Medical Wigs & Cranial Prosthesis in Miami Beach, FL

For a woman in Miami Beach beginning chemotherapy or living with alopecia, the search for hair that still looks like hers is not a shopping trip — it is part of her care. Dorin Wigs has spent twenty-five years serving exactly this moment. Through a longstanding partnership with Mount Sinai Medical Center on Miami Beach, Dorin fits medical wigs and cranial prostheses for women in active treatment, then welcomes them into her private Fort Lauderdale atelier for the unhurried, one-on-one work a sensitive time deserves.

A Cranial Prosthesis, Not Just a Wig

A cranial prosthesis is the medical designation for a wig worn for hair loss caused by a medical condition — chemotherapy, alopecia areata or totalis, trichotillomania, or severe thinning. The piece itself is the same hand-tied, human-hair craftsmanship Dorin is known for; the designation is what allows your insurance, FSA, or HSA to treat it as the medical device it truly is. Every medical piece is built for a tender scalp: soft, breathable cap construction, a secure fit without adhesives, and hair matched to your own color and texture.

Our Partnership with Mount Sinai Medical Center

Dorin works alongside the oncology team at Mount Sinai on Miami Beach, fitting patients as they prepare for or move through treatment. If you are receiving care at Mount Sinai, ask your care team about the wig fitting referral — many Miami Beach clients first meet Dorin this way, then complete their fitting at the atelier. Coming in before hair loss begins allows an exact match of your natural color, texture, and hairline, which is why oncologists encourage scheduling a consultation within the first weeks after diagnosis.

Insurance, FSA & HSA — We Handle the Paperwork

With a physician's prescription for a cranial prosthesis, most FSA and HSA accounts cover the cost, and many insurance plans reimburse part or all of it. Your doctor writes a letter of medical necessity with your diagnosis code; Dorin provides the itemized documentation your plan requires, including the standard cranial prosthesis billing code (HCPCS A9282). The full process is explained on our insurance & FSA/HSA page, and we walk through it together at your consultation — you focus on healing, we handle the forms.

The Drive from Miami Beach

From Miami Beach, take I-195 across to I-95 north — roughly thirty-five to forty minutes to the atelier at 4800 SW 28th Terrace in Fort Lauderdale. The studio is women-only, Sunday through Friday, with as much time as your fitting needs. Walk in or book ahead. Many clients pair the visit with our broader medical wig services, from first fitting to styling and long-term care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be fitted before my chemotherapy starts?
Yes — and it is the best time to come. With your natural hair present, Dorin can match color, texture, and hairline precisely, and your piece is ready before you need it.

Does insurance really cover a medical wig?
Often, yes. With a prescription for a cranial prosthesis and a letter of medical necessity, most FSA/HSA accounts cover it and many insurers reimburse a portion. We provide the itemized paperwork.

I'm a patient at Mount Sinai — how does the referral work?
Ask your oncology care team about the wig fitting referral. Dorin partners with Mount Sinai and regularly fits patients connected through the hospital.

How is a medical fitting different from a regular wig fitting?
It is gentler and more thorough: scalp-sensitive cap options, secure fit without adhesives, timing planned around your treatment, and complete privacy.
