I went into my hair transplant journey not knowing what to expect. The first person I talked to was Kendal and from just that experience with Kendal I knew this was the place I wanted to get my hair transplant from. She was so sweet and explained everything to me. The day of my surgery one of the nurses named Ericka was with my throughout the whole process! She even played BTS for me which was really sweet. I was super nervous but she honestly helped me calm my nerves I’m so thankful for her! All the other nurses were amazing and so sweet! Dr. Varona is the absolute best! He explained everything to me and was super nice! They even bought me lunch. The whole experience was just wonderful and I’m so glad I was able to go through this journey with all of them. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is seeking to get a hair transplant!
After having had multiple hair transplant procedures, I can only say that I wish all of them we’re done with the same level of precision and professionalism as I experienced with Dr. Varona. The entire process went very smoothly this time around and I highly recommend Dr. Varona for any hair restoration considerations. All of the team members were exceptionally nice and very professional as well, so I strongly encourage anyone entertaining the notion of hair restoration to put Dr. Varona on the top of their list.
It was a world class and professional experience ever since the initial consultation until after the procedure. I can’t say enough good things about their professionalism and attention to detail by the entire staff. Dr. Varona made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. This is actually my second procedure, and this one was much more smooth than the first one. If I were to do another procedure, I would definitely come back. Highly recommended. If you are thinking about it, just do it.
I cannot begin to enough to thank Dr. Varona in providing everything he said he would and could do. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would rate him at the highest rating possible. Ive researched for years hair restoration surgery and surgeons, spoken with countless friends that have had the procedure done with different doctors and after finding his work posted on social media, and noticing his true artistry acknowledging his talent. I knew he had to be the right doctor. After doing my consultation via FaceTime, I booked my surgery months later. I can attest that I just had my surgery on Sept 9, 2021. My experience is amazing. I didnt feel any pain or discomfort, during and after surgery. I flew back to my hometown the very next day and to my surprise, not even I could tell a hair transplant was completed. I had no swelling or scarring. Coverage behind my hairline, front and some mid-section with concentration on both front and crown areas was what we decided on. Our goal was achieved and my look is better than ever. IF YOU ARE READING THIS, AND TRYING TO DECIDE ON WHAT DOCTOR, I HOPE YOU MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE AND BASE THIS ON THIS REVIEW. DR. VARONA IS THE REAL DEAL!!!! MY TRANSPLANT LOOKS NATURAL AND I HAVE NO SCARRING. THANK YOU DR. VARONA I WOULD DO THIS 10X OVER WITH YOU AGAIN!
I searched for 3 years on doctors for hair transplantation. About a year ago I began to follow Dr. Varona on Instagram and also followed his patients recoveries. During this past year I visited 4 other FUE specialists, but in all of them something was either not truly clear or they treat me as another patient. Finally I had an appointment with Dr. Varona. Once I met him in person I realized he was not only the right person but the only one I would trust to do the job. His demeanor, his care for details, his detailed explanations and considerations, his artistry, his warmth and down-to-earth attitude won me over. On the day of the surgery I met his staff. I am very inquisitive individuals, so even during the procedure I had lots of questions to the staff and him. The staff not only share his attributes but they are also extremely well informed in every step and detail of the procedure. And they pampered me and made the entire procedure totally pleasurable. The post op directions were the cherry on the cake: detailed information and thorough coverage of what to do and expect. I am no novice when it comes to cosmetic procedures, and I have never had such an amazing experience as the one I had with Dr. Varona and his staff. I recommend him fully hearted and if I ever need other areas to be done in the future (we all age), I will have no one else but Dr. Varona to do it. As for the results of the procedure, I can only say they way beyond my expectations. Way way beyond.
I recently traveled from Arizona to California to have an FUE procedure and PRP performed. I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. From the consultation through the postop visit, everything was easy to understand and smooth. The office was clean, modern and the staff were great. It was almost a spa-like feel. Dr. Varona was caring meticulous and easy to get along build a rapport with. The procedure itself was painless.I highly recommend anyone interested in having a hair transplant to check out Dr. varona. I will be certainly referring any family or friends who are interested to him.
I love everything about Varona Hair Restoration. Dr Christopher Varona and his staff made me feel right at home while under going my procedure. Dr Varona is genuinely such an expert with Fue and curly hair. I recommend him and his staff to anyone from across the world. The facility is super clean, and the environment is very friendly. Thank you once again Dr Varona for your time.
Absolutely amazing experience! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly staff member that introduced herself. She helped me sign in, fill out all the required medical forms, and even gave me a menu to order lunch (for later) from a few different local restaurants.After taking some “before pictures”, I got to meet the doctor. The doctor is just as kind and sincere as his staff. He spent about 20 minutes asking what my ultimate goal was and also his recommendations. I was very happy with what we decided together.I was there for about 8 hours and they took such great care of me. It felt like a VIP experience only reserved for celebrities.The facility was immaculate and very comfortable. I watched Netflix the entire time on a big screen television. The doctor and staff constantly made sure I was comfortable.This doctor is a perfectionist and it’s obvious he takes great pride in the work he does.A sincere thank you to the doctor and the staff. I would recommend Varona Hair Restoration to everyone.
It has been a little over a week since my FUE procedure with Dr. Varona. I haven’t had any problems since the procedure, besides minor itching in the donor areas. One of my main concerns before moving forward with the procedure was having a natural hairline. I am very happy with the way it has turned out so far. Dr. Varona did an awesome job. I would like to thank Dr. Varona and his staff for the smooth process and amazing service. Every single person made sure I felt comfortable and got my mind off of being nervous. They are very professional and organized. I look forward to sharing my results with everyone. Thank you again for everything Dr Varona!
I would like to start off by recommending Dr. Varona and his staff to anybody considering getting a hair transplant. He is absolutely the man to go to!! I had an extremely positive experience with fantastic results, and I could not be happier!I got an FUE hair transplant done this month (December 2020). My consultation with Raymond and Dr. Varona was extremely informative. The day of the surgery was also a pleasant experience. The entire staff was kind and accommodating. The surgery went smoothly, with everyone constantly checking in on how I was doing throughout the day. I couldn’t have been in more capable hands.The best part was looking into the mirror at the end of the day and seeing my new hairline.This process couldn’t have been made easier.Thank you so much to Dr. Varona and the entire staff for such a great experience!
Great experience. They are the best of best. I would highly recommend. The staff is so caring. They went above and beyond to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. If I could give it more stars I would. Dr. Varona’s is a very professional place.
I’m 2 months post surgery and so far I’m very satisfied with my results. Dr.Verona is an incredibly talented and most importantly compassionate man. He really takes the time to listen to what your goal is and is very transparent about what he can and cannot do. He does the entire procedure fromstart to finish. The staff members are all full time and are skilled long term employees. The facility is amazing and extremely comfortable. Raymond is super nice guy and is extremely responsive to all my questions. The results take time. It takes about 5 months to start seeing a noticeable difference but it’s well worth the wait. But so far so good. Exceeded my expectations! I will review my 6 month results When the time comes. So far I highly recommend Verona Hair Restoration
I was able to have a FT conversation (I’m located in Orlando Florida) with Raymond at Varona Hair Restoration. He was more than helpful, not only with caring about my life and how I’m holding up during this weird 2020 pandemic time... but also providing detailed information on all of the hair options specific to me. I couldn’t feel more comfortable with the level of care and professionalism he showed. What could have been a very informal rush was instead a very pleasant logically broken down conversation. Ten out of ten for sure. Give them a shot if you’re contemplating this route, ask your questions, get great info, and know you’re in the hands of a group that truly gives a f**k.
Yall this man is the best in the biz! When I tell you from consultation to operation day, I felt so comfortable & secure in his and his staffs hands, it was truly next level. Not only is Dr. Varona AH-MAZING, so is his staff! They were so comforting and reassuring, I felt like I was being treated on by family. There are not enough stars to give the operation he is running. So thankful for what a tremendous job & experience this was for me - if you want the BEST, Dr. Varona is the ONLY choice!
I Must say this was the best experience. Dr Varona, Raymond, and literally everyone there has been amazing and made me feel comfortable. If you’re reading this and you’re looking for hair restoration. I definitely recommend you at least have a talk with Raymond or dr Varona!! Love my hair!
I saw Dr. Varona at his previous location. I dont think I can name it, but I can speak to Dr. Varonas talent, expertise and professionalism. Chris did as much for me as he could do. It cost me less than I was expecting and the results were better than I thought. Im glad he put out his own shingle. I have seen maybe six different doctors all over the world and he is by far the best with the least amount of recovery time. Id give him six stars if I could. As good as it gets.
There are no words to express the gratitude and praise for Dr. Varona and his staff. It all started with a friendly phone call with Jodeann, followed by a warm reception at his office with Nallely, a courteous and knowledgeable consultation with Raymond, and a truly impressive introduction to Dr. Varona. When you meet Dr. Varona you will be instantly impressed with his compassion and personal interest. It may be difficult to say a doctor is a passionate artist but those words are not adequate. Dr. Varona and his assistants, Heidi, Alex, Raquel and Jackie were exceedingly patient and caring and worked tirelessly for the entire day with me. But all of this would be of little value if it were not for the amazing results. Even after a few days I can tell what my hair will look like and for anyone that has spent their life seeing their baldness in a mirror or seeing their photos with missing hair it is like being a new person. What Dr. Varona and his staff have done is a true Blessing! And do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Dr Varona and his staff were phenomenal. I was very skeptical about getting the surgery initially, but what an amazing difference! Everything went as expected and the procedure went great. Again I can’t say enough about Dr Varona and the staff, so very nice and professional. When I returned for my follow up several months later, the nurses even came out to say hello and see how things looked. Anyone considering getting the surgery, I would say do it. I am extremely happy with the results!
Dr. Varona performed my FUE hair restoration on 3/11/2020, so I am only 3 weeks post-op. I will give a more detailed report many months from today, when I better review the results. That said, I can provide commentary on the excellent care I received, both by Dr. Varona and his entire staff. Dr. Varona painstakingly performed the grafting procedure himself. That was of great importance in my decision to select Dr. Varona. The post-op instructions were very clearly written and the office staff connected with me via email to make sure I was doing well.
Dr. Varona is a fantastic hair transplant surgeon. Ive had work done by several doctors, including industry pioneer, the late Lee Bosley, and Dr. Varona does the best work Ive ever experienced. In addition, hes down to earth with no ego issues. You cannot do better!Michael Greer
Dr. Varona works wonders and really gives me an outstanding result. This place is very new and clean. Raymond had been really helpful. Lovely crew and the way they welcome and treat you, it feels very intimate and comfortable. I know they haven’t been here long enough but once you go and actually see the place during the free consultation, you will know what I am talking about.
I had such a great experience with the Varona hair restoration team! They made me feel so comfortable before and during the day of the surgery. I did a lot of research and met with a few other hair restoration groups but were no match versus the Varona hair restoration team. With their knowledge and warm approach they made it easy for me to choose. I want to thank Dr. Varona for the great work along with Raymond and rest of the team for the great experience.
Had a great experience from start to finish with Dr. Varona and the team! They put so much care and attention to detail, I was comfortable the whole day and my expectations were exceeded. I’m glad to have gotten this done right.
Not only is Dr. Varona an exceptional Doctor he has taken hair restoration to a new level. From his artistry to his perfection he is a true leader in his field. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a hair restoration procedure. From the first time I met Dr. Varona I felt very comfortable and at ease. He is very kind, comforting, and knowledgeable. I have had 3 procedures done and Dr. Varona has given me not only my self confidence back but also a new outlook on life. The outcome of the procedures is better than I could have ever imagined. His staff is exceptional especially Eduardo who is not only kind but makes you feel like family.
Dr Varona is one of the best in the business for hair loss. He cares about his patients and is an honest and trustworthy doctor. I had extreme hair loss and saw many doctors before seeing him and he was able to get my hair growing. I can only say the best about this practice.
Dr. Varona and his whole staff are some of the most kindhearted people i ever met. After having a bleaching accident that shattered my confidence, a hair restoration procedure that i wasn’t super happy with, i knew i needed to look elsewhere. After speaking with dr varona multiple times and seeing his work i knew he was the right person to go with. His kindness, his attention to detail, he really works with you and examines you closely and extensively to meet your goals. this makes me so excited for what’s to come. I’m an emotional sap i couldn’t help but cry tears up happiness back to my hotel after my procedure yesterday because i finally feel one step closer to being happy and That’s all thanks to Dr Varona and his team
Not afraid to admit I was apprehensive about this procedure. Dr. Varonas professionalism and demeanor immediately put me at ease the day of the procedure. He has an understated confidence that is calming and assuring — and his staff, well they were just the right balance of friendly and professional. Overall, it was a great experience.
As a young and active guy (24 years old) living in a large city, the last thing I needed to worry about was my hair thinning out. Over the course of a few years I noticed my hair beginning to thin more and more, and I knew it was time to be proactive and seek professional help on the best treatment solutions for me. Seeing a bunch of different companies/products out there that advertise hair growth, I didnt know what to expect, so I was referred by a family friend to make an appointment to see Dr. Verona. Dr. Verona and Raymond were amazing, and in a world where surgeons are quick to jump to the conclusion of needing surgery to replace lost hair, they really put their patients needs and best interest first! I was prescribed medication and the results after only a few months have been outstanding. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Verona and the team if you are concerned about your hair loss and want professional and honest help!
This post comes 3 days after my surgery but I could not be more excited about my results to come!I consulted with over 50 different clinics and private practices stateside and worldwide (bit of an over researcher!) as my quest for hair restoration stems over years so, as you can imagine, finding the right surgeon was my biggest dilemma.I found Dr. Varona and upon first consultation with him and his staff, I felt comfortable and invited. I was able to ask all my questions without rush and was able to even text in case I had more follow-up questions. I did not feel that I was being sold something.After a few more questions and even a second consultation with him and staff again, I was convinced he was the right choice. I scheduled the surgery for two weeks later.Surgery day I was introduced to the staff who made the overall process painless and as easy going as possible. Keep in mind that they spent over 12 hours working on me! The procedure involves extracting from the donor area followed by incisions to place the hairs according to the flow of hair and finished by the actual placement of hairs. What I found fascinating is that him and staff did all of this manually! They were incredibly patient and awesome to work with. They provided with lunch and snacks throughout the whole day and was able to watch over a couple of movies so as to not feel the longevity of the procedure.After the surgery, I was given detailed after care instructions and was asked to come in the next day for a follow up wash and a lesson on how to properly apply the foam / shampoo / topical antibiotic ointment for faster healing. I was fortunate to develop minor swelling only but I also have been following all instructions to a T.I’m due for another follow up tomorrow and I have seen major improvement in the donor area (no visible scarring / swelling). Now I just have to play the waiting game but could not be happier to have chosen Dr. Varona and staff!I hope this review helps others in their search for the right surgeon to truly consider Dr. Varona. He and his staff are caring and knowledgeable industry experts who do have your best interests in mind and you will not be disappointed to entrust your faith in them.
Went and spoke to Dr. Varona and he was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.
I recently underwent a hair restoration procedure by Dr. Varona. I am a registered nurse and felt very comfortable in choosing Dr. Varona over other doctors I consulted with for the same procedure. Dr. Varona appeared professional and very conscientious and his staff is amazing. I am awaiting the results of my procedure but am firmly confident of a great success.
I have been contemplating getting a hair transplant surgery (FUE) done for three years. Ive searched everywhere from Turkey, Europe, the east coast, and finally the west coast looking for the best person for the job.I consulted a few doctors in the tri-state area and many seem to be more money oriented over the patient. As I started to give up my search I decided to search hair transplant on instagram. A few doctors got my attention but the one doctor who stood out was Dr. Varona.I sent him a direct message, expecting to receive a late response, but within the half hour I received an answer. He asked me a few simple questions and we found ourselves scheduling a face time interview on a time-frame that worked for my schedule.During the initial interview I met Dr. Varona and Raymond over the phone and we discussed how many grafts I would need, the logistics of getting to their office, since I lived on the east coast and they were located on the west coast. Raymond was amazing and more than helpful on any question I had.I decided to have Dr. Varona do my procedure because he does the extraction and insertion of the grafts himself, which is hard to come by in the hair transplant industry. His keen attention to detail made sure I had the right symmetry with a transplant that looked natural. He was kind and courteous along with his amazing staff. They all made me feel comfortable and the day was all about me.I am happy I had Dr. Varona and his staff be part of this important milestone in my life!
Dr. Varona is a consummate professional! During our consultation he explained the process of FUE in detail, and answered all my questions and concerns. It has been three weeks and I have had no redness or discomfort, and no shedding of my grafts! He and his staff have also been tremendous in my aftercare. I would definitely recommend Dr Varona to anyone considering enhancing their appearance through FUE
Officially now two weeks post op from my FUT hair restoration with Dr. Christopher Varona of Varona Hair Restoration in beautiful Newport Beach, California, I can truly say that Dr. Varona is beyond gifted. He possesses this uncanny ability to both put you at ease and place you in utter and complete confidence. He makes you feel self-assured and with each moment that passes, you grow in assurance that you are under the care of a true master and artist.I had extensive hair loss since I was a late teen. Being both in my late 20’s and a transgender woman, I was really tired and really exhausted by the constant dread of looking in the mirror and never seeing who I truly am. I had to do something.Finding a hair restoration surgeon as a transgender woman and as a woman from Chicago, I had to rely on the good word of a great friend of mine who had worked with Dr. Varona for many years. She assured me he was the man for me. I checked out his Instagram @drchristophervarona, his innovative and interactive website, and his YouTube channel, and was so thoroughly impressed I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Varona via FaceTime. He spent a considerable amount of time with me on camera assessing my needs and providing me with his recommendation on what would be best moving forward for me. I spent a lot of time talking with his partner Eduardo, who was so helpful in aiding me to arrange my stay and make this experience as comfortable and seamless as possible as I was coming from far away to see this gifted surgeon.Dr. Varona began by creating a new feminine hairline for me. He is a true artist and took his time, and his entire team made sure that the hairline was not merely proper but also exceedingly complementary to my appearance.He meticulously carved and created the strip of hair from the back of my head by which all the grafts would be harvested from. Everything was done in complete ease, as PA Ruby was so conscientious of making sure I was without pain and his team, particularly Vanessa and Eduardo, were all attentive in ensuring my comfort throughout this process.From then, Dr. Varona’s team of technicians created the grafts that were to be transplanted. His amazing team, which consisted of Raquel, Vanessa, Rosie and Richard created 3,193 grafts, which Dr. Varona and the team would harvest and place in my scalp for the actual hair restoration.After around noon and until 9pm, Dr. Varona and his team carefully and beautifully filled in the top of my head and created my new hairline with these 3,193 grafts. It was a true masterpiece and work of art to see myself at the end of the day with hair where once there was nothing and for so long, I thought that would all that would be for me: nothing. Therefore, it is so important for me to state how life-changing this procedure by Dr. Varona was for me and how affirming of my life and my identity this entire experience has been.The littlest things were what made this all so magical. As soon as I walked into the operating theatre, Dr. Varona gave me his personal Netflix to watch whatever I’d wanted. Eduardo had spent so much time prior to my appointment getting to know me and my goals. During the procedure, Ruby went out of her way to share so much of her life and interact with me. Dr. Varona’s techs Vanessa, Raquel, Rosie and Richard all got to me know personally and I, them. It was in the sharing of stories, ideas, goals all interspersed with the clinical miracle of planting hair that I ceased being who I was and entered into this miraculous state of having hope again in seeing myself for who I truly am. I cannot thank this team enough for their hard work and all their efforts in making me so happy and so pleased with my results.As I am now officially two weeks post-op, I can confidently say Dr. Varona has performed a most excellent job on a most harrowing and complex patient. I am beyond grateful to Eduardo and Dr. Varona for making my dream into my true reality.
As a patient absolutely ecstatic about Dr. Varona’s work, I write this review considering the state of the Hair Resoration industry and the product that Dr. Varona offers that is unlike any other.My girlfriend, her son and I all had FUT (son and she had FUE) done by Dr. Varona; their’s a year ahead of mine. Even though there are many hair transplant surgeons in the Bay Area, I took a flight to have him perform the surgery after I learned the difference between Dr. Varona’s technique and most others.First, if you’re researching now, ask the practice if the doctor will be performing the actual graft placements. This is one of the most unbelievable and important differences with Dr. Varona. He not only oversee’s every part of the process of harvesting thousands of follicles that inevitably involves a team, he actually places every follicle into the patient HIMSELF. He does not leave it to his tech (whom you will most likely be told elsewhere will be the actual one placing most of your grafts). He alone placed every one of my 2600 grafts.I found out that in addition to having a tech do most of the actual surgery, some physicians don’t always know how to do the procedure at all. In these cases, they use a company like Neograph who flies in a team to do the entire surgery under that physician’s license whether the physician is actually involved and trained, or not. This seems unacceptable and legally questionable. If something goes wrong, who is the accountable party for the patient in that case?Which leads to revisions. In my visit with Dr. Varona I learned that he does many revisions for folks who ended up with subpar results because of the lack of participation by a fully trained surgeon in some cases. The cost of these shortcuts being the patient’s head and or face.Secondly, as mentioned on his website, he does ‘manual’ FUT. I learned how much that matters. Most of the time the doctor (or sometimes not the doctor) makes small holes in the scalp after which the techs place the grafts into each hole. Dr. Varona places each of the individual grafts with a tool that makes a tiny hole only big enough to hold one follicle of hair. This is very labor intensive for a physician to do.The benefit of Manual FUE or FUT is the precision of the follicle placement and the ability to pack in a denser volume of follicles to an area creating a fuller, thicker result so as to reduce a need to return for another treatment. This is far more labor intensive for him and the whole team. I don’t know of another physician that will do this.When I asked him why he does, he says he opened his own practice just for this reason. He wanted to make the call to treat only one patient the whole day to ensure the best outcome. He loves his involvement and actually enjoys the work and all the time he spends. He is meticulous. He is an absolute artist. This is the physician I want framing my new face.Many physicians run 2-3 surgeries a day, such that the surgeon spends 1/2 or 1/3 of the time with the same patient. He is living his aspiration, one thrilled patient like me, at a time.I really thought all this work on my behalf compared to what other practices were doing would have to substantially change the price I was quoted by Varona Hair Restoration by comparison. I was shocked that the cost was more than competitive. The total cost beat out some of the other quotes I received. Now that I understand what surgery the way he does it really entails, and what I potentially avoided, I would have paid far more to see Dr. Varona. It was a deal, even with a flight and an overnight.Lastly, this should not go unsaid: his whole team is exceptional and so caring. They worked their butts off on my case and I have no doubt this is their standard of care. I wish I could do more to thank this group for the outstanding work they did for me. I know my friend and her son feel the same.
Wonderful human being. Even though I didnt qualify, he was very nice and heart warming
Hands down Dr. Varona has a special gift. This is an art and the amount of time and effort Dr. Varona puts in to perfect the outcomes for his patients is impeccable. I had the FUE treatment and my results are honestly better than I ever thought they would be. I was always on edge leaving my house worrying about how my hair looks, now when I go out people literally say I have some of the best hair they have seen.I work in the medical field with ENTs and Facial plastic physicians. I sell medical devices and consult physicians. The most important piece of information I tell my accounts is that you have to not only give the best results, but also the best patient experience. Dr. Varona has all of this. This is obviously a procedure that is a personal concern to people as it was for me. Like I previously stated not only are the results beyond what I couldve imagined, the patient experience was unbelievable. I have Dr. Varonas personal number and he picks up the phone whenever I text or call with a question. This man has a special gift and talent and he has completely changed my life and I will always be grateful for him.
Clean, friendly and professional!
