Dr. Heinis’ mastery ensures natural-looking, long-lasting hair transplants.
In 2012, my journey with DiStefano Hair Restoration Centers began when I, Dr. Chris Heinis, MD, became part of the team. Since then, I have continued the legacy of DiStefano Hair Restoration, performing more than 12,000 successful hair transplants and mastering advanced hair restoration surgery techniques. My background in medicine spans over a decade at the University of Massachusetts, Worcester, where I served as an Assistant Professor in the emergency department, as well as Quality Assurance Officer and Assistant Medical Director. During that time, I gained extensive experience in tissue repair and surgical procedures, skills that now enhance my precision and artistry in hair restoration.
Dr. Heinis’s path to hair restoration began with his own struggle against hair loss in his late thirties. While working as a nocturnist at the University of Massachusetts, he discovered DiStefano Hair Restoration and met Dr. Mark DiStefano—who not only welcomed him but also offered free training in hair restoration surgery.
With years of experience in emergency medicine and surgical procedures, Dr. Heinis quickly adapted to the art of hair restoration. After six months of intensive training, he performed his first solo surgery, marking a turning point in his career.
By 2018, he became the proud owner of DiStefano Hair Restoration Centers, continuing its trusted legacy of excellence with over 16,000 successful transplants. Beyond medicine, Dr. Heinis values family life in central Massachusetts, where he enjoys 30 years of marriage, raising two children, and sharing hobbies like collector cars, ice hockey, and RC airplanes.
