A trichologist in Atlanta who finds what is really behind your hair loss.
If your hair is thinning, shedding, or changing and no one has explained why, you deserve a specialist who investigates the cause, not just the scalp.
I am Dr. Nina Ross, ND PhD, a board-certified trichologist and functional medicine doctor. Thinning hair is usually a signal from somewhere deeper, thyroid, iron, hormones, or stress. I run advanced labs to find which one is driving yours, here in Atlanta and virtually across Georgia, then treat the root so your hair has what it needs to recover.

Book the $99 Symptom ConsultationYou have been to doctors. You still do not feel heard.
You are not difficult, and you are not imagining it. You have just never been given the time.
The doctor who looks closer and listens longer.
For years I watched people, so many of them women who looked like me, carry symptoms that no one would slow down to explain. So I built the practice I wished they could walk into. One where you are believed first, investigated thoroughly, and treated as a whole person with a life, not a fifteen minute slot.
When someone finally feels seen, the healing has already begun.

Hair loss is rarely just about your hair.
Most hair loss is downstream of something systemic, your thyroid, your iron, your hormones, your stress. Treating the scalp alone misses it. As a trichologist and functional medicine doctor, I read the whole picture and treat what is actually driving the shedding.
Your hair is telling the truth about your health. We listen to it.
A trichologist treats the cause of hair loss, not the cosmetics.
A trichologist is a specialist in the hair and scalp. Paired with functional medicine, that means I do not just look at your hair, I look at why it is changing, reading how your hormones, nutrients, and stress connect, then treating the root.
This is medicine that respects both your science and your story.
How we work together: four steps, built around you
An unhurried first visit and advanced labs, so nothing about how you feel gets dismissed.
We map your results together so you finally understand why the symptoms travel as a set.
Nutrition, targeted support, and lifestyle, sequenced to your labs and your real life, not a template.
We adjust as your numbers move, so progress holds and you keep feeling more like yourself.
It works like a membership. Join for 3, 6, or 12 months — the whole toolkit is yours the entire time.
Where root-cause care makes the biggest difference
My hair stopped falling out once she found my thyroid was the cause. No one else had even checked.
Hair loss, answered plainly
What does a trichologist do?
A trichologist is a specialist in the hair and scalp. As a board-certified trichologist and functional medicine doctor, I diagnose the type and cause of your hair loss, then treat the root driver, whether that is thyroid, iron, hormones, or stress.
What causes hair loss, and can it be reversed?
Most hair loss is downstream of something systemic, thyroid, iron, hormones, or stress. When we find and treat the real driver, your hair often has the conditions it needs to recover.
How is a trichologist different from a dermatologist?
A dermatologist focuses on the skin and scalp surface. As a trichologist paired with functional medicine, I also test what is happening inside, the thyroid, nutrients, and hormones behind the shedding, and treat that root cause.
What lab testing do you run for hair loss?
We go beyond a basic panel, thyroid, iron and ferritin, a full hormone panel, and inflammatory markers, because that is where most hair loss actually begins.
Do you work alongside my regular doctor or dermatologist?
Yes. Care here is provided alongside, not in place of, your primary, dermatology, and specialty care. We coordinate so the whole picture stays connected.
Do you offer virtual hair-loss visits or only in person in Atlanta?
Both. See me in person at our Atlanta clinic, or virtually anywhere in Georgia. Your $99 Symptom Consultation can be booked either way.
