[purna]

Need help in finalizing the doctor for my HT . i am thinking of going for a HT surgery with Dr Arocha , please do let me know your comments on this doctor . My target date for this HT is Sep 2009.

 

Any help and comments in this regard is highly appreciated.

Dr Arocha has been posting some impressive work on this forum lately and he is recommended on this forum so I think he should be a good choice. Of course do more research and find out what works best for you.

I think he does high quality work. I just had a procedure done. I think you'll do well to go with him. My case was repair work and still early but I'm very happy thus far.

In my opinion, the three doctors you listed have put out some great examples of their work. Because all are great doctors, I would consider cost, travel, your rapport with each, and whether they require you to shave your head. I know Dr. Wong requires shaving, but Dr. Arochan and Dr. Shapiro do not if the session is under a specific number of grafts. (I believe that number is 2,500, but don't quote me on that)

I have personally met Dr. Arocha and I can vouch for him. His staff is extremely friendly and really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Dr. Arocha is an extremely nice, reasonable and patient man. I must have asked him the same question 20times in different ways and he just kept answering my questions. He won't let you leave until you get a full understanding of what he is doing.

 

I actually had a hair transplant performed by Dr. Arocha and I can tell you that I am extremely happy. I am a new member here and will hopefully post my results sometime in the next few days. I hope this helped. If you have any more questions let me know, I am more than willing to help. Trust me I realize how frustrating it is to find the right Doctor, and you can never ask too many questions when it comes to your hair.

Dr. Arocha suggested 3500 grafts for me and said he didn't need to shave. He seems like a great HT doc. I just ended up deciding on Ron Shapiro.

^ Ya he wont ask you to shave b/c he says that he wants to make the procedure as natural as possible. He doesn't want the whole world to know that you got a HT. (At least that is what he told me)

thanks for ur suggestion guys , finally i went along with Dr Ron shapiro for my ht on 10/06.

the HT went very fine , no pain during the whole procedure and the staff is very friendly.

Intially we thought of going for some where 2000 to 2500 to cover my frontal hairline , coz of the donor area restrictions it got limited to 1800 , still i am pretty much impressed with

the work wht i got from ron shapiro and team .

 

my whole exp with ron shapiro is excellent except some unusal words from Matt regarding the price , which might got happened coz of some communication gap , As i am not a effective communicator. other than this the whole exp with SMG is excellent ,
