I have had GREAT results with Dr. Panagotacos in doing an artist's job on my hair transplants at his main office on Union Street. In my book, he is the best in the business. Period. And he has a great sense of humor and a very loyal staff (most 10 years+).
I've checked out some of the national "hair mills" so I know. Dr. Panagotacos does the implanting work himself - that's where the artistry comes in - rather than passing it off to assistants.
Dr. Panagotacos is an American from a Greek old-world family. So it makes sense that he's also been exploring the medical use of olive oil for dermatological use. (In fact, he's so proud of his old family's olive farm in Greece, that he's got a side business of importing award-winning quality olive oil too - in Molly Stones and Whole Foods.)
In addition, he has mixed his own topical hair solutions using multiple compounds which are far better than the Monoxidol that I've been using.
Clever, these Greeks... (the Olive Oil's pretty good too. I've bought some at Draegers in San Mateo!)
Anyway, I don't personally know any other doctors who have written acclaimed books in their field. I've even bought his Complete Book of Hair Loss Answers as gifts for two of my friends. From Amazon.
Bottom line secret: go to a doctor that other doctors go to, like Dr. Panagotacos.
So, I'd highly recommend him to anyone. And I paid a lot of money to him to have my hair transplant work done. It ain't $5 co-pay insurance! But boy is it worth it!
By the way, I'm not related to him, don't work for him, and never knew him before I went to see him. I've had two sessions now - and both were fantastic. My friends tell me I look 20 years younger. Enough said.
