Knowledge is the best medicine. Our advice on House Calls is based on short conversation and no physical examination-not the way medicine should be practiced. We encourage you to read more about our topics by going to the library or on the Internet, then make an appointment and really talk with your doctor.

PLUGS, DRUGS, AND RUGS

Today on House Calls, we tackle a "hairy" problem affecting more than 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States alone - alopecia, or hair loss.  We'll hear about the latest treatments to prevent and even reverse hair loss with Dr. Ken Washenik, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Dermatology at NYU Medical Center and medical director of Bosley Medical, Chris Bailey, Director of the Virginia Surgical Center, and Pam Broughton of the “Look Good, Feel Better” program.
