Regular Member Alex94gasp Posted June 14, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Hi guys I would love you to heard your opinion, I'm living in Porto, and I want to do a HT. I was informed that Dr.Bruno is one of the best in Portugal, but the price is 3,5€/ graft... I found that Dr.Pinto is as good as Dr.Bruno, and less expensive (2,6€/graft). I just need to wait until 2023... I heard that a lot of people did a lot of research on in. Could you tell me if I does well the temples ? Mine are disappearing... I heard to that he as have a good reputation in forums of Spain Edited June 14, 2022 by Alex94gasp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 14, 2022 Administrators Share Posted June 14, 2022 I’ve seen some good work from Dr. Pinto, particularly with @JDEE0 I would also look at Dr. De Freitas in Spain.

Senior Member AlexMeister21 Posted June 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 I had a consultation with Dr. Pinto’s clinic recently and they come off as very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Supposedly, he only does one patient a day and likes to be in control of the entire procedure. I wish I got my hair transplant from him in the first place. 1 Dr. Laorwong - 1,837 grafts FUE + BHT (Jan. 31, 2023) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member A Fue Good Men Posted June 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 Personally, I would prefer pinto over Ferreira. Both great docs however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RTC Posted June 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 I think Pinto charges 2.95 a graft now based on my interaction with the clinic a while back Hattingen September 2023 - Punchouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Alex94gasp Posted June 15, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 I asked a few days ago, and they told me 2,6€/graft. And Dr.Bruno Ferreira is on 3,5€. Now I live in Porto, and it's actually close to me, so I will try to go with Dr. Pinto. If not, I may try with Dr. Freitas in Spain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Alex94gasp Posted June 15, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 Now I'm just waiting for 2023, I'm in the waiting list, Just hopping that he doesn't increase the price! If he does, I just need to check elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE TRUTH Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Both Pinto and Ferreira are good. They are friends and their are equal in terms of quality. I'd go with Pinto since he is a bit cheaper but feel free to go with Ferreira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Alex94gasp Posted June 15, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 They are friends? Didn't know. But makes sense, they are both in Porto! Well with the life we have in Portugal with the salary, it's not applicable the 3,5€/graft. The minimum is 740€/month But well, I will call later to confime with Dr.Pinto and make sure they make an appointment for me. In my town, don't need to travel, I think is a safe bet.

This is true, I had surgery with him almost 4 weeks ago. Not only is he the only one who touches your head, but he will explain each step of the surgery beforehand, and will also narrate what he's doing while he's performing the surgery itself. He does not give any sedatives on the day of surgery because he specifically wants you to be awake and lucid so that you can communicate with him the entire time. Too early to tell if my result will be good, but great doctor and clinic experience overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good sign that he's passionate about what he does as opposed to prioritizing financial gain. Was the procedure painful? I'd rather be sedated, but I wouldn't mind being awake the entire procedure if it was worth it in the end.

Senior Member therambler Posted June 16, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2022 I recently had surgery with Dr. Pinto and would just echo what @shadowcast says above about the experience and his great communication. The hair nerds here would absolutely love him as he talks with passion about every aspect of the HT! Regarding pain, he uses local injections on the scalp to numb it. So the only pain is really when you're getting these done. He's careful to try make it as painless as possible though and encourages you to let him know if you feel discomfort at any stage.

I have also had surgery with a different doctor who gave me valium - it makes no difference for pain, it's just to calm your nerves. Either way, the surgery is easy. I have had worse times at the dentist office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Alex, i’m personally not familiar with Dr. Pinto but it sounds like a lot of people on this forum are. Just be sure generally speaking that you’ve taken the time to research each doctor you’re considering and use this and other forums to view patient and clinic posted results. In my opinion, it’s better to have the peace of mind to go to a physician with a proven track record of producing excellent results than one where there’s guesswork. best wishes, Rahal Hair Transplant Rahal Hair Transplant Institute - Answers to questions, posts or any comments from this account should not be taken or construed as medical advice.
