Dr. Anastassakis has been officially selected and featured in the 2026 Edition of “World’s Best Hair Transplant Doctors” by “Ape to Gentleman”, one of the world’s most respected independent editorial platforms in men’s lifestyle, grooming, and health.
This international distinction is particularly significant, as Dr. Anastassakis is the only hair transplant doctor from Southeastern Europe included in the 2026 edition. His selection places Athens — and Greece — firmly on the global map of elite hair restoration and highlights the country’s growing role as a trusted destination for high-quality medical tourism.
“Ape to Gentleman” platform is known for its strict editorial independence. The “World’s Best Hair Transplant Doctors” annual guide is curated by Spencer Stevenson, a globally recognized hair-loss patient advocate. Having undergone hair restoration himself, Stevenson is respected internationally for exposing unethical practices and recommending only doctors who meet rigorous standards of credibility, transparency, and patient care. His editorial voice carries substantial influence among international patients seeking safe and reliable treatment options. Inclusion in its annual guide represents a strong third-party endorsement and an important signal of trust for patients worldwide.
Dr. Anastassakis stands out globally for his unwavering commitment to transparency and evidence-based practice. He is among the very few hair restoration surgeons worldwide to consistently publish extensive real patient video documentation, presenting authentic results under natural conditions and long after surgery. This open approach allows prospective patients to evaluate outcomes realistically, rather than relying on selective marketing material.
Supported by more than 1,000 verified Google reviews, Dr. Anastassakis’ work reflects thousands of real patient experiences, from consultation through long-term follow-up. This level of independently verifiable feedback is exceptionally rare in the hair restoration field.
For international patients, this recognition is of particular importance. Hair transplantation is increasingly global, with patients travelling across borders in search of medical excellence, ethical standards, and trust. Being the only doctor from Southeastern Europe featured in the 2026 guide positions Greece as a competitive and credible destination for advanced hair restoration.
This distinction strengthens Greece’s international profile in medical tourism, demonstrating that world-class, patient-centered medical expertise is available at the highest level in Athens.
