Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. has named Dr. Benjamin C. Stong to its 2026 list of Top Doctors, an elite distinction awarded to physicians who demonstrate outstanding clinical expertise, professional achievement, and peer recognition. Fewer than 7% of licensed physicians nationwide are selected each year through Castle Connolly’s rigorous, physician-led evaluation process.
Dr. Stong, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon, has built a nationally recognized practice specializing in advanced hair restoration. At Kalos Hair Transplant, he offers cutting-edge treatment options, including NeoGraft FUE. He is the only facial plastic surgeon in the Atlanta market to provide NeoGraft, the first FDA-cleared system for follicular unit harvesting and implantation. The minimally invasive procedure requires no stitches, leaves no linear scarring, and is designed to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Castle Connolly’s selection process is based on peer nominations and a comprehensive review of a physician’s education, training, board certifications, hospital affiliations, and professional history. Dr. Stong has been nominated multiple times and has earned the Top Doctor designation consecutively, reflecting consistent performance and patient-focused care over more than a decade.
“Being named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor is a meaningful honor,” Dr. Stong said. “Hair loss can have a significant emotional and professional impact. Our goal is to offer patients the most advanced, least invasive solutions while delivering natural results that restore confidence. This recognition reflects our team’s commitment to excellence in both care and outcomes.”
Patients from across Atlanta and the Southeast seek out Dr. Stong for his specialized credentials and aesthetic approach to hair restoration. His background in facial plastic surgery allows him to design hairlines and growth patterns that align naturally with each patient’s facial features. Kalos Hair Transplant treats both men and women and addresses a wide range of conditions, including male and female pattern hair loss, thinning hair, scarring alopecia, and other forms of hair loss.
All procedures are performed at Kalos Hair Transplant’s Quad A Certified Surgery Center, a state-of-the-art facility designed to prioritize patient safety, comfort, and privacy. Each procedure is supported by MD anesthesiologists, and the center offers a discreet, private environment for patients seeking confidentiality.
Dr. Stong brings more than 20 years of experience to his practice. He graduated at the top of his class from Emory University and earned his medical degree from the University of Alabama School of Medicine. He completed his residency in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Emory University and a fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in New York under the mentorship of Dr. Andrew Jacono. He is board certified by both the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Located in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood, Kalos Hair Transplant is a premier destination for surgical and non-surgical hair restoration. The practice offers NeoGraft FUE hair transplants, beard and eyebrow restoration, forehead reduction procedures, and customized treatment plans designed to meet the individual needs of each patient.
