NEW: Texting the office!

We are pleased to announce a new super-convenient way to contact the office - TEXTING! Texts are an easy way to reach us in a fast, HIPAA compliant way. The service will be available during office hours, when we have staff available to respond to you live and direct. You are already loving it! This feature is perfect for letting us know if you are running late, need assistance or require a call back to schedule an appointment. You can also use it to transmit emergent photos to the office, safely and HIPAA compliantly. We would however like to remind all patients that there are limitations as to what we can appropriately manage via text. We cannot treat, diagnose or refill medications remotely via text message. We also cannot ethically provide any medical advice via text - for this we require you call the office at 312-245-9965 or schedule an appointment to be seen. If your concern is non-emergent and you cannot make it to the office, we suggest you use OnlineMD, our online teledermatology feature. You are also able to schedule appointments online via Zocdoc.com

Dr. Omer Ibrahim Hair Growth Guru!

Suffering with excessive shedding, thinning or loss of hair can be a silent struggle for both male and female patients. Hair loss has many causes including (but not limited to) heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or medications associated with them, a stressful life event and certain styling techniques. Diagnosis is often incredibly patient specific, which is why it is important you seek the guidance of an expert. Dr. Omer Ibrahim’s interest in the condition of alopecia and hair loss began with working alongside Dr. Wilma Fowler Bergfeld at the Cleveland Clinic, who is one of the nation’s top experts on hair loss. As the hair growth guru of Chicago, Dr. Omer Ibrahim runs a Tuesday morning hair loss clinic at CCSD, recommending many successful, results-driven care plans for patients, the most popular being Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. Platelet-rich plasma is blood plasma that contains essential proteins to stimulate natural hair growth. This therapy involves drawing a patient’s own blood, spinning it so that only enriched cells (platelet-rich plasma) remain, and re-injecting it into the scalp. New hair growth can be seen as early as 2 months following treatment. Hair growth will continue to improve up to a year thereafter. Take a look at Dr. Ibrahim’s amazing results HERE. Call 312-245-9965 or use zocdoc.com to schedule your hair loss appointment today!

Dr. Ibrahim is AMAZING. He has such a wonderful “bed side manner” and his experience is multifaceted. I go to him for both regular skin concerns and cosmetic reasons and he has been able to help with every issue I have! He is by far the best dermatologist I have been to and I recommend him 100%!
