Dr. Joseph F. Greco
Medical Director·Greco Hair Restoration (Greco Medical Group / Greco Dermatology)
United States
Background
Joseph F. Greco III, MD is Medical Director of Greco Hair Restoration in Sarasota, Florida, and, per the practice, third generation of his family in hair restoration, following his father and grandfather since 1958 1. The practice states he is board certified by the American Academy of Dermatology in both Dermatology and Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery 1. He earned his medical degree at MCP Hahnemann University, Philadelphia, in 2002 2. He has said the vision was to work alongside his father as his father had with his grandfather, so "everybody here is going to be treated as family" 3.
Procedures and techniques
The practice offers Bio-FUE and Bio-FUT, plus eyebrow transplantation, female hairline lowering, hairline masculinization/feminization, and corrective procedures 4. For Bio-FUE it uses either the NeoGraft machine or Devroye's WAW FUE system 4. For Bio-FUT it removes a donor strip, dissects it into grafts of one to four hairs, and implants the units by hand in a designed pattern 5. Both also use cytokine-rich plasma taken from the patient's own blood, applied to donor and recipient sites and used to bathe grafts during dissection 5. It states laser-assisted surgery is not standard, used only for graft sites in extensively bald patients 6. The only staffing detail given: a technician dissects grafts under a microscope; who performs extraction or implantation isn't stated 6.
Pricing
The practice does not publish package prices, stating pricing "may vary with each package and tailored treatment plan" and asking patients to call for a consultation 7. Its G1 package bundles a Bio-FUE or Bio-FUT procedure with a post-operative kit and seven photobiomodulation sessions; G2 adds a hotel night and transportation; G3 adds a "Restoration Vacation" with a dinner with the doctor and a hotel wound check 7.
Booking and aftercare
Consultations begin with an intake conversation and hair-loss-history form, sometimes with scalp photos; the practice says it encourages an in-person visit for patients near its office, arranging a video appointment when that isn't possible 8. The doctor then assesses the scalp, discusses FUE and FUT, and determines candidacy 8. It states it employs no marketers and guarantees the consultation is with a Greco doctor 8. For recovery, it describes the early look as sunburn-like for about three days, with roughly half-inch hair visible after 6.
Credentials and memberships
He is listed as an IAHRS Associate Member in Florida 9.
