I will be honest. You are a great guy and "your lack of hair" is like your brand image. You look great and reliable as a doctor (which you are after watching your videos). Continue your great job 👍

[tamsynfallows]

You look great without hair. There’s something about it that gives you a softness and an unusualness that really works with your demeanour as a person. And with the fact that you’re a surgeon who’s job it is to ‘perfect’ people’s appearances.

A bit like you’re an emblem of the antithesis of that mindset even though you exist in that world. You do that work and present it here but simultaneously remind us that being unusual looking and comfortable in your own skin is actually where it’s at.

My 4 year old lost his hair this year and now his eye brows. We’ve been struggling to accept this but are trying to stay strong. Your videos are very comforting to us. We appreciate you, doc.

[bigpapisaunds]

Dr. Gary, your well spoken and enthusiastic demeanour and warm energy are a delight! You look great and you are a great spirit, you are more than enough king! 😄😊

I have been in the study for 2.5 years. Since it’s double blinded I have no knowledge of I’m taking the placebo or the medication. My “dose” is 6mg per day. When starting the study I’d lost 70% of my hair and now have 93% back. Even tho Olumient is now FDA approved, the study continues for another 1.5 years for me. Just want to give a shout out to all people dealing with alopecia. It’s not easy …but you are braver and stronger than you think!!

[jengreen]

I have to say, I understand the desire to have your hair back. Hair becomes a part of your identity and not having the choice in going bald would challenge that identity. Even if it doesn’t work, your full bald look is actually great. You look unique and you stand out, but I understand that not everyone wants to stand out. Good luck with your journey!

You know people really love Gary's videos when this video about himself has just as many views as one of his celebrity videos haha, keep up the good work Gary!

[susanparker]

You are the only guy with alopecia I know who is actually making baldness work! Your glasses and personality trump any hair loss! Love your videos!!!

[melodybollinger]

Dr. Gary, I find your distinctive look very attractive. I'm not hitting on you - only sharing my true thought of your handsome look. I find your talks informative, interesting and fun to watch and listen to. You look so healthy and come across as truly sincere in all you share. Thanks for being in practice and online!

[kakaman]

The bigger question on my mind - what's Dr. Gary's skin care routine? Cause that skin is on point!

[RussiaIsARiddle]

Your current look is your trademark, my dear Doctor. I very much appreciate you sharing something so personal with the general public. I also very much appreciate you sharing the notable side effects. These seem to be considerable and possibly life altering. Your viewers love you exactly as you are. ❤

[keelhe]

I love how courageous you are as a physician and human living with alopecia areata … I’m sure you are helping so many other people find happiness

[mavoisine]

No doc, no. We love your bald head. You know the saying 'God made only so manly perfect heads, the rest he covered with hair'

[liveandletlive]

His obvious happiness at the return of his eyelashes and eyebrows is so sweet. All the best lovely Doc❤️

[SevillaILove]

I love that you included the "emotional toll" it can take on a person - including the WHOLE person not just the illness as many doctors do.

[Gitnit]

My cousin was one of the test subjects. She was completely bald, no eyebrows, eyelashes, or hair of any kind on her body. For several years, she had to undergo regular checkups and monitoring of her nutrilfil levels in order to continue taking the medication. It actually worked. Her hair has now grown back. I am so happy for her and others with this condition because it can have a detrimental psychological effect, especially on women.

[jeffreybaier]

Having hair is not worth the risk of death. Great video Doctor, thanks. Wish you the best.

[faismasterx]

Can we take a moment and be in awe of the fact that up to 4% of the test subjects grew back over 90% of their hair taking a sugar pill and just believing that it will work? That is literally amazing.

[rmaccauley]

I'm 18 and I'm already seeing my hairline thin and recede. Your confidence and character is inspirational. I can see why you would want your hair back, but I love your attitude about it.

The way that you understand that hair is unnecessary is amazing for your health and makes others feel more secure about their hair loss in turn. Many people fall down the rabbit hole of wanting their hair back, feeling destroyed by the impact on their self actualization, believing they need their hair back for self esteem purposes, and or feeling they need their hair back to be accepted. It propagates down Maslow's hierarchy of needs if you don't think constructively about it. Knowing that you can be the best version of yourself without hair is the biggest and most important thing to understand when facing hair loss, and you've done an amazing job showing people that through your attitude towards your own hair loss.

Doc, it’s the beauty of imperfection. I have synkinesis and partial facial paralysis from Bells Palsy 24 years ago. Your imperfection makes me feel like it’s OK. 💕
