Here is the latest review from Google+ from a patient who identifies him or herself as "A Google User." It was posted four months ago:
I've had 2 procedures with Dr. Arocha, and highly recommend him and his staff. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again. Check out his website for pictures of his work, and Google the various restoration websites for his mention. If you do your research (and you should) you'll see he is an excellent choice, especially if you live in Texas.
Here is the latest review from CitySearch from a patient who identifies himself as "Austin S." posted 11 months ago:
I’ll start by saying, I began to lose my hair at a relatively young age. By my Sr. yr in college I had friends poking fun at me because of my receding hairline. I knew it was all in good fun, but as time went on and I continued to lose more, it began to really bother me. When I turned 25 and came to the realization that I was just another few years away from being VERY bald in the front and mid section of my head, I decided to take action. I did my research and came across Dr. Arocha’s name in a number of online publications and reviews. He appeared to be regarded as one of the best in the business as I could not find one unfavorable review. I called his office and set up a consultation, free of charge. After 30-45 minutes of informative conversation, I was ready to sign up!
5 years, 3 procedures and 6000 grafts later, I can’t tell you how happy I am with my decision to go in for that initial consultation. Of all the things we spend money on (that we don’t necessarily need to have) this ranks as the most worthwhile IMO. I truly believe confidence in the way you look is good for your health and prevents unnecessary stress. The fact is, a full head of hair slows the appearance of your aging, makes you feel better about yourself, and is more appealing to others (although my amazing wife would never admit that she cares how much hair I have).
Furthermore, the unfortunate truth is that a first impression someone makes of you can very well be influenced by your appearance. The last thing I wanted, was to lose business or not get a job because I was not appealing enough to someone elses eyes.
The procedure itself is a walk in the park. I’m not going to compare it to getting a Swedish massage, but it is certainly nothing at all to be afraid of. Dr. Arocha’s team is very caring and professional, nothing at all is rushed, and very minimal discomfort (if you want to call it that) occurs during the procedure; just a pinch here and there when they numb your donor area and recipient site. Seriously, nothing to be worried about!! I could talk to the staff during the procedure, and at times I would doze off for a little bit. If you need to get up to go to the bathroom, you can do so at anytime. Dr. Arocha lets you chose the lunch order for the day as well!
The first night of recovery is probably the most difficult part of the process, but it really is not that bad. Yesterday I had a procedure with approximately 1800 grafts and got a good 7 hours of sleep, only waking a couple of brief times to adjust my pillow. When I awoke this morning, there was only slight discomfort from the pressure being applied to my donor site, but not even enough to make me take pain medication today. Additionally, as long as you sleep elevated at 45 degrees, there is no visible swelling to your face.
Overall, I not only highly recommend a hair transplant if you are debating it, but I highly recommend Dr. Arocha and his team. They are a top notch operation, are always available for questions if you have them, and do their best to make your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. You will not regret an investment in Dr. Arocha, as the results he delivers are well worth it!
We greatly appreciate and value all patient feedback and encourage patients to share their experiences with others. It is good for our hair restoration practice and good for the community in general to share this type of information. Thanks to "A Google User" and "Austin S." for taking the time to share their stories.
