A doctor examines your scalp, goes through your history — health, medications, family, when the change started — and tells you what is going on and what your options are. Depending on the case, they may check labs (thyroid, iron) or look at the scalp under magnification.

People imagine a hair appointment is mysterious. It usually isn't. A doctor looks at the pattern, where it's thinning and where it isn't. They look at the scalp itself. They may run a gentle pull test to see how much is loose. And they often order blood work because thyroid and iron can show up in hair before you'd notice them anywhere else. Most of the answer comes from things you can see.
Through Uberhair, much of the groundwork happens before you arrive: your guided photos and intake answers reach the doctor as reference, so the visit is spent on judgment and a plan rather than paperwork and photography. What used to take three visits takes one.
You leave with an explanation and options — and the decision about treatment remains entirely yours and your doctor's.
