I am currently two weeks post op from a 3000 graft unit hair transplant performed by Dr. Arthur Zacco and his outstanding staff.  My experience has been outstanding and I would full heartedly and without hesitation recommend him to anyone who is considering having a procedure such as this.  Dr. Zacco and his staff take the time to get to know their patient, patient goals, and are up front and personal when it comes to expected results.  From pre-op to post-op care, I was and am taken care of, and have the confidence in the results one could expect from a properly performed procedure.  I just had my sutures removed from the donor area, which Dr. Zacco removed himself as opposed to having one of his assistants do for him, and although I am still pending my 6 month and 12 month follow up, I have the confidence the results will be what I expect if no better.  I recommend staying away from the big commercial type hair restoration companies if you are considering hav

From the time I first stepped into Dr. Zacco’s office to the time I left, I was treated like a queen. Dr. Zacco and his team are awesome! I have scalp scars that I wanted to have hair restored into. Dr. Zacco and his team were very professional. They made me feel at ease and understood my concerns about performing hair transplantation on African Americans. I was pleased to learn that they perform this procedure on all walks of life. I felt so special when being treated by Dr. Zacco and his staff. They answered all my questions and explained everything from the angles and directions of the hair growth to the size and shape of the grafts. I felt very comfortable in their hands. They reassured me that they will do the best possible job they could because they aimed to please. I am very happy with the results thus far. It’s only been two weeks since my hair restoration and I am healing very well. I am confident that I will have pleasing results in the months to come. I was reassured the donor scar would be covered by my existing hair. It’s like an art! Dr. Zacco has skills and he is so wonderful. I would highly recommend him to others. Thanks to Dr. Zacco and his team. Verendia Cameron, NC Procedure Performed: Hair Restoration (Transplants)

Dr. Zacco did a great job with my hair. My pre-treatment counseling was accurate and informative. I had all the information I needed to make a good decision about my hair. The results were fantastic. If you want more hair this is the best solution for permanent hair. Dr. Zacco and his team did a terrific job making me feel at home during the procedure and with all the care after the treatment. I can recommend him unconditionally. Holden Carrboro, NC Procedure Performed: Hair Restoration (Transplants

Dr Zacco is simply good at what he does. I researched several different places to get my hair transplant procedure done, and I found Dr Zacco's setup to be the most personal and least "production line" of them all. His technicians are very good, and the facility while not very big is very clean and well kept, perfect for this sort of outpatient surgery... I don't want to go to a large company’s office in Atlanta or Charlotte, or anywhere else! Dr Zacco's pre surgery attention to details and post surgery follow-up is hard to find in any doctor. You won't be disappointed.... I wasn't! Joshua Apex, NC Procedure Performed: Hair Restoration (Transplants)

I did an extensive research about hair transplantation surgery and for hair transplant surgeons. I came across lot of horrific stories about some big hair transplant medical centers. So I decided to stay away from them and I read great reviews about Dr. Zacco with who I finally decided to go with. From the first time I met him for free consultation the hospitality I received from Dr. Zacco and his team was amazing. He carefully analyzes your baldness and recommends a perfect solution that will bring back your natural appearance. He clearly goes over the pre and post surgery instructions in person with you. Dr. Zacco himself will call you occasionally before the surgery date to make sure you are doing well. Dr. Zacco has very experienced technicians with him during surgery and the surgery itself is painless. At the end of the surgery day you will feel that you had a great relaxation day listening to music, watching videos and having a great time with Dr. Zacco and his crew. After you leave the medical center, Dr. Zacco himself will call you and make sure that you are doing well. Dr. Zacco will have you come back the next day to make sure the grafts are properly seated. And after a week, he himself removes the suture. Dr. Zacco will take pictures at every stage since the first time you meet him for consultation. Six months after the surgery, he will show you the before and after pictures for comparison. I have done two transplantation procedures so far with Dr. Zacco and I am very much impressed with the results. I highly recommend anyone considering hair transplant surgery to consult Dr. Zacco and I am pretty positive that you will be fully satisfied with your decision.

I began to hate the way my hair was disappearing over the years. After seeing a video tape at work for a class I taught, I was really disappointed to see the side and rear views of my hair. I started to explore the possibility of an alternative to balding. I looked at multiple hair restoration doctors, and Dr. Zacco was the only one to provide the time and interest to fully answer my questions. He was very up front about pricing and expected results. I was drawn to his confidence and that made me feel like he wanted me to have a great result. The Rogaine and Propecia route were not able to provide any results for me, so I decided to invest in a transplant. I could not have been more pleased with my decision. The procedure is virtually painless and quite easy to do. The professional setting and extreme caring of the doctor and his staff put me at ease. The procedure is actually a day of relaxation and joking while the procedure is performed. I watched a few movies, listened to my favorite music and joked with the doc and the staff. We even all ate lunch together during a break. After the procedure, Dr Zacco himself had me come back to the office (no other doctors offer this additional service) for him to clean and inspect the recipient and donor areas. He personally removed my sutures to ensure that there were no problems. The other doctors told me I could just go to the emergency room to have the sutures removed. That felt to me like they were done with me when the procedure was completed. I didn’t miss any work. Within 4-6 months my results started to really show and the hair began to fill in. Having my hair replaced has given me a renewed sense of high esteem. I just feel better with my new hair. Six months after I had the procedure, people started to ask me if I was losing weight and that I was looking younger. This happened many, many times. Why Dr. Zacco? A great result and a caring physician, Period! Please view my before and after pictures under "MW" or "Mike Wilson" on this site. Mike Raleigh, NC Procedure Performed: Hair Restoration (Transplants)

I have used Dr Zacco 2 times, and both times the results have been fantastic. He has an incredibly artistic eye, which allows for extremely natural looking results. In addition, his staff is top notch, and his post-op care is world class. Erik Morrisville, NC Procedure Performed: Hair Restoration (Transplants)

This letter is a testimonial that Dr Arthur Zacco has completed two hair restoration procedures on me to date. Back in February of 2006 I went to a well known national Hair Restoration company that has many infomercials promoting their procedures. I was not impressed with the doctor’s care or how he treated me as a patient. Besides that negative aspect of the procedure I also got an infection from the grafts. When I went back to have a checkup and also to possibly schedule another procedure the doctor blamed me for the infection, when in fact it was the companies fault for not placing the grafts in correctly. Since having the two procedures with Dr Zacco and his staff my confidence has increased because the grafts have shown a better result and the appearance is natural and undetectable. Dr Zacco takes the time to go over all aspects of the procedure with you during your initial consultation, and also follows up with you before you come in for the procedure. He goes over in depth the procedure and will tell you that they use state of the art equipment such as the Stereo-Microscope which helps produce ultra-fine follicular unit grafts. In addition, Dr. Zacco also is there for the pre and post surgery and specifically removes the sutures himself to make sure everything looks correct. After six months he brings you back to the office for a checkup and also goes over the picture comparisons that are taken before the procedure. What really sets them apart from other national known Hair Restoration companies is their customer service from the beginning of the process with his staff as well as their flexible schedule to accommodate any busy schedule. So, without any hesitation I would recommend anyone who is considering this procedure to meet with Dr. Zacco for the consultation and I believe you will come away fully satisfied and more knowledgeable about the techniques used to produce that natural appearance.
