely event of such emergencies. If you are being referred to this facility by another practitioner, take heart in knowing that your care provider is looking out for your safety, even when they are not providing your care.
REFERRING PHYSICIANS
As a referring physician, you can feel confident that your patient will receive the highest standard of care. QUAD A requires 100% compliance with all standards which means that the staff has submitted evidence of correcting even the most isolated instances of not complying with requirements. Additionally, this facility has demonstrated that all practitioners meet the certification requirements of their respective specialty boards and practice only within the scope of their specialty training and that all therapists, nurses, physician assistants, technicians, and support staff receive appropriate and ongoing training for their duties. The staff has also participated in routine training and drills to reduce the likelihood of and manage naturally occurring and human-impacted emergencies.
Since its founding in 1980, QUAD A has pursued its mission by setting the highest standards for patient safety and standardization of care in outpatient centers worldwide. QUAD A requires 100% compliance with all accreditation standards and does not offer partial accreditation. If a facility fails to meet any standard, it must correct the deficiency or risk denial or loss of accreditation. QUAD A facilitates patient safety by regularly updating its standards based on patient data and the latest medical literature and requiring facilities to continually self-assess and evolve.
Here is a 37-year-old transgender patient with severe hair loss in the frontal area of the scalp. After consulting with Dr. Gabel, the patient decided on going with Dr. Gabel's recommendation of a FUT Strip harvest procedure in which 3,166 follicular unit hair grafts were transplanted by Dr. Gabel and staff into the frontotemporal and frontal hairline in one session. The postoperative results of the procedure were taken approximately 36 months after the surgery.
In this video, Dr. Steven Gabel performs a PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy procedure for hair loss on a patient. ACell and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are two types of therapies designed to promote hair growth for patients who are losing their hair.
