Medi Tresse, Boston’s Leading Hair Loss Treatment Center for Women.

Dr. Mary Wendel opened her first practice dedicated to treating women experiencing hair loss in 2002, when she opened the Women’s Hair Loss Center in Worcester, MA. Meeting with and treating hundreds of women over the years, she has witnessed first-hand not only the physical, but emotional toll of hair loss, and the impact on her patients’ confidence and self-esteem. She became intensely interested and passionate about discovering and offering effective treatments to slow or stop hair loss and even regrow hair. Eventually, her own thinning hair created an even deeper understanding and empathy of the hair loss and restoration issues unique to women. In June 2015, Dr. Wendel opened the first Medi Tresse medical clinic in Wellesley, MA, offering non-surgical hair loss solutions exclusively for women. Since 2015, Medi Tresse has grown to 4 locations and has seen over 3000 patients in their offices.

Dr. Wendel, whom is board certified in internal medicine, received her MD from the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1980 and completed her internship and residency at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester studying internal medicine. Dr. Wendel worked as an emergency room staff physician, urgent care physician and primary care physician at Fallon Clinic in Worcester and as an internist and primary care physician at UMass Memorial Healthcare. Dr. Wendel’s additional clinical interest areas are in preventative health, including diet, exercise and spiritual well-being. Dr. Wendel was raised in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, and resides in Sudbury, MA, with her husband, Dr. Mark DiStefano.
