The whole process was fantastic. From the initial consult to the day of the surgery the team and Dr. Varona were top notch. The surgery was painless the team was very professional and friendly. Dr. Varona's work has really changed my life. I now have the confidence to workout outside without a hat.

I credit this feeling to Dr. Varona and the staff at Ziering. If you are struggling with hair loss and looking for a solution, Dr. Varona and Ziering Medical is the place to go.

After loosing my eyebrows in my 40's, my eyes never looked beautiful anymore. So I finally to decided instead of continuing getting my brows done with permanent make-up, I would look into Hair Restoration for my brows. Wish I wouldn't have waited so long. I now have my YOUTHFUL EYES back. He is a very easy doctor to talk with and ask questions. You will receive truthful answers about any procedures you elect to have done. Down to earth, easy going. I was very relaxed during my procedure and knew I was in the best hands with him!

Making the decision to have a hair restoration procedure in itself is a difficult decision to make. Like most people, I was very skeptical and wavering on whether or not to proceed. Upon meeting Dr. Varona all of those doubts went away. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and sincere in answering my questions and alleviating my fears. I could not more highly recommend him as a doctor and someone you want to help through the process of hair restoration. My surgery day was flawless and my results have exceeded my expectations only 10 months out. I have Dr. Varona to thank for that and would not hesitate to point anyone in his direction. I plan on doing this again at some point in the future and will only do so with Dr. Varona as my doctor.

Excellent follow-up and 5 star experience as a patient. My own background is a physician so I am very particular when I have to be a patient. Raymond was incredibly helpful during the consultation and walked me through the entire process, outlining all my options and detailing everything. Dr. Varona is an exceptionally skilled surgeon. The graft harvesting and suture line is pretty much flawless. I remember feeling the back where the grafts were taken and the suture line was very neat and clean. Raymond has be wonderful with the follow ups and is incredibly knowledgeable and well versed in this. I have had a wonderful experience and would recommend this to anyone.

After watching my hairline recede for the last 20 years I finally got the gumption to do something about it. I met with patient advocate, Dana Lemay and Dr. Chirs Varona to discuss my goals and the best course for treatment. Because I wear my hair a little long in the back we decided the the FUT treatment would the best treatment to maximize results. I did my own due diligence and talked to a friend who had recommended the FUE treatment but after a final consultation and some assurances from Dr Varona I was satisfied that the FUT was right for me. The day of the procedure went smoothly. I actually fell asleep during the FUT strip removal but was awake talking and watching a movie for the rest of the day. My only advice for someone considering either FUE or FUT is to be mentally prepared for a rather long day of being poked and prodded. I wouldn't describe it as painful but rather mild discomfort for several hours. It's long and tedious. In my case I arrived at 8:30 am left the office at 7:00pm. I was happy to get home have some dinner a glass a wine and sleep on my back as instructed. The next morning a hot shower never felt so good and I was on my way to a rather productive day at work even though I had planned on taking the week off. I thought i was going to go incognito, wear a hat and stay out of site for a week or so but after a couple days my scabs had healed enough and I had the confidence to go about my daily routine like nothing happened. Now I'm one week in and my thoughts are toward spring when there will be more than tulips sprouting up. I'm excited to think how nice my hairline will be once it starts growing and I have no doubts I made the right decision.

Dr. Varona and his staff were very professional. They stayed with the procedure long past the scheduled surgery time in order to make sure everything was done right. The results are amazing. Thanks to everyone's efforts. I am now pleased to do things with my hair styles. I like the way I look.

Looking forward to the final outcome. Wow, what an experience!!

The moment I arrived to Ziering Medical, the staff was very warm and welcoming, doing an exceptional job of making the patient feel as most comfortable as possible whilst remaining professional. I saw my doctor face to face for consultation and was introduced in depth with the different procedures performed at Ziering. I have to admit, after my consultation I was sure that this is the place where I want my hair restoration procedure performed. I settled for the FUE procedure, minimizing the pain and no visible sign of scarring. The procedure itself was quick, as for as such procedures go. I was taken care of flawlessly during the procedure, while Dr. Varona performed at his best and made sure everything goes exceptionally well. After the procedure I already had a chance to get a glimpse at where my new hairline will be and also the eyebrows because I had these done too, and I was amazed, it was beyond my expectations, and I can't think of anyone ever regretting going through the procedure as it is so life changing. The post OP treatment and visitations remained as professional as the procedure itself where the staff was exceptionally helpful and informative. Today is my last post OP "laser" treatment and I couldn't be more satisfied with what Dr. Varona has given me, definitely more confidence and another look, one that I wished I had and now have.

Dr Varona gave me a lot of time and thoroughly explained the procedure in detail, never making me feel pressured. He was kind, informative and very reassuring. I chose to do the hair transplant and so happy I did. I was surrounded all day by the staff and technicians that made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I'm writing this the day after the procedure and happy to say it was easier than I expected. No pain and I look forward to the next few months and seeing my results.
