PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

A.L

I went in for an initial hair transplant procedure yesterday and the procedure went well. Dr. Ching and the staff were very courteous, professional, and experienced in what they do, which comforted me as this is all new to me. Looking forward to the results to come to fruition in 3-4 months where my hair will grow again in those thinning areas where my hair was starting to bald.

S.R.

For many years I have looked into ways to solve the problem of receding hair. Only after having worked in the medical field myself and being able to see Dr. Ching's results in real life did I choose to go with Asia Pacific PS for my FUE hair transplant surgery. With the ARTAS robotic hair transplant technology he and his staff utilize, I should be able to walk confidently with a natural full head of hair very soon! The office of Dr. Ching's staff was wonderful and very accommodating. They never made me feel rushed or insecure asking questions. Post Op day 4: the pain from the surgery was a tad bit more than I expected but was almost gone after 24hrs. The hairline has been restored and now onto the long process of healing, but from the outline, the hair transplants all seem to have taken hold, and should see great results!

The procedure is finally done. Like what I see so far. The staff was super awesome. Worst part of the procedure was the shots that numbed the area. Didn't realize my hair loss area was that big (my own personal denial) until I saw the final results.
