Thank you, Thank you!

How do you choose the best Doctor for Hair Restoration? Do you search by price? Location? Experience? Patient Reviews? Well, we are very picky about the physicians we see so we searched by all of the above and that is how we found Dr. Arocha! 2 years ago, I would see my husband spending a little more time in the mirror styling his hair, finally he spoke up. He wanted me to do research on Hair Restoration because he felt as he could use a little extra up top. I contacted the office and since we are out of state we hoped they would be able to get us in for the consult and procedure close together…they certainly did, consult and procedure same day. We get to the office around 7:30 and met the NICEST staff, well I have seen a great staff before but lets see how the doctor is…we were in amazement, Dr. Arocha came in with a huge warm, welcoming smile, we were then at ease! The consult was great, very thorough and informative showing us before and after pictures and telling us about expectations. Several hours later and 1700 graphs later, my husband was done. The staff gave me the post op instructions and away we went back home to Louisiana. We watched the growth of the hair and we were very pleased! Not only were we contacted several times post op to check but just everything about Dr. Arocha and his staff was amazing. This leads me to last month. My husband felt he would like a little more….away we went to Houston. Now, you really understand how pleased we are…we went back to Dr. Arocha! I cannot say enough great things about this Doctor, his staff or the art of the procedure, Dr. Arocha gives people their genuine smile again after getting that little extra back up top! We appreciate everything he has done for us and believe when I tell you if anyone ever asks (which they probably won’t because it’s the most natural looking procedure I’ve ever seen) I will tell them there is 1 place to go and it’s Dr. Arocha.

Great job Dr. Arocha and Staff

by Hairthere at Citysearch

It has been only a year since my procedure and what a year it has been. There are so many wonderful moments I've enjoyed since deciding to use Dr. Arocha. He came highly referred, and with good reason.

I was impressed from day 1. His offices and staff are first class. The procedure went without a hitch and was surprisingly comfortable. The recovery was quick and I have no visible scarring. The most amazing thing is that I never told anyone, other than my wife and hair dresser, about this procedure- not even my kids. Incredibly, no one has ever asked about it. Occasionally I get the remark that my hair looks thicker but I just credit it to Propecia and the conversation moves on. No one has ever suspected I had anything done. Of course, Dr. Arocha would probably prefer that I tell everyone about his great work, but the fact that no one has ever figured it out makes his work even greater.

I was 50 when I did this and my hair was visibly thinning. I would constantly look in the mirror, reshaping my thinning hair to cover up exposed scalp. It was always an issue and always in my conscious focus, as I knew my hair was getting thinner by the month. Just deciding to go through with the procedure lifted my spirits and outlook. Once over, I’d look in the mirror with a different attitude. Now I knew that my hair was going to grow in and get thicker every day, and that’s exactly what happened. Seemingly unnoticeable, but looking back at my old pictures I see the dramatic difference it made. Even more dramatic is my mindset now, freed of my concerns regarding my thinning hair.

If you can afford it, do it. I can’t recommend Dr Arocha, Craig and his staff highly enough. They are true professionals and artists and literally have changed my life. My sincerest thanks to them for everything.

HAPPY HAIRLINE!

by Alex In Dallas at Citysearch

Dr. Arocha has exceeded my expectations far beyond of what I imagined. I came to him looking for help with a bad hair transplant, and not only did he fix the botched procedure I had, he also made me a hairline that made me look 15 years younger. I am extremely happy with the result, and would highly recommend Dr. Arocha's work to anyone looking into a Hair Restoration Procedure.

Excellent craftsmanship and a great team of people!

Good job and value for the price

by Mr X 2 at Citysearch

I was very very reluctant but I decided to do it. I was pleasantly surprised and my result is good 6 months in. Should be awesome once I hit the 12 month point.

Dr. A does good work and they are VERY forthright about setting realistic expectations and are very willing to work with you and have an intelligent conversation.

I used their Houston office. Most notably he can and will do a larger proceedure which is more bang for your buck as a patient rather than break things up into small sessions. I have talked to a few people and I think this is and was the way to go. There's a certain amount of fixed cost they have in the process that are the same regardless of # of grafts.

They were also great about setting up the timing of the proceedure to mesh with my holidays/time off from work.

The process even though long that day goes quicker than one may expect and the staff makes it fun as they have great personalities on top of technical skills.

Thanks Dr. Arocha!

Very satisfied with my natural looking results

by ScottMiles at Citysearch

I had serious reservations about having a hair transplant. I struggled with the idea for nearly a year. I still had a significant amount of hair and I was nervous that if I picked the wrong surgeon my results would look unnatural which would further erode my confidence and self-esteem. I either wanted natural looking results or I wasn’t going to do it.

After meeting with several of the larger hair transplant chains I was fortunate to find Dr. Arocha. His sterling reputation as a leader in the field of hair transplantation is well deserved. It’s not just that he’s as much artist as surgeon, it’s his commitment to his craft that enables him to achieve high density natural looking results. I picked Dr. Arocha because after speaking to him and meeting his staff I felt like he could deliver. I can't pinpoint the exact reason why I trusted him all I knew is that I didn't feel that way when I met the other doctors.

I flew in on the day of the surgery and arrived at his office around 9am. The staff was very warm and friendly. Although I was nervous, I felt like I had made a good decision. Dr. Arocha and his assistant Craig explained the process prior to getting started. The surgery went very well. Although I was awake and received 3,400 grafs, I didn’t feel any pain and only have a vague recollection of the procedure itself. I spent the night in Houston and flew back home the following morning. The first couple of days I had minor discomfort in the donor area but was fine with over the counter pain medication. After a long weekend I went back to work. I am currently 11 months out. I look and feel 10 years younger. I’m ecstatic with the results.

My only regret is I wish I would have done it several years ago. I would have saved myself a lot of grief. If you are thinking about having a hair transplant, I strongly encourage you to at least meet Dr. Arocha before making a decision.

Good Luck
