Betterhair

Okay, flew down to Houston today and met with Dr Arocha for my in person consultation. Immediately had a good feeling about this guy. Very easy to talk to and explained in a realistic way , a game plan suited best for my situation . I'm going in tomorrow at 7:30 am for my surgery to restore my frontal region. I will keep you updated.

Made2care,

 I’m sorry if I missed it but who is your surgeon  for your last surgery and your upcoming surgery? 

best wishes,

Bill

Dr Blaine Lehr ( dermatologist in Oklahoma City, no longer does transplants) did a 2000 fut in frontal region. No problems, just not dense enough. This was 10 years ago. My 2nd surgery will be with dr Arocha ( Houston).

All the best buddy! I’ve seen quite a few of Dr. Arocha’s results and they look great. You’ll be just fine! Good luck!

Thank you. Getting closer to my surgery date. I'm hopeful this doc will do a better job than the last surgery . Here is a before.

I just chatted (by face time) with Dr. Arocha out of Houston and man, what a nice guy ! He answered all my questions and I will soon be hopping on a plane to Houston.

Thanks to everyone here for helping me find the right surgeon. I will keep you updated.

Is it not customary to ask how much a clinic charges per graft?? I've ask

Dr Arocha 's office and they told me too wait until my FaceTime consultation.

I have a FaceTime consultation scheduled with Arocha next week.

Okay, I went to a couple of consultations in okc and not pleased. I have called Dr Arocha in dallas to set up a consultation. His clinic is recommended by this site, will see how it goes. Anyone been to him??

Another question to get the ball rolling. Is it the norm to have techs actually do the graft implants?

With my first transplant, the doc removed the strip and was never seen again. Are these tech trained enough to achieve a prospective outcome or should I look for a center that has the surgeon implant the grafts?

Just joined and glad this is here to help.

I am looking for a reputable Hts in Oklahoma. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
