His international reputation for providing high quality patient care and exceptionally natural results has spread fast and far through the word-of-mouth of satisfied patients. Dr. Bauman is a strong advocate of early diagnosis (like genetic testing) and the early use of non-invasive treatments which can help protect and enhance one's existing hair, minimizing the need for extensive hair transplantation.
Dr. Bauman takes pride in seeing each and every patient personally in consultation before initiating any treatment plan. If a hair transplant is indicated, patients take comfort in knowing that he and his full-time team of assistants perform approximately 250 hair transplant procedures each year, one or two each day.

Nearly 50% of all of Dr. Bauman's patients travel to him from out-of-town, seeking his professional approach, high-quality patient care and hairline artistry in hair transplant surgery and his specialty procedures, like Eyelash Transplants.
Dr. Bauman was the only North American physician faculty member at the first Regional Live Surgery Workshop on Eyelash Transplantation, sponsored by the ISHRS in 2006. The Eyelash Transplant Live Workshop was attended by an international group of forty physicians and their staff. Dr. Bauman presented his eyelash transplant techniques in lecture format as well as a 'live surgery' demonstration. His procedure was featured on ABC News/Good Morning America, Reuters and ExtraTV.
Dr. Bauman has offered FUE or Follicular-Unit Extraction as a minimally-invasive, 'no linear scar' option to his hair transplant patients since 2001 and was the first to demonstrate the manual FUE technique at Orlando Live Surgery Workshop in 2003. He designed the first commercially-available manual instrument (Bauman-MINDEX) for physicians to use for FUE around that same time.
Early in 2008 Dr. Bauman began using automated devices to assist with FUE hair transplants in his practice. Later that year, he became one of the first surgeons in North America to routinely use NeoGraft, the automated hair transplant device, for his patients.
In 2009, Dr. Bauman hosted the First Live Surgery Workshop exclusively dedicated to NeoGraft FUE hair transplant surgery in North America--an event attended by dozens of physicians from around the country and was the first to lecture and present NeoGraft FUE at the ISHRS Annual Scientific Meeting in Amsterdam in 2009. Later that year, he performed the most-viewed Live hair transplant surgery on the internet using NeoGraft on YouTube celebrity Greg Benson (Mediocre Films). YouTube celeb, 'Nalts,' also had his procedure with Dr. Bauman, which is described on http://www.hairofnalts.com
As the numbers of grafts harvested per day increased from a few hundred to an average 1500 per day, the demand for FUE began to increase dramatically in his practice--increasing from ~15% of all cases in 2008 to 90% of all hair transplants. As of August 2010, FUE with NeoGraft makes up 90% of all hair transplant procedures performed by Dr. Bauman and his team of highly-trained surgical technicians.
