Dr. Fernandez-Tatum is originally from Madrid, Spain and graduated from the American School of Madrid before moving to North Carolina to attend Davidson College, where he received his bachelor’s degree in biology and concentrations in Chemistry and Medical Humanities in 1998. He received his Medical Degree at UNC-Chapel Hill in 2005. He completed his Residency in General Surgery in 2011 and Fellowship in Vascular Surgery at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC in 2013.
Dr Fernandez-Tatum practiced Vascular Surgery in Charlotte and Rock Hill for 10 years. After COVID, Dr Fernandez-Tatum decided to pursue a new career outside of the hospital setting. He was incredibly fortunate to train with Dr. Jerry Cooley, who is considered one of the best Hair Transplant surgeons in the country and past president of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS). He discovered a new passion for the field of Hair Restoration after being personally trained in the “Cooley Hair method”. He decided to transfer his personal talents and surgical expertise in microscopic surgery to the field of Hair Restoration.
Surprisingly, Hair Restoration Surgery shares many characteristics that initially attracted Dr. Fernandez-Tatum to Vascular Surgery including long term relationships with patients, developing personalized treatment plans for each patient’s unique anatomy and situation, and imperative need for meticulous surgical skills in microscopic surgery. As a native Spanish speaker and certified interpreter, he has a special interest in providing surgical services to the Hispanic community.
Dr. Fernandez-Tatum sees patients at our office at 7810 Ballantyne Commons Parkway, Suite 223 and welcomes new patients from Charlotte and the surrounding areas.
