I had a great experience with Dr. Arocha and his staff.
First of all, great office! Dr. Arocha mentioned that he's an art lover and that his passion for all things well done carries over into his work. That was comforting to know and it became apparent in his attention to detail.
One thing I look for when employing someone for any kind of service, is to see if they will engage in conversation and take the time to answer questions. If I'm going to take the time to research a subject, then I want my doctor to take the time to talk to me and and answer questions.
Dr Arocha was very friendly and patient, and he took the time to answer my many questions, to my satisfaction - and even again on a follow up visit to his office before I made my decision to go ahead with the procedure. I learned a lot about hair restoration on the internet, but it wasn't until I went in for a consultation that I really learned some of the finer details of how it works. I highly recommend that if you are considering a hair transplant that you go talk to Dr. Arocha. He can show you things in person that you can't see or find or the internet. Dr Arocha put no pressure on me to move forward. He answered my questions and then when I was ready, I made an appointment to have a procedure done.
Another nice surprise was, on the day of the procedure, I was so relaxed and laid back, it didn't feel like I was about to have surgery. It was like being in a hair solon and I was about to get my hair styled. In other words, although very professional, the environment and staff were calm. The procedure was not painful in any way and the staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable at all times. During the surgery the staff put on some nice relaxing music and I actually fell asleep for awhile. The design of the office and the state of the art equipment in the office just made for a very relaxing experience. I remember telling the staff afterwards that I didn't feel like I had just had surgery. It was that calm. Afterwards, although I felt fine, as a courtesy, one of the staff gave me a ride home. Followups have been easy. It's great having a doctor so close to home.
And the best part? It worked! I'm just about five months out and I have a think patch of stubble growing where the procedure was done, and my girlfriend has a hard time finding the donor area. So, the work was clean.
I highly recommend that regardless of where you live, but especially if you're here local, to make an appointment for a consultation.
Pros: Intelligent and down to earth doctor, friendly staff
