Hi. My self Manas from Talcher, odisha. I did my HT at Alloroots BBSR.. Before reaching there I was confused about things like how the procedure may be or what may the result about HT then I show lots of videos on YouTube related to it.. After researching many times I was confident about the clinic and then I decided to go ahead with the HT treatment and met Dr Alok Sahoo. After discussing we went to HT treatment.. After 80 days I am writing my reviews on it..My hair transplantation went very smooth with small bearable pinchings which Is a normal procedure. The entire experience was very good.. Dr. Sahoo is very friendly and all staffs are very supportive.. After shedding phase I was mixed feelings on my hair density and hair line. Doc has advised me to wait till 5th month and you will feel the result better.Now I am confident about my result..I will give my complete review after full result.Thank you Dr Alok Sahoo and team 🙏

Ambience was very nice and peaceful3. Amenities like drinking water, rest room all were present4. Staffs were very friendly small to small things were taken care of before asking.About the transplant-1. Procedure was done with optimum breaks which was very relaxing with chill background music.2. Procedure Was not at all painful though time taking.3. Aseptic measures were highly maintained4. Doctor was very friendly and very meticulous about the reconstruction , he asked me what is my need according to that he did many designs over my scalp and gave me options which design I like according to that he finalized that.. all through the procedure doctor was there and did all the things like extraction, slit making & implantation by himself and after procedure the look was exactly matching the design done on markers.5. Post procedural measures like dressing, caps , masks, medicine and everything was taken care of without asking and have been explained very clearly what to do , what not to by the staffs..In all total , I was very satisfied with the procedure and look he gave me.. the scalp was so clean no oozing or crusting were there...waiting for the results .. and hope for the best ☺️ ☺️
