Timothy Carman, MD

Dr. Timothy Carman began his undergraduate training at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) where he triple-majored in Physiological Psychology, Mammalian Physiology, and Biochemistry and Cell Biology, with a minor in Visual Arts, followed by George Washington University School of Medicine. He went on to receive his training in General and Trauma Surgery at Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills, California.
Beginning around the year 2000, Dr. Carman decided to make the transition into private practice, specifically to specialize in cosmetic procedures, as this seemed the best marriage of his skills as a surgeon and artist. He successfully completed a two-year Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship at USC affiliated Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Hospital, where his cases included pediatric burn patients referred from the USC Burn Unit. Among the varied procedures performed on these individuals, the recreation/reconstruction of the natural features of the face and hair-bearing scalp seemed to impart the greatest impact on his patient’s confidence and self-esteem.
From those experiences, Dr. Carman decided to concentrate on hair transplantation. He has been a member of the ISHRS since 2003, and his specialty training includes serving a year-long fellowship in HRS which is recognized by all the leading hair restoration societies. He is a Diplomate and Past President of The American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, and is an Inaugural Fellow of the ISHRS.
Dr Carman currently owns and serves as Surgical Director of La Jolla Hair Restoration. He has firmly established himself as a highly respected surgeon among his peers with a reputation for producing consistent, natural results.
