Soon after graduating from high school, David Josephitis found his calling. Even at such a young age, he knew that he wanted to become a surgeon. He felt that practicing medicine was all about repairing something that had gone wrong, and he loved the idea of being able to restore a person's wellbeing. As he pursued his dream, he realized that in order to become a great surgeon, he would first need to be an outstanding physician. "I chose to study Internal Medicine in order to become a well-rounded doctor," said Dr. Josephitis, "I felt that a broad medical knowledge, in addition to my surgical specialty training, would offer the best of both worlds to my future patients."
After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois, Dr. Josephitis spent a year at the University of Amsterdam focusing on biology and foreign studies. He earned his medical degree from the esteemed Nova Southeastern University. Then, immediately following his Internal Medicine training at the distinguished St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, he began his specialty training in Hair Transplantation Surgery. Working under the direction of Dr. Matt Leavitt, the Founder and Medical Director of Medical Hair Restoration, Dr. Josephitis completed the prestigious MHR fellowship in Hair Transplantation Surgery. When MHR merged with Bosley in 2010, Dr. Josephitis came on board the Bosley Minneapolis medical staff.
Dr. Josephitis was drawn to hair transplantation because it is one of the few specialties that require both an analytical and aesthetic mind. "I have always enjoyed creating," he said, "hair transplant surgery gives me the unbelievable opportunity to actually recreate a person's physical appearance and, at the same time, help improve their overall sense of confidence and self esteem."
The basis from which Dr. Josephitis draws his medical philosophy has always been to be a great surgeon in addition to an outstanding physician. "I believe there is a benefit in a hair transplant surgeon having both a medical and surgical background," he stated, "As a surgeon, I can give the patient the most natural looking transplant the industry has to offer. As a physician, I get to enjoy great relationships with my patients as their hair loss specialist. And, with my background in Internal Medicine, I can assure the patient that he or she is an appropriate surgical candidate." For Dr. Josephitis, the most satisfying aspect of being a hair transplant surgeon is relieving his patients of the burden they feel when losing their hair. "Hair loss is a serious and troubling issue that many deal with on a daily basis," he said, "I enjoy taking this strain and concern out of a person's life and making their hair a non-issue
"In order to be good at anything you need to be passionate about it, and that is what motivates me. Technically I transplant hair, but when I see the positive emotional changes in my patients from their hair, I feel as though I have transplanted youth, confidence, and virility."
Dr. Josephitis is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the American Board of Internal Medicine.
